Alamak, this is old rule lah...
Since January 2013, the rule where taxis cannot stop along roads in CBD where buses ply and can only stop at designated stands has been rescinded. Taxis can now stop anywhere in the CBD except for the usual prohibited areas such as double yellow zig zag lines, within 9m of bus stops and along bus lanes during the bus lanes operation hours etc...

Q1 So is it normal car can stop and pickup/drop off near traffic lights?
Q2 You all never experience when you waiting for traffic lights to turn green, pax suddenly just want to drop off, or a new pax just open door and come up? Is it an offence or not?
It is not I purposely stop there to drop off or take pax.
Seems like nobody knows the answer here. I know that if not caught do anything is ok, but why not just share your experience is it offence or not, so many cams nowadays. What you do when Q2 happens, tell pax cannot drop off? Reject new pax ask him go down?

Happened twice...
1st CCK Loop.
Pax to lot 1. Was waiting for pedestrian to clear the zebra crossing when pax say, I stop here, I said cannot..zebra crossing cannot let down pax huan...she ignore and threw the fare at me without collecting the changes..few weeks down the rd..got a summon from LTA (CCTV) for dropping pax at zebra crossing, this is despite the fact that pedestrians have not finished crossing and my pax is already long gone.
2nd Upper Serangoon Rd, Slip rd to nex, traffic controlled junction.
Waiting for light to turn green..pax got up...2 week later..letter come..again CCTV...
You say ley...can drop off/ pickup?
Fine is $130 with 3 pts for both offence.
One of the place, very popular with pax trying to board when you stop for traffic light is orchard rd bus stop outside Plaza Sing..LTA everyday there take pic..when you stop for lights, the pax will run up to ur cab,,depite not being in the bus lane..the lta will ready his cam, taking your pic as soon as you allow the pax to board.
But hor..I see one very rich cabby from CDG...jin satki...he drop pax in front of the LTA guy and dun even blink...the LTA guy snap snap snap...the pax also slowly slowly get down....
Thanks for your answer fifufu. This is what I was asking. I do know cannot stop near traffic light, but it is the passenger themselve want to come up or drop off and cause trouble.
fifufu so you pay total $130 for both offence? Got explain to them the situation see if can reduce offence?
How to deal with those people who insist to drop down next time?
Those pax auto got up into the cab while you waiting for traffic, how you reject them or prevent that from happening again?
If normal car drop/pickup people at traffic light also offence right? Or the LTA officer close one eye?
Immediately after traffic light/junction/zebra crossing is it still cannot pickup/drop off?
Anyone know how near/far distance cannot/can drop off/pickup at traffic light/junction/zebra crossing?
Thanks
If just after traffic light (example like the image black car area) can stop to pickup/drop off or not?
just lock to door and tell the passenger to drop of at taxi stand. if the passenger refuse to do it just stop in the middle of the road at traffic light junction. passenger complain taxi company know what to do. or else have a cam point at back and have voice recording on in case things happend show it taxi compnay or appeal to LTA.
Sometimes drive night got many advantages
Can do anything no need worry tis n tat
Ppl miss expressway exit also can stop n reverse back one lol
Junction is it within 6 meters cannot stop to pickup/dropoff? More than 6 meters can.
bus stop 9 meter but many just pick/drop there
Everything wana follow by book better don't drive la

So hardworking everytime people drop off you will lock all doors? Then people wave/you at taxi stand then you unlock doors? Seems waste of effort to lock/unlock doors 10 to 20 times a day.
Sure got times you forget to unlock then pax wanting to come up keep pulling the door handle cannot open, then you remember to unlock.
