Originally posted by bowah:Wrong, the objectives is remove the age limit and replacing the old drivers,
During my general meeting with NTA, LTA, WDA, EDB and many other govt institution and of cos, taxi companies CEOs, the govt produced a trend of dwindling and aging taxi driving in our ever increasing population.
If age is to remain at 30years to qualify to drive taxi, and that only Singaporean can drive, in 10 years times, we will see taxis driver retired more and more, with no youngs taking up taxi driving, it will be a huge problem for the govt, as taxis is an essential transport as it is classified as Public Transport.
Therefore, the decision to invest in Grab and Uber by our Govt is critical to bring back a corhort of young drivers who prefer pte car than driving a taxis, and as young as 21 or 23yo, you can drive, that will make up for the shortage, as many, by the time they reach 30yo, might have find another stable job.
So, it is not so simple as you think, you need deep thinking and a holistic approach to understand why UG is allow to do almost whatever they like, why they allow so young driver, why got so many new rental cars at low prices…why still got incentives, there are reason for everything, not just by what you see at face value.
...shhhh…please keep all these to yourself. thanks
U go meeting for fark? Nothing changes.
Might as well go queue ap better. Better than jiak liao bee.
You actually believe he go meeting ar? lol.
Normal taxi still back and insured by taxi coy, but justgrab is different. Just look at their tnc indicate clearly they are not transportation co.

THE COMPANY IS A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND THE COMPANY IS NOT A TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER. IT IS UP TO THE THIRD PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS TO OFFER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO YOU AND IT IS UP TO YOU TO ACCEPT SUCH TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. THE SERVICE OF THE COMPANY IS TO LINK YOU WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS, BUT DOES NOT NOR IS IT INTENDED TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OR ANY ACT THAT CAN BE CONSTRUED IN ANY WAY AS AN ACT OF A TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER. THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE FOR THE ACTS AND/OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTY TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER AND/OR ANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU.
By using the Service, you expressly represent and warrant that you are legally entitled to accept and agree to the Terms of Use and that you are at least eighteen (18) years old. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Service is not available to persons under the age of eighteen (18) or such persons that are forbidden for any reason whatsoever to enter into a contractual relationship.
Do you know that if you are under 18yo, you cannot use the App?
So, grab protects themselves legally. If the insurance does not make payment, you cannot sue them. You have to sue the driver or other third parties.
Of course, in your haste to download the App, you simply ticked the "Agree" button without reading the terms and conditions. Tio bo?

I attend these tripartite committee meeting and contribute to it blue print and road map for future taxis transportation. But sometime, bo eng to go, cause stuck at Ching Ming… sin ming road..knn
For all I can say is that,
1. the future of taxi population will shrink
2. living peoples like you and me and our family will tap on technology to help ourselves
3. driverless will only exist when the whole road is driverless, it cannot work with driverless and human driver mix, otherwise, human will knock them
4. Fix pricing base on dynamic will be the future fare.
All your points, uneducated person like me oso know wat. Simi meeting.

but not much TD also wan to take esp if it is inside CBD during peak hours.
someone say that Justgrab quoted S$15 at 6.30pm from 313 somerset to Jurong point.
but no taxi/cars taking.... if you are the taxi driver nearby 313, will you take this just grab call to jurong point for S15? starting fare in CBD that time is already 3.70x1.25 =S5+ $3 surcharge + 3.30(booking fee if have)... still have to pay 10% commission to Grab?

Surge pricing gets mixed reaction https://ebx.sh/2nifCPc
Commuters cheer dynamic pricing, but some cabbies unhappy http://str.sg/48YD
too early for conclusions or even speculations
need time for riders and drivers to work out the best options for themselves
and also for Grab to monitor for a substantial period of time and then decide whether to tweak the system
riders and drivers should also actively offer feedback
raining now
lets test the power of justgrab
w00t~
justgrab $13
grabtaxi $9-12
grabshare $10.50
grabcar $15
Later they may introduce upgraded version auto assigned to Grabcar/grabtaxi if driver keeps dunwan take booking?
cabbies still have the choice to use the app or not right
if use more and take more bookings got incentive
if no use also no penalty
