At last Fare Hikes apply to all taxis on January 3rd 2012, except for the Prime fleet who have yet to make a decision. Anyway, I have been making private surveys from my passengers after a week of adjusted fares if they have previously been on board Comfort Taxis and from results that I have gathered, I conclude that the Fare Hikes are not ridiculous nor causing great alarms and I feel that commuters are not likely to make any huge complaints, and rides on all taxis will be accepted quietly and once again back to normalcy.
Year 2012 will usher in a new kind of taxi service, this time on "water". There will only be two routes, one starting from Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel (near Zouk) to Marina Barrage and the other from Rivergate, start near Riverview Hotel ending at the Barrage. There will be about 13 stops on both routes with intervals of between 10 to 15 minutes and fares will most likely be from $3.00 to $4.00 at most. This will be an interesting and exciting form of transportation in the near future.
Presently there are 2 other waterway services but they are mainly for sight seeing trips for tourists being provided by Singapore River Cruise and the Duck and Hippo companies.
Second exciting news is about having another new radio station, the FM92.0 which will only cater to Women and Family to start off late next year. This new one will bring all together a total of 19 Radio Stations in Singapore. These two new implementations are Christmas Gifts for citizens of Singapore. Cheers!
