  Higher start up fares,all surcharges waived. If no midnite charges (HK does not hv 50% midnite charges),who will drive in the wee hr. Spore always use HK as benchmark. Sometimes u drive for 1 hr & more can not pick up a pax at 12midnite- 5 am.!!

  You keep waiting, as long as there is no cb said he or she earns 6 to 7k per month driving taxis...taxis fare would had long ago increased. That is why I say, TD take lj and beat his own head.

  Government will work with cab companies to simplify taxi fare structure 

  PUBLISHED ON NOV 12, 2013 3:25 PM

  THE Government will relook the taxi fare structure to make it simpler and easier to compare across cab operators, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Josephine Teo.

  Admitting that today's taxi fare structure is "complex and confusing for commuters", Mrs Teo said on Tuesday that the Land Transport Authority will work with the Public Transport Council and cab companies to look into retooling the fare structure.

  This will take into account "the impact on taxi drivers, ultimately to have a taxi fare structure that best serves commuters' interests", Mrs Teo told Parliament.

  Responding to Mr Liang Eng Hwa (Holland- Bukit Timah GRC), Mrs Teo said taxi fares were deregulated in September 1998 to allow cab operators to set their own fares to be "more responsive to market conditions".

  On whether fare structures now ensure enough taxis ply on the roads, Mrs Teo said the different surcharges have been imposed to better match taxi supply with demand by giving incentives to cabbies to serve locations and time periods where demand is high.

  Taxi companies are required to publicise fare revisions at least one week in advance in the media and on their websites.

  Simply speaking, TC 3.60, cdg 3.20, to simplify and standise it, the average is 3.40, cdg drive will kpkp so little increase, TC drivers might throw keys... ...Taxis fares today is like the repeat of Housing prices during the reign of Mabok Tan, let the market decide..let the market adjust..depend on market condition..end up, super high housing prices. Therefore, Mrs Josephine Teo (aka the big ass aunty), is nothing better than me...a TCSS minister of state
