so complicated

why is the cab fare structure so complicated in singapore...???

they have the city area surcharge...... effective from 5 pm to midnight (monday to saturday) for any trip from downtown.....

then there is a late night surcharge.... ok this one is quite straightforward cos after midnight u simply pay more....

another one is peak period surcharge......... now this one is not so straightforward cos from monday to friday it's effective from 7 am to 930 am..... and then from monday to saturday it's effective from 5 pm to 8 pm......... hmmm

there's more ...... like the airport surcharge........ i have heard of the singapore expo surcharge and i think that's not all............ not too sure what other surcharges they have......

u also have to know about the booking fee if u call for a cab........... flag-down fare is pretty standard ...... and of cos not forgetting the distance-related charge....... and waiting-time charge....... too long a wait at a junction will cost u too.......

sigh.... so complicated....... might as well take the bus or train............ but then that's another can of worms.....

haha.... forget it..... might as well ride a bike....... cheap and fast...........
