Freaking Expensive - Taxi Fare
Oh, already passed.
Well, yesterday Sat, gd day.
Managed to catch up with my dear cousin after so long, and also managed to check out VIVO finally.
Super Big.
Watched Prestige, not bad. You will soon see me in Mr Bale's haircut in the film. Hes the Batman, not Wolverine.
However, too bad. Watched a 9 something show and in the end missed the last train from Harbourfront. Wanted to crash over at my cousin's place nearby, but didnt managed to find any contact lens solution. Damn. Nevermind, go home lor.
Whua seriously damn basket... Damn angry ar....
Took the midnight cab back, 1st time taking the midnight cab back alone since the rise of the cab fair, thus i had to foot the full bill. I have taken the midnight cab back from harbourfront to paris ris back before, and it came to abt 18 - 19 bucks. Not 25 up till pasir ris MRT only! I had to cycle the rest of the trip home.......
I had 27 dollars in my wallet man. And i cannot believe that i could not even reach home with that amount. Seriously! Its a total rip off! Cabs. The shitty meter jumps too unbelievely fast. At first i didnt notice, i just checked now and den to see when the 20 dollar mark was crossed. Sooner or later, 20 dollar mark was achieved.
Well, if yr taking the midnight cab home. Pls dont take notice of the meter, it jumps faster when you do. Paick Chi-ck ooooooh!!!
All this would not have even happened if the MRT is runned 24 hrs man. I am so very sure that SMRT can afford running the train service 24 hrs.
Even if just for lets say Friday and Saturday night. Even if its 30, 45 or 60 mins per train, i believe that it would create alot of smiles for alot of people...
Its a gd market given this timeframe if SMRT operates train for lets say just 24hrs for Sat and Sun, making it 30mins per train. Make it up by charging $5 dollars per ride. People will still be so happy take the ride.
I promise to write in this suggestion after i have done enough research and consideration not only from the consumer's, but also MRT's point of view.
I belive i cannot be the only one whos in favour of this, but i only know the Taximen will all be in objection.
