title: Singapore Taxi Fares and Surcharges
date: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 time : 8:42 AM I believe a lot of people know that Taxi fares have been increase again. But I didn’t notice how the meter jump until today I very boliao, observing the meter throughout the whole journey from my house to NUH. In the past 2007 Flag down fare: S$2.50; Meter Fare: 1km to 10km: S$0.10 for every 210m Above 10km: S$0.10 for every 175m Waiting time: S$0.10 for every 25sec Peak period : S$2.00 flat rate Mon-Fri, 0700-0930 Mon-Sat, 1700-2000 City Area Surcharge: S$1.00 Mon-Thu, 1700-2000 Fri & Sat, 1700-2330 Late Night Surcharge 2330-2344 -> 10% 2345-2359 -> 20% 00:00-0059 -> 35% 0100-0559 -> 50% Now 2008 Flag down fare: S$2.80; Meter fare 1km to 10km:S$0.20 for every 385m Above 10km: S$0.20 for every 330m Waiting time: S$0.20 for every 45sec Peak Period: starting fare S$1.00 (35% of metered fare) Mon-Fri, 0700-0930 Mon-Sat, 1700-2000 City Area Surcharge: S$3.00 Mon-Sat, 1700-midnight Late Night Surcharge Midnight-0559 -> 50% of metered fare Booking S$3.50 (0730 - 0930 and 1700 - 2300 hours Monday - Friday) S$2.50 (all other times including public holidays) S$5.20 (advance) S$1.00 (1800 hours eve to 2400 hours of New Year's Day, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali, Christmas Day, first and second day of Chinese New Year. Should public holiday fall on a Sunday, the surchage will be imposed till 2400 hrs on Monday) CBDS $3.00 (1700 - 0000 hours, Monday - Saturday, except public holidays) Locations S$5.00 (Singapore Changi Airport: Friday - Sunday from 1700 to 0000 hours) S$3.00 (Singapore Changi Airport: all other times) S$3.00 (Seletar Airport) S$2.00 (Singapore Expo)Higher flag-down rates for certain models. All ERP (Everybody Really Pays) charges incurred on the trip are to be borne by the customer. An additional 10% administrative charge on the total fare is also incurred when payment is made on credit or charge cards. Higher fares apply for premium taxi services that employ premium vehicles, such as CityCab's Presido and MaxiCab, Yellow-Top Cab's Sovereign limousines, SMRT's Prestige and London Taxi and Airport Transfer service, and etc. Singapore must win the award for the most complicated taxi fare structure in the world. With ERP (Everybody Really Pays) plus all the many different types of surcharges and complicated calculations. The formula being programmed is amazing. I noticed the peak hour surcharge is now dynamic. It costs 2.95 for the short trip instead of the usual 2 dollars although the startup charge is 1 dollar. Today my fares go like this Mater fares: S$2.80-$3.00-$3.20-$3.40-$3.60-$3.80-$4.00-$4.20-$4.40-$4.60-$4.80-$5.00-$5.20-$5.40-$5.60-$5.80-$6.00-$6.20-$6.40-$6.60-$6.80-$7.00-$7.20-$7.40-$7.60-$7.80-$8.00-$8.20-$8.40 Peak Period: S$1.00-$1.05-$1.15-$1.20-$1.30-$1.35-$1.45-$1.50-$1.60-$1.65-$1.75-$1.80-$1.90-$1.95-$2.05-$2.10-$2.20-$2.25-$2.35-$2.40-$2.50-$2.55-$2.65-$2.70-$2.80-$2.85-$2.95 Total=S$11.35 The usual price is bet S$7.80-$8.20 only. What a dramatic increase. I really need to give a big WOW to Public Transport Council and all the taxi operators. Labels: My views |
