Taxis

Singapore is a place where you can get taxis almost anywhere conveniently. You can stand anywhere down the road and flag a taxi that does not have any passenger and they will stop for you.However, sometimes taxis have plenty of problem in which they must take care to really evaluate themselves.

1. They stop at dangerous area especially at the junction of traffic becoz some ignorant passenger flag for taxi there.
2. They do need to have some consideration for their passenger especially when there is a traffic jam on the road.
One scenario, traffic jam, on the rush to get to the airport, don't tail gate the vehicle in front of you. Keep it moving and not keep to the same lane that is stuck or take another route to get to the airport.
Second scenario, consider your passenger, if you were the passenger won't you want to avoid having the meter running up if you keep tail gate the same lane that is slow?
Third scenario, switch lane safely and not dangerously
3. Drive safely when passenger in it.
4. Stop picking the customers you want to pick especially in the town area.
5. Price is costly during peak hours! 35% of the price of the meter is charge on top for taking the taxi during peak period. No wonder everyone avoid taking taxi.
