i think they are also trying to find a way to increase their rental instead of deceasing it. Basically they will transfer the prices to customers

You must be kidding right ? If price increase too much you think people will want to take taxi ? There will be less people taking taxis and when less people take taxis taxi drivers income will drop even more .

Ya lo.

The older taxi drivers hate garbagement to the core.

Last time they drive at their leisure. One month make 2k And maybe drive half day satisfied le.

Now? Thanks to the cb taxi companies, all drivers must drive everyday cos everyday must pay taxi companies rental, whether sick or public holiday don't matter.

And since garbagement fuck up the economy, this means more n more people drive taxis, which means more n more competitive n less n less money to make.

End up the taxi companies make alot of money on blood n sweat n tears of sporeans.

Of cos garbagement only talk n talk n say how smart they are n how important it is to regulate cabbies.

In the meantime they don't dare control uber but use uber to criticise n attack sporean cabbies

The reason very simple.

No point having 10000 taxis if they're not on the road. Even though some ppl got taxi licence, they actually use it for other business, But these ppl In minority La.

Becos who will b impressed by real estate agent or vendor attend meeting driving a taxi??

Typical stupid garbagement decision

More cars may be hit with tax surcharges and possibly the end of diesel models


Christopher Tan, The Straits Times

A new Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES) effective from Jan 1 next year is likely to see more cars slapped with tax surcharges and, quite possibly, the death of diesel models.

The new scheme, administered by the National Environment Agency (NEA) and announced by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli yesterday, will be far stricter on carbon dioxide emissions, and will include checks on four other pollutants - hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Diesel models tend to produce a lot more of the last two pollutants, and the impact on their prices could squeeze them out of the market, experts said.

Stressing the importance of clean air, the minister said the World Health Organisation had reported that every year, air pollution killed more than half a million children.

"Diesel vehicles are a major source of local air pollution, especially particulate matter and nitrogen oxides," he said.

Models will be banded according to their worst-performing pollutant.

Diesel models, with their comparatively low carbon dioxide levels which would have qualified them for rebates, are likely to be slapped with hefty surcharges because of their relatively high nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions.

Many popular petrol cars which qualify for $5,000 or $10,000 tax breaks today will fall into the neutral band, where no rebate or surcharge is applied.

As of now, only electric models are likely to qualify for the top rebate of $20,000 and $30,000 for cars and taxis, respectively.
