This is not the worst.

 

Ever see how people can drive cars and yet decide to park illegally along the road or loading/unloading bay and have their meals? When fatimahs come and visit, they just start a 100m sprint with the rice in their mouth or kuey tio on the lips to hop on their cars to avoid fatimahs summoning them....

 

Come on....get a life Singaporeans! Just tear that orange 1 hour coupon for the peace of mind to have proper meals with your loved ones. How much does a coupon cost as compared to the potential fine u will be facing? Btw, I am a Singaporean but I am sick of all these......

Don't even need $1 lah. Just a single 50c coupon is your insurance against a $30 or $50 (double yellow lines) or even $100 (double yellow lines at an HDB service road) fine. Sometimes I wonder if those people can do maths. 50c vs $100. These people better don't play shares.

Bad service: Cabby driver off with her bag

 

From reader Chitra Kumar

 

I HIRED a Trans-Cab taxi on 28 Feb in the evening from McNair Road, near Balestier, to Far East Plaza.

 

Upon arriving at my destination, I realised I had only $8 with me and the fare was about $9.55. I asked the cab driver to wait at the side so that I could go to the nearest DBS ATM at Far East Plaza on Level 1.

 

He then raised his voice at me saying how I should have told him earlier and not upon reaching the destination as he cannot wait at the zigzag line.

 

I told him to either accept the $8 or wait for a moment while I withdrew the money. I kept my shopping bag, as an object of trust, in the cab.

 

He yelled at me again: 'Of course, money lah, I want money.'

 

Unfortunately, there was a long queue at the ATM, and I had no choice but to join the queue.

 

However, in the rush I forgot to note down his licence plate number.

 

I know it's illegal to stop at the zigzag line, but the driver could have exited Far East Plaza and come back seeking the full fare, as I was prepared to pay whatever the fare was. I even told him to keep the meter running.

 

When I returned about 30 minutes later, the cab was gone. I then called Trans-Cab informing it about the incident and asked for a message to be broadcast for the errant cabby to return my shopping bag.

 

I also requested the customer service staff to inform me on updates, but none called. I had to call three times and was told each time that there wasn't any response, and that it could have easier if I had noted the licence number plate.

 

Finally, I received a call from Trans-Cab at about 10.40pm the same day informing me that the driver had left my shopping bag at the Neighbourhood Police Centre at Tampines Ave 4. I was told to pick up my belongings on my own.

 

While I demanded that my shopping bag be sent to me because I was not in the wrong, I understand that only the rightful owner can pick up the belongings from the police station.

 

The cabby's behaviour was totally unjustified.

 

I was also disappointed with the attitude of the customer service staff at Trans-Cab.

 

This is the third time that I am experiencing such behaviour by Trans-Cab cabbies.

 

I e-mailed the cab company twice, but have yet to receive a response.

What an idiot.... What guarantee is there for the cab driver after half an hour of turning round and round and become say 80 bucks and the customer will still pay?

More likely it is the passenger fault......and without reasons

At least the driver 'deposit' the stuff at PP tho. How can the passenger ask for delivery to the house? Cab driver also dunno have wait for 30min, he ji tao steam stone stun, pek cek, drive off lest he thought kena dua. Ko Lian Dai.

Brainless bitch. The issue is not about her willing to pay the full fare. Within that 30 mins, the cabby cud have got another passenger. To stop at zig zag line cud have cost the cabby a $70 fine. KNS.

i dont see anything wrong with the driver.

 

30 mins without driving.

firstly, how much meter can jump?

secondly, must turn off air-con. if not, die of carbon monoxide.

 

served this passenger right. for having to pickup the bag in tampines.
