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.

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?

A netizen who was equally perplexed by the PM's talking points during the NDR highlighted actual issues which should have been raised at the event. He thinks politicians should not focus on the "rosy outlook" here because Singapore will no longer be a special location in the global economy if they adopt this narrow mindset.

Even Workers' Party's Gerald Giam responded to the recent spate of MRT breakdowns by questioning Minister Khaw Boon Wan if he thinks the media is still unfairly magnifying the problem.

A netizen suggested for Minister Khaw Boon Wan to stop appraising himself selectively and take responsibility for the lack of MRT reliability today. He warned that Singaporeans are patient but there is still a limit, and advised him to be there in hours of need, "not disappear and only reappear again when the war is over".

A netizen protested Grab's double standards in pricing and promotion prices for their rides and became even more angry when Grab's Facebook team blocked her messages from their Facebook.

Speaking off the cuff in his opening address at the 4th joint forum on infrastructure maintenance this morning, Transport Minister and Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Khaw Boon Wan launched a harsh criticism of the mainstream media for their coverage of the MRT system's frequent breakdowns since Hari Raya Puasa last month.

A netizen, Allie, shared her account of getting stranded during the recent MRT service disruption without any taxi or private hire vehicles willing to take her to her workplace in Joo Koon.

Our reader noticed delays on the Circle Line just after Minister Khaw Boon Wan celebrated 250 days of having no problems. "Sometimes we ask how come MRT so many problem he nv speak up? But maybe it's good that he's quiet? Otherwise once he speak up then surely some line, whichever line he mention, will have problem". Shhh!
