Default CNA praise regime owned cab companies for latest tricks to confound and fool peasants

Transmodified from hxxp://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1245570/1/.html

PEASANT: Rich commuters in the Central Business District (CBD) and tourists are now finding it easier to hail a taxi after the rules formerly proposed
by an idiot scholar have been culled. Peasant taxi drivers are able to pick up and drop off passengers using common sense instead of selected hotspots.

Previously, some idiot arty-farty scholar proposed taxi drivers could only pick up or drop off passengers at taxi stands or along side roads during specific
periods in the CBD after copying this idea from Ang Mohs to meet their yearly WITS quota. Many peasants moaned that clever Asiatic taxi peasant drivers
are smarter than Ang Mohs, will use their common sense and usually stop on all roads at all times, with exception ferrying neh passengers. They rarely
end up in bus lanes in operation and selected roads such as High Street and Esplanade Drive unless they have unreasonable Neh passengers who insist
on stopping at crazy places to save a few rupees. However the latest ****up praised by the Mouthpiece is the relative ease to get a taxi for taxi serf
drivers are forced to ensure stay on the roads during the morning and evening peak periods between 7am and 11am and between 5pm and 11pm instead
of hiding in Geylang and wait for lucrative bookings. For another stupid scholar has proposed 70% of the taxis of each taxi company will have to chalk up
at least 250 kilometres in mileage a day. This works out to around eight to nine hours on the road per day, five days a week, more petrol wastage.
A simpler move is to reduce the booking fees that are largely pocketed by taxi cartels. As usual, taxi serf drivers are forced to show they are confident they
can meet this target by tampering the mileage meter. Astute peasants claimed the survey was conducted on Wednesday may also be due to the fact that
many rich merchants or tourists are recovering from their New Year Sex Orgies. When asked to comment on the effect of the new measures, the
National Taxi Cartel Association said 'they lan lan got no comments' to avoid offending Ruler Loong. The inept Land Transport Authority will leniently evaluate
each cartel operator's performance monthly and operators will no doubt cook their books to submit 'massaged' data to prove they have achieved the
standards after learning a trick or two from the Commie PRCs.

SINGAPORE: Commuters in the Central Business District (CBD) are now finding it easier to hail a taxi after the rules have been eased for taxi drivers

to pick up and drop off passengers. Previously, taxi drivers could only pick up or drop off passengers at taxi stands or along side roads during specific

periods in the CBD. Taxis can now stop on all roads at all times, with exceptions - those with bus lanes in operation and selected roads such as High Street

and Esplanade Drive. Another reason why it is now easier to get a taxi is that taxi companies must also ensure that 70 per cent of their fleet are on

the roads during the morning and evening peak periods between 7am and 11am and between 5pm and 11pm. Seventy per cent of the taxis of each

taxi company will have to chalk up at least 250 kilometres in mileage a day. This works out to around eight to nine hours on the road per day, five days

a week. Taxi drivers are confident they can meet this target by sharing the mileage with another driver or driving longer. Being able to get a taxi more

easily on Wednesday may also be due to the fact that many people have not yet returned from leave. When asked to comment on the effect of the

new measures, the National Taxi Association said it is too early to tell.

The Land Transport Authority will evaluate each operator's performance monthly.

Operators will have to submit data on whether they have achieved the standards.
