Ninja Cabbie

Heard the news on Ch 8 on the usual cab culture in Singapore ... When you need a cab !! most probably you wont get one !! Reports was saying 22,000 cabbie disappeared from the face of the earth some time before 5 pm so as to earn the extra $2 peak charges ... News shown a taxi stand at Wisma around 4:45 pm ... and when the magical time reaches ... they trickles in ... the reporter reports

And around 7+ pm ... another shot shows people waiting for cab around Raffles Place ... well ... no cab ! but 7+ pm is peak hour worrr ... but no ! Ninja waiting people to call cab ! so $4+$2+$2.50 ... you need to pay $8.50 even when the cab has not started moving ....

Reporter even went to interview some tourists ... family from Indonesia ... which they claim was waiting for cab for around 1 hour ...

Culture abit hard to change lah ................
