Was at Vivo City yesterday evening with a friend. Really crowded & drizzling.

My friend tried to use Grab Share to get a ride to Toa Payoh.

He was shocked to see the fare quoted: $40!

In the end he got a ComfortDelGro taxi under flat fare booking for $19.50.

Daylight robbery!

Wonder if the Neighbour hood shop selling umbrella 🌂 for $5 can immediately jack up the price to $10 if it starts to rain?

CASE will come after the shop owner and summon him for profiteering!

But Uber & Grab special. Got government's approval & blessing!

Maybe because Ho Ching's Temasek Holding got shares/ investment in them. That's why...

Grab Share is open to both Car and Taxi, during peak hr Grab Car surcharge will be higher than Taxi which will push up Grabshare and JustGrab rides

But non peak hr they are definitely cheaper than Taxi and with Grab being so aggressively on their Promo deducting $5 off for 1 ride a day... its definitely cheaper

Uber/ Grab got 68,000 cars. Taxi itself is 26,000 taxi.
So total is 94,000 cars/taxi. It is way above the total of the requirement. Sometime when you click Jurong to Toa Payoh is only $2-$4 only.
So if they increase the price don't click and wait for taxi. It is a Supply and Demand theory. If no demand the price will eventually same or lower than the Taxi price. If everybody don't rush home and wait. The Uber/ Grab price will eventually drop. There is no peak hours , it is only supply and demand requirement. If people understand the theory , they will end up taking a bus back home. After a few months, they will change their price again.Let wait and see if everybody cooperative.

Taxi companies losing business, getting desperate

[jacky43]

SANTA CLARA, USA — Singapore could be the first country in the world to get a widespread transport service made up entirely of self-driving cars.

That’s the view of Glen De Vos, the chief technology officer of Delphi Corporation, a major automotive supplier that is working to launch just such a robot taxi business here.

Delphi already has one self-driving car on the road here, and will introduce two more this month to gather more data as it prepares to operate an on-demand taxi service minus taxi drivers.

The company has been working with the Land Transport Authority since August last year on an autonomous taxi trial. The project is designed to figure out what is needed on the infrastructure side — in terms of the road network, data centres and so on — to make robot cabs viable here.

If all goes to plan, by 2020 you should be able to summon a driverless car with your smartphone to take you wherever you want.
-------------

I asked a Taxi driver if driverless cab come true in 30 yrs time, will he lost his biz? He was fast with a typical kind soul local man. He said dont bother because he might pass on, if not retired by then.

Being trained by this good website I had this to share with him. 30 yrs ago his seniors has taken care of him, probably teach him the trade in driving taxi. His mentors do concern of him wish his biz can pass down to the next generation.

While this taxi driver dont care of his next generation. Next generation drivers has hard lifes not his biz. He was running away from the problem. That is as good as being screw every 4 yrs knowing things getting more expensives. Still believe and in the same time cheating ourself, actually nothing can be done. This country belongs to them.

He knew he was wrong. I will appreciate he pass the message to other drivers. Of course being a local he will forget and blame heaven for his mistakes. Side track my friends. The pen is powerful because the X we mark can change our future into a good one. Where we are not afraid of our employers who threaten to replace us with machines.

A colleague has this to say. Triump is not wrong in forcing FTs to leave and, return the power to employee. Remember this my friends.

Not sure how the driverless taxis will help to improve our daily lives.

We need machines to help lighten human work load, or to resolve manpower shortage or to improve efficiency or all of the above.

Current taxis have no above-mentioned problems.

So why the fuck is there a need to introduce driverless taxi?

A past incident came to mind.

On 1 of the days, I had a flight to catch at 8pm out of Singapore for a work trip.

But then there was an urgent meeting that was called & I had to attend.

The meeting took quite awhile.

The office admin helped call a cab for me.

I was running late for my flight.

Guess I was lucky to get a helpful taxi uncle who stepped on the gas for me. I was impressed with his driving skill, how he steadfastly weaved in & out of the evening ECP traffic.

I got on my flight in time😆

In future, bear with the driverless taxis 90km/hr speed. If u r rushing for a flight, be prepared to miss your flight😂
