This photo is taken a few days ago. Many people have realized that it is now much easier to hail cabs. Taxi are lining up and there does not seem to be people taking it. Previously, it was the opposite. Long queues of people waiting, but no cabs.
What's your wish for the new year? Cheaper public transport fares? ;-)
Oh well, becoming like Hong Kong now, thousands of taxis waiting for customer.
ReplyDeleteMuch better this way since we can hail a cab easily.
Serve them right for those cab companies. It is simply too expensive to take cab these days.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it stays this way all the way. These transport companies deserve a black eye.
ReplyDeleteWell, definitely better to have long queue of people waiting for taxi :)
ReplyDeleteIf you feel expensive, don't take the taxi. Let them solve the "problem" in this way.
ReplyDeleteInflation going up up up. I think I will buy a bicycle to travel around. :)
ReplyDeleteRumor is that some taxi drivers are saying that if the current 'bad business' situation persists until Chinese New Year, they are considering quitting. Let's keep this up...
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, is this photo taken in Clementi town centre?
