我好希望整个地球只剩下我和你我就能勇敢的说我还爱你

just received a sms from my boy... he's super tired, waiting for cab home with some friends.... HOWEVER, all the cabs go hide again!!!

Speaking about this really does make my blood boil....

Recently in the news, it's been reported that some MERCEDES cabs "park" along clarke quay, outside MOS, waiting for tourists to "hail" them... and they will charge at $35!!! that's horrible... they are like lions!! according to the reporter, only at certain places like hotels' taxi service, changi airport or expo, there are special cases where merc cab will charge at this rate, but THESE blackhearted cabbies decide to "CHEAT" the tourists' money... and when the tourists happen to ask locals whether this fare is reasonable, the rude cabbie told the local off, asking the local to mind his own biz... how can this be happening?? this is such a shame to singapore....

talking about the cabbies, i really think that singapore really "dotes" them too much.. thinking that they don't have enough income when there's a hike in petrol prices,etc so, they let the cabs charge all the peak hour charge($2), ERP, midnite charge., on-call, city area charge...etc and THESE cabbies really know how to make full use of these charges... when it's peak hour, all the cabs will come out... when it's like... 30 mins before peak hour, it's super hard to get a cab... why?? because they go hiding.... eat or drink or even park somewhere to take a nap... so they can earn the peak hour ($2) WHAT ELSE?? they go hiding so that people will call them...... ON CALL CHARGES... $4!!! So, when you are in the city area, it's super duper hard to get a cab... because..... they want you to CALL at PEAK hour to earn all the GOOOOOOOOD money... So, in this way, cabbies are "encouraged" to hide in corners and wait for the good money, instead of going out to search for commuters... i wonder if this is the reason why more cab companies are opening... and is this the reason why... with more cab companies, more people are deprived of the chance of hailing a cab on the street... more cabs that are empty and has the "busy" and "on call" sign on their decks....

I simply "LOVE" the cabbies!!!
