I'm beyond negotiating with them and letting them off just because I know the rules. I'm reporting every single one that breaks the rules. That is the ONLY way they're going to learn to stop trying to pull a fast one on people with white skins. LTA and the taxi co's are pretty good at enforcing complaints and there is a driver demerit system (but that only works if they're caught).BillyB wrote:+1
There seems to be a lot of overcharging, and the subsequent acting stupid bullsh*t when pulled on it, happening recently.
I had one guy add a Changi airport charge for a journey from suntec to raffles and argue and argue even though the receipt said changi on it. And last sunday I had some geezer try and charge me peak hour fare - likely because we were going to a hotel from orchard with bags of shopping.
Whjat always makes me laugh is as soon as you pull them on it - they go all sheepish and embarassed and apologetic. Very few will actually argue back.

I usually will tell them which route I want to take. No buts no ifs
My rule is take me there "my way or the highway"
Srew with me at your own peril which usually comes with a very simple sentence
"Uncle, don't play play or else I report to LTA"
Now, now; don't go accusing cabbies of being racists. They don't go just trying to rip off white people--they try to rip off people of any color if they think they can get away with it.carteki wrote:I'm beyond negotiating with them and letting them off just because I know the rules.
