Anyone can write good English if they really have an interest in it and is willing to spend time to improve on it. You too!!.

To be honest, I was surprised by your command of the English Language. It is pretty hard to get a taxi uncle to speak proper English, however your posts showed that you are quite educated! Keep it up bro! Your blog is Bookmark-ed in my browser already!

I think removing all surcharges with compensating fare hikes will only make taxi fare less confusing but might not make improve taxi availability, which is the crux of the problem in Singapore. Call booking with an incentive is necessary to bring supply to meet demand.<br /><br />I'm not an economist nor a "smart guy". From an ordinary taxi driver point of view, I think the "supply & demand" theory might help.<br /><br />To increase taxi availability to those who can afford it, demand must be reduced and supply increased through pricing mechanism. Eventually, an optimum level will arrive when fringe players ( taxi commuters & drivers) are removed from the field.<br /><br />So, Anon, you're right after all.

I made a mistake just like I sometime did while sending passengers to wrong destination when the name is almost similar. It reminds me that I had to be extra careful when as a situation occur while on the job. Thks.
