Taxi Driver's hand got squashed by his side windows

I turned around and got shocked! A hand got squashed! I think I might have distracted Momo who was driving and another friend in the car.



Then we realised it was just the taxi driver and his sense of humour!
He saw my shocked face and smiled. When I took out my camera, he posed for me by putting his hand on the screen. LOL!



This guy is funny! He even plastered his whole taxi with the national flag!

TouchScreen on Taxis..

I happened to board a cab that has more new stuff to entertain.



They now have touch screen panels on the headrest and you can entertain yourself while taking a cab.

Human Queue for Taxis are back...

17 December 2007 was the day taxi fares raised between 10-49% in Singapore. People started to avoid taking taxis and taxis were abundant. There were queues of empty taxis waiting in line at all the taxi stands.



Well, I guess the locals have gone back to their old habits and have reverted to taking taxis again. Just look at the queue as seen yesterday at the IT Show.

Long Taxi Queue, but no one's boarding the cabs.

Just a few weeks ago, the taxi companies in Singapore raised their fares. Depending on where and when you take it, you might be paying up to 49% more. Whatever 'justification' the taxi operators are giving, many people don't buy it. I think the passengers are retaliating by taking less trips.

This photo is taken a few days ago. Many people have realized that it is now much easier to hail cabs. Taxi are lining up and there does not seem to be people taking it. Previously, it was the opposite. Long queues of people waiting, but no cabs.



What's your wish for the new year? Cheaper public transport fares? ;-)
