When train services are disrupted like what happened last Thursday, taxis become the most sought after alternative public transport service. When this sudden need for them occurs at the same time, great difficulties will be experienced by the general public in trying to secure its services. There will be long queues of anxious commuters everywhere, all waiting to catch a cab at the same time, and this inevitably give rise to anger and frustrations when vacant taxis don't seem to exist and the rest are either fully occupied or showing 'On Call' signs. Its times like this when taxi drivers work overtime to earn extra income by ferrying commuters non-stop. This type of unforeseen disruptions are extremely rare.
Of course, we Taxi Drivers regret such train breakdowns and disruptions which can be chaotic and cause great difficulties and hardship to commuters but it has also ironically benefited us in terms of an increase in our income through a greater demand for taxis.
