(for me, its NO so far)

Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway videos

The following videos are filmed by me during my Hong Kong/China/Macau trip late last year

They are filmed at various locations of Hong Kong on the Christmas eve of 2006

as follows:


Metro Carmell Waymann upgraded train (Kwun Tong MTR)


Mitsubishi-Rotem K-Stock (Kwun Tong MTR)


Adtranz CAF Airport Express train (Sunny Bay)


Adtranz CAF Tung Chung Line train (Sunny Bay)


Rotem K-Stock Tung Chung Line train (Sunny Bay)


Refurbished MCW Disneyland Resort Line train (Sunny Bay)

Note that the file size of these video files may be large and thus slow loading may be expected. However, do enjoy these HK MTR videos!

Congratulations!

Just hope that more people would use cabs for years to come

Specially for TWS4793:

Bedok North Street 3 (outside Banquet Foodcourt)



Next: Old Central Star Ferry Piers, Central, Hong Kong

that's unbelievable and shocking to see such big mirror inside the taxi.

-----------------------

and why would the following:

Stooky lift thread lift until very song hor?

appear continuously in FBI, tamago, and monoslayer's replies?!

Kwong Yuen Estate, Sha Tin, Hong Kong

re TWS4793

Have some lah.

Need time to get a complete set of Bedok North taxi stand photos

BTW: The brochure that I got today from the taxi dealer of the New Easyaccess taxi. BTw: the taxi company/dealer raised the price to $205,000 with P - 2% interest...As I can't just buy the cab off Crown Motor (Toyota Dealer) because all cab are alreay bought by the taxi company/ dealer, then they will either Long term least/ shift least or sell to individual owners, some also hire drivers to drive.

did not see any Easyaccess taxi in HK when I was there

not sure if referring this rip-off case to Small Claims Tribunal is possible or not

but JSV, you can consider referring to SCT.

hope this helps

2007 is coming..........in one day's time.

so, what are your hopes and wishes for Singapore taxis in 2007?

-------------------------------

For me,

1) Hope that taxi rides are more comfortable
2) Hope that the taxi rides are value-for-money
3) Hope that there would be lesser fare scams and rip-offs
4) Hope that the service quality of cabbies could be improved
5) Hope that the taxis would take a more direct route to destinations.

anything else?

Anyway, Happy New Year 2007 to all sgtaxis @ sgforums users

JSV,

can you....................just forget about this and continue with your life?

life is not about grumbling here only because of your overpaid fares.

-------------------------------

Its some 2 months since this incident was first heard.

I think nothing much was done by LTA about this.

Besides, there is another case of rip-off recently.

-------------------------------

So,

compared to theirs, this is just a small incident.

--------------------------------

Really, no use about "crying over split milk". Get on with your life, JSV. And all the best for you.

more..................

more and more and more older ones:

Now in HK.

Just returned from china (shenzhen, guangzhou, zhuhai) and macau.

-------------

lots of cabs there

but the taxi ride in guangzhou is a hell

taxis in guangzhou are very much affected by traffic jams. this causes the taxi(s) to make frequent hard fast braking along the way. so the taxi rides there can be so shaky until i felt dizzy upon reaching my destinations there.

the ventilation in taxis there may be poor as well

worst, if kena volkswagen, the taxi would appear cramped after my family members were onboard --- the volkswagen are simply too small-built

anyway taxi fares in guangzhou starts from RMB 2.60 (1 sgd = 5 rmb appx)

the make of taxis there are mostly Volkswagen taxis made in Shanghai under the name of "Shanghai Da Zhong"

pixs would be up later

Incoming photos:

Taxi stands of China, Macau & HK

Please stay tuned

Thx

so far are there any laws or rules that forbid taxi passengers from bringing pets onboard?

(O.T. : Now in HK)

hey hey these proton taxis in Singapore are not "Pirate Taxis" !

They are Malaysian cabs of Singapore - Johor Bahru Taxi Service.

uncle, in front traffic light turn left, drop me at the bus stop

$2.40

what a waste!

FireIce, you can actually through the MRT station concourse, onto the covered walkway (should have) and into the bus stop, instead of taking a short taxi ride like that --- and $2.4 gone!

Why would you take such a short ride like that? For fun? or to avoid MRT Station crowds?

I have an idea that you are taking it for fun. What a joke!
