Agree with F1, the large pricing gap fom the Msia side is for you to makan more commission, they in Msia cost lower than us mah, so they give you a good price, you can mark up and earn the rest!
Limo want to do $30 or $35 not because they want to do, they got no jobs and are squeezed by the big boys like Imperial, Royal, C & P. they must be able to tahan lah for long lah... After some time, hey will know that they not making much from those rates lah...
As for me, $35 I do, if St Regis to ION or Orchard Mandarin, $35 can do mah! Cannot meh? Less than 10 mins job, can... Y not???
Lor maybe MBS to Swissotel or Suntec, $35 can also leh... Still good leh...
CDG price was $50 even for these cases. $45 is also doable by walkie members. But less than that only thru CDG $18+meter. If u like the pickup and drop off point, go for it. Thats the beauty here.
Pte limo bo siang. No MDT, so if shaking legs, might as well spend 10mins on someone who can only pay $35 to be blown from point A to B inside CBD.
But still I felt this $35 service is an insult to me. I wont bother. I rather go hungry, because I get very upset doing such jobs. Its the reason why I switched to maxi from a taxi.

Yes... my smallest or lowest ang pow is....
other than my regulars (old rate), contracted for 1 year ending Sept 2012.
Bro,
For me 35cents I do is to help my fellow Colleauges, they call me and say near near 35 cents can Bo? I ying siu them so they can dong $15 or $10.
If direct clients, no way. Will quote 35 or 30cents, the consumer want our car, our service, 50 cents, dun wan nvm, join the taxi queue or call cab...
If you get a job from hotel to airport, must pay GST, the amount comes to the same also mah...
If Tuas to town at 35cents, I will ask my fellow colleauge go fly kite!
