Has anyone tried dialing for a Comfort Cab lately? Perhaps a little
recap might help…
"From 1st March 2008, under the new LTA's regulation, taxis can now
pick and alight passengers at taxi stands and bulidings with private
driveway in the CBD. The regulated hours are from 7am to 10 pm,
Mondays to Saturdays."
Noticed anything wrong with the above message? I almost flipped when I
heard it for the first time.
Firstly, "…under the new LTA's regulation…" Is there a NEW LTA? I
think they meant "the LTA's new regulation…"
The second error was so blatant I'm wondering why they still choose
not to amend it.
"…taxis can now pick and alight passengers at taxi stands and
bulidings with private driveway in the CBD…" Erm…you mean in the past
taxis were NOT allowed to pick and alight passengers at taxi stands
and buildings with private driveways???? And does that statement also
imply that traditionally, taxis were not allowed to pick up fares in
CBD? It sure sounded like it. I'm no language expert but this is how I
would phrase it,
"From 1st March 2008, under the LTA's new regulation, taxis within the
CBD may ONLY pick and alight passengers at taxi stands and bulidings
with private driveways. The regulated hours are from 7am to 10 pm,
Mondays to Saturdays."
Doesn't this sound more appropriate? Seriously, I think ComfortDelgro
should do something about the message…it's embarrassing.
