SMRT Taxis first to introduce 4th gen Prius Hybrid taxis
-
1. SMRT Taxis, Singapore’s largest operator of eco-friendly taxis, is looking to gradually replace more diesel-powered taxis with green vehicles. In August 2016, commuters can look forward to greener, safer and more comfortable rides with SMRT Taxis as it rolls out the new fourth-generation Toyota Prius Hybrid for passenger service.
2. Apart from better fuel efficiency and even lower carbon footprint, the new Prius will offer commuters a safer and more comfortable ride. The new vehicle comes with an upgraded suspension for a smoother ride, roomier passenger cabin for a more comfortable journey, as well as improved sound absorbing features for a quieter ride.
3. Mr. Benny Lim, Managing Director of SMRT Roads said: “As a public transport operator, one of our goals is to provide safe and reliable rides in the most energy and fuel efficient way. We aim to make half our taxi fleet ‘green’ by the end of the year in our efforts to protect our environment through reducing our carbon footprint. We are happy to support the government’s on-going efforts to create a cleaner and greener living environment for all Singaporeans.”
4. SMRT Taxis introduced eco-friendly vehicles to its fleet in October 2013. It currently has a fleet of about 1,600 eco-friendly taxis, which makes up about 45% per cent of its over 3,500-strong fleet.
5. Mr. Yap Boon Chung Vincent, who has been driving an SMRT Prius taxi since the introduction of the vehicle to the fleet, said: “I look forward to serving passengers with the new fourth-generation Prius. I have always enjoyed the smooth ride that the current Prius model offers, as I spend a fair amount of time plying the roads daily. With the improved fuel efficiency of the latest model, drivers like me can really benefit from the petrol cost savings.”

Aiya, bosses all talk different one lah, but one thing for sure, all are cunning and ruthless one lah, if not, how to control, rules and be scared aka respected. You know successful pple is not because they are smart of workhard alone, more important is cunning, ruthless and kill whoever step on them, even family members also they kill inorder to succeed. So, same goes to taxi companies here, who are you, just a driver...use last finger also can kick you out liao. You can throw key with no reason, they can also ask you back the key for no reason, fair bo?? Fair.

We not worry about TDs changing to pte ridding, because the Pie will remain the same, 10 Tds change to pte ride, 10 less tds on the road, that is an equal sum game, What worry is PRs, youngsters, and any outsiders joining pte ride will ultimately and definitely make the Pie smaller.
