IT CAN be a nightmare for cabbies when customers ask to be taken to a particular hotel. This is especially when several hotels have had name changes in recent months.
The former Le Meridien hotel in Orchard Road is now called the Concorde Hotel. If it sounds familiar, that is the old name of the current Holiday Inn Atrium in Havelock Road.
Cabbies say they are also confused by hotels which share similar words like Copthorne or Mandarin in their names.

Yea, i read it on the news. But the ST reporter oso KL. Just tell the cabby where is the new place lar. So wat, paying the fare of $25..... [We will lost at least $2.80 + potential city charge $3 for any long trip] No wonder many ppl cannot get a cab.

Usually kuai Lan passengers just say hotel, I ask for road names !
Road names are more safe no mistakes for us ! If not the right hotels then it's the passenger's fault. Usually like this passengers will hold back for bragging that he or she is right and point finger at taxi drivers !
