      Alvin , when i first drove a taxi , that time i drove the Toyota Corona , 7 years old Corona , si bey jiat you , knn only $0.44 / litre , whole day chiong like fuck , only $18 maximum !!!!

      Now u complaining , i immune liao ..... i want business only .

      So my solution ?

      Go into City take the CBD surcharge , do my maximum intake i can have when i am vacant , ready for new customers .

      If CBD got ready-made $3 , i will forgo call at $3.50 outside CBD area .

      The best it's CBD with booking , can cover for quite a bit of diesel cost .

      no demand sure has to be unchanged .

      Diesel high demand , so price follow market rate .

      not surprising...

      they already said they won't increase rental fee....

      they didn't say they won't increase diesel price...

      diesel hike is base on market forces , taxi companies can really do nothing .

      I for one never blame comfort for the hike .

      In fact , reverse , i appreciate what comfort did to subsidise a bit for us as in rebate form .

      SMRT has about 3000+ taxi after decades? Premier and Trancab have grown to 2500-3000 within a year or two. SMRT won’t be 2nd for long…. sorry to say that but it is a disgrace to SMRT/TIBS management… let anyone else manage SMRT earlier and it would have been much nearer to comfort size over the decades… from what i observe in taxi business, size does matters
