CDG (Comfort Delgro) and SMRT waive their taxi rental in accordance with Circuit Breaker (CB) till 1st June. Transcab however has (allegedly) sent its drivers SMS stating reduced rental to begin from 6th May. How to afford rental then? Why can't they follow suit and wait till after CB to reinstate rentals.

ComfortDelGro has announced that it is actually in talks to form a "strategic alliance" with Uber. Nothing is affirmative yet but if given the green light, commuters will be able to book their taxis through the Uber app. If you cannot beat them, join them? Does it work like that?

Balestier Bak kut teh (Kian Lian) is asking for public's help in identifying 4 drunk men who stormed into its shop and caused a scene on Saturday morning. They threw cutlery at the staff, smashed the steamer and broke bowls even though the staff did not provoke them in any way. They fled in a Comfort Delgro cab.

Our reader complained about being charged 30 cents extra for paying with DBS PayLah for a Comfort Delgro ride. "If the $0.30 goes to the driver I'm still ok. However it's being kept by CDG and how come Uber and Grab don't charge you extra for using credit card but CDG has to?"

An accident between a car and a Comfort Delgro cab happened at Toh Guan Road yesterday, leaving 4 injured but sent to hospitals in a conscious state. Police investigations are ongoing.

According to a survey by UK-based car dealer Carspring, taxi fares in Singapore are actually the 20th cheapest in the world. The survey supposedly took into account many factors such as the cost to hail a taxi, to travel from city centre to the airport, and cost per km. Do you think it's accurate? If it's really that cheap we wouldn't have to tahan train delays everyday.

Our reader alerted us to an accident along Braddell flyover towards Tampines involving a Comfort Delgro taxi and a Nissan cabstar lorry. The lorry was reportedly trying to change lanes but did not see the approaching taxi. The collision had such a big impact the lorry actually flipped. Hope it wasn't too serious! #GetWellSoon

A Facebook user posted her touching account of a taxi driver who forgave her for losing her wallet and trusted her to pay him back through bank transfer. She was rushing to the airport when she realised she forgot to bring her wallet. She owned up to the driver who surprisingly gave her a smile and agreed with the bank transfer which she could only do after she lands at her destination. He even helped her with her bags and asked if she needed money. Kudos to kind and magnanimous taxi uncle! Don't think we see many of such people around!

CDG sent out messages to all their cabbies as shown. Even provide a faster channel to lodge LTA complaints. Or...maybe they know their cabbies consist of those who are weak in English and cannot even file a proper complaint on their own. Privates cars, need not necessary be PHV with decals that goes in to pick passengers. Many other private cars, some plainly hitching riders along the route they are travelling, or simply goes in to pick father mother relatives or friends.

But what got me really pissed off then and even now is the fact conglomerate Comfort DelGro had the audacity to send its lawyers, namely United Legal Alliance at first to try and pressure me into accepting only $10k for the death of my father as he was deemed old and in their opinion, did not have long to live anyway. The same occurred to a friend whose mother was the unfortunate victim in the Hep C negligent case of SGH. He accepted the $10k 'compensation' as he had no money to take on MOH and was afraid the case will end up like Dr Ting vs MINDEF where money is used and rubber stamped by the PAP appointed Judiciary to delay proceedings. SGH had told him that his mother who is a kidney patient, has a very low quality of life and is thus not worth much in the Ministry's opinion.
