No queue... but where's the cab??

I've set a new record for myself today... was trying to get to work and unfortunately, me dad took the car today. Spent 45 minutes calling 5 different cab companies on the house phone and handphone simultaneously... and no cab...

There are like what?? 7 cab companies in singapore with their own fleets of thousands of cabs... and there's not a single cab who can take a call at my estate. Yet i see cabs of different colors and companies sporting the On Call sign as they drove by... what happened to my call??

Sigh....

no kidding?! 45mins??!!!

you tried calling comfort? they has a system that they will detect cabs near your location and auto assign jobs to them, they can't reject. but available to class A drivers [those who has a good record etc]. this is of cos IF you can get thru their HOTline and there are cabs ard ur area....

Yup. It is very difficult to get a cab in BP. Sigh...

I agree. It can be bad at peak hours. It's also true that Cabbies can be picky. They tend not to want to go to off-central places.
