The above inlcude weekend really a big impact to most people.
Many ppl complaining on st forum that weekend no taxi in the last few weeks.
So now, the solution is raise fare to encourage more drivers to drive.
Raise COE to discourage car ownership. Raise ERP to discourage driving.
Raise salary to motivate ministers.

In Economics class, i learnt that increasing wages usually ends up in unemployment. But i see it happening to our dear MIW all the time and their employment seems to be on the rise, as do their salary package.

WHY AH WHY!?

One question that I always ask. Why taxis are included in COE bids? Is it not putting more pressure for private car owners as the supply is already limited?
