taxi driver

[dude]

Hello, excuse me - waz MIL & SIL ya ?

Yesterday got a bad experience with a taxi driver.
Yesterday me, my hubby, MIL and my kids n SIL went to compass pt to eat n shop.
then we decided to take cab home as we buy lots of things.
As usual, we went to taxi stand and took the 1st cab in Q.
After we got into the taxi and ready to go, the taxi driver said too many ppl (4 adults n 2 kids).
MIL say the destination is very near, but he say too many ppl.
Then SIL argue with him and we got off to took another cab.
Behind the Q is another family i think is about 3 adult n 1 baby.
The taxi drive oso dun wan to take.
Even the taxi driver behind oso angry with him, cos he was in the 1st Q, obstructing the way.
So mad.
Wonder if i should write in to lodge a complaint.

Is there a new rule for taxi saying that 2 kids consider as 1 adult?

Probably from Compass Point to Punggol is too short a distance for the cab-driver. He is maybe hoping, you'll ask him to go to Jurong  , thats the reason why he is quiet at the beginning. When you told him where you are heading to,    he said, " OVERLOADED "

When a passenger hail a cab from the airport to Bedok. Chances the cab-driver will keep grumbling all the way from start to end. WHY ? The cab-driver hopes to bring an " ang moh " from airport to Orchard Road and charge him a few times more.

Hopefully with the recent regulations in place, cab-drivers should learn their lessons.
