Most of the people around me knows that I drive to work everyday. Occasionally I will become a generic commuter just like anyone taking public transport like Buses, MRT or Taxi. Well today Friday the 17th, I am a generic commuter because Eric needs the car in the afternoon to run errands + send Uncle to hospital for his daily radio therapy session.
As usual I woke up the same time & felt its darker then usual mornings. Then while I go through the motion of preparing to go to work... IT POURS!!!!
Great!!! It has not been raining during the morning for many days & of all days it rains TODAY!
Well I stood there by the road looking pathetic & desperately to flag down a cab but to no avail :(. Worst of all I am suppose to pick Keryn & I really felt bad of me being so jinx.
Both of us tried to call for a taxi & when it rains either the taxis will all go on hiding or there are really there are too many people calling for it.
Lines were engage & we decided to go back home. Pointless staying in the cold wet raining. Login back @ home & will head to office later. Place on my Yahoo status "WFH till I can get a cab to work"
The best of everything was when Keryn asked me to call for a cab, I asked back.. "What's number huh?!?!?!" I have not been calling those numbers since 2004!
Well now I know:-
Comfort Taxis : 6 552 1111
SMRT Taxis : 6 555 8888
City Cab : 6 552 2222
Silver Cab : 6 363 6888
Smart Cab : 6 485 7777
Transcab : 6 555 3333
Maxi Cab / Limo : 6 452 0220

Shame, shame. I have those numbers in my cellphone all the time.
tsk tsk... I seldom call for taxi lah!
I seldom call for cab too. However every time when I call for one, they will never return my call confirming my location. In the end, I ended up lost. I don’t know what the reason is until today.
Ah boy, come to Singapore more often & you will not required a cab to bring you to the destination you wish to go ;)
Yes, I am aware that Singapore has a reliable domestic transport infrastructure. I rely on MRT & bus services nowadays. What's the use of the cabbies if they are not required?
Cabbies are for good use during raining morning days!
What if it is a sunny day all day? I shouldn't be catching them on the road, unfortunately, I still see them on the road when the sunshine is so bright. Can you please explain further, Layzze Wong?
Oh sure if it is a sunny day, taxi are every where. Getting through to the operator takes no less than a min! However when it comes to rainy working morning.. that is where all the taxi went missing!!!!
