The long road in means that no taxi wants to go so much out of its way and would rather take a call from nearby estates like Tampines. Extending the $5 surcharge is a good idea and I would be interested to see if this works.
Last time I was there was this April, back from Bintan, ~7pm, a queue of cabs well behind the terminal. All the previous occasions IIRC either a queue or called them up with no problems of any kinds. Could be I was just lucky but this is my record.

The obvious conclusion is that we should only arrive at TMFT when we are travelling with X9200
Good to know that the situation may have improved though.

I've never had a problem in Sim Lim Square. In fact one time I was given an additional discount ($50, c.10%) without even asking for it.
Don't know what all the fuss is about.

I have witnesses for this taxis abundance
I only regret I did not take some photos but I was not aware if the problem.

This is more on a minor annoyance side. I buy practically all computer and photo stuff in SLS.
