Hiring taxi on Friday night can be officially announced as only for long trips.

I see at least 50 taxis crossed me ‘Hired’.
NVM, I understand it’s not my day. Have to wait.
After waiting half an hour in Tiong bahru, finally a taxi came with green light and he ask me where . I said Serangoon. He didn’t even give respond me properly and just closed the window and flew away.
What kind of attitude some taxi drivers have ????

In week days, I just stand in walkway also got taxis stop and ask if want taxi or not . When busy, shows too much attitude!!!
It’s not shift change time. Just they want to hire the drunkards with long distance on Friday night!!
Here are what netizens think:
- Although this behaviour is not acceptable but hope this will remind everybody the days where private hire cars do not exist back then and appreciate what we have now.. Last time taxi really have to wait super long before getting one and when they finally arrived, our destination was not the desired place the taxi drivers wanted and have to wait again… Zzz
- Some taxi drivers has attitude which I agree is wrong BUT if we in their shoes we may understand why.They earn high income for more trips but they are exhausted after long hours of “focus driving”. They have no annual leave, no bonus, no PH, no increment, no any benefits like an employee. As such, some off balance themswlves from basic responsibility with personal benefits. IF we could just accept life is tough, forgive them and we would feel happier…. Everyone living a life that beyond words…
- Actually all u guys need to do is not down number plate, time and location. Send in the complain to LTA. No need to report to their company as they won’t care. Better of have video evidence. As long the taxi top is green, they cannot even ask where you are going as green mean they are ready for hire. This is what LTA officer told us. Unless if the top put busy or changing shift then they can ask your destination. When COVID time all taxi see passenger as gold. Now when open and during peak or midnight, they start the old game already. Pick and choose… Next time during these type of timing get ready to record when u see a taxi with green top. They have demerit points for their taxi license too. Once demerit points full, their taxi license will be suspended..
