I was at Midview City today and saw this - Grab's office is full of ComfortDelGro taxi drivers wanting to switch sides!

A graduating student is troubled that she is dating a private hire driver who initially lied to her that his Vezel was a new car. "If I break up with him, people will view me as materialistic. But... I really don't want to go out and get dirty glances from people when we step out of a new car with a private hire decal?"

A reader sent in a picture of 2 brave men who helped to put out the fire at KPE tunnel today before the SCDF arrived. Kudos to Abdillah Alhabshee and Fuad Aziz for their quick response!

A Transcab taxi caught fire in the KPE tunnel towards TPE after ECP, leaving part of the tunnel closed. Thankfully, the SCDF managed to extinguish the fire and nobody was injured. Drivers are advised to avoid lane 4. Some were also told to abandon their motorbikes and exit the tunnel.

Our reader is disappointed that ComfortDelGro is considering an alliance with Uber as it would mean more surge pricing for standard taxis. She thinks ComfortDelGro should think of other ways to benefit drivers, not at the expense of its riders, and hopes the LTA can look into this matter.
