两年内向陆交局提出300多项建议
德士司机获颁"陆路交通之友奖"

（2010-04-01）

● 胡莉珊

两年内向陆路交通管理局提出300多项建议，

冯标山可以说是个很有想法的德士司机。他昨天受到当局肯定，获得首届"陆路交通之友奖"。

自掏腰包造福人群

这个现年67岁的银色德士（Silver
Cab）司机把当局的热线号码存在手机内，遇到他认为能加以改善之处就随时拨打。他也以拍摄照片的方式记录路上所见，并自掏腰包冲洗照片，再附上英文说
明，寄给陆交局。在成为德士司机的两年里，他为此花了不下1000元，为的是要造福其他陆路交通使用者。

冯标山的付出没有被忽略，好几
项建议都受当局认同。例如他在去年2月提议，在大巴窑2巷增设"港湾式"德士站，避免德士在原本已相当狭窄的马路停车载客，挡住其他车辆，造成交通阻塞。

另外，冯标山也建议在进入加冷--巴耶利�高速公路（KPE）隧道之前的道路上设立至少两个警示牌，以便发生突发状况或交通阻塞时，公路使用者可获得通知后绕行。

上述两项建议已被当局采纳，其中大巴窑2巷的德士站将在本月启用，后一项建议已经落实。

冯标山昨晚在陆交局于丽嘉登酒店举行的两年一度"陆路交通卓越奖"（LTA Excellence
Awards）颁奖仪式上，从陆交局主席林子山手中接过奖项。

颁奖仪式贵宾国务资政兼国家安全统筹部长贾古玛教授致词说，本地陆路交通未来须以公共交通为核心舞台，以应付尖峰时刻对交通的需求，政府将在这方面大量
投资，扩展地铁网络、增强巴士与地铁服务。

他也表示，除了满足本地需求外，新加坡在交通管理方面的优势将协助本地在智能、清洁与高效能
的交通科技上茁壮发展。贾古玛也赞许陆交局与大学、研究所及交通业界共同开发创新交通解决方案的动作。出席颁奖礼的也包括交通部长林双吉。

16企业及个人获奖

　　这是当局第二次颁发此类奖项，以表彰客户至上、注重环保、具创新精神以及在陆路交通的整体融合方面有优越表现的公司和个人。共有16个企业及个人获奖。

　　除了"陆路交通之友奖"（Friend of Land Transport），其他奖项有"最佳设计"、"最富革新精神交通业伙伴（科技）"、最有利生态环境的交通机构等共12个奖项。

　　这届卓越奖中的"最高荣誉特殊贡献奖"授给在2004年过世的林良玉。他曾经担任地铁局局长、新加坡地铁公司董事长、地铁公司副主席及顾问等职位，是为本地服务长达40年之久的地铁系统元勋之一。林良玉也是抗日英雄林谋盛的长子，他的儿子昨天代为领奖。

Comfort is NOT a taxi company that provides taxi services

Comfort is just a car rental company, much like Avis or Hertz. Think
about it. The business model has changed

Those taxi drivers going around in Comfort cab are not employees of
Comfort. They are mere hirers, just like you and I hiring or renting a
rental vehicle....

The only difference is that the fleet of cars owned by Comfort has
been licenced by LTA to pick up passengers for a fee

You and I can rent a car to pick up passenger but cannot collect a
fare, just give our friends a lift
Posted by: newwhore at Thu Mar 04 07:59:09 SGT 2010

The biggest culprits for our public transport woes are Comfort Delgro
which owns SBS and Comfort, and LTA. Both are totally incompetent
organisations, the latter coddling the former in the name of
shareholders' interests.

This has been a perennial problem

Years ago (say 20 years) before I owned a car, I need to use a few

increase my chance of getting one. Best if your phone is a speaker
phone with auto redial function

What Bugs Me

Posted on 28 Feb 2010

How can taxi fare for a journey to 3 places cost $43.80?

A STOMPer is appalled that the taxi fare for a journey from Clarke Quay to Chua Chu Kang to Boon Lay and lastly to Jurong West came up to $43.80.

In an email to STOMP today (Feb 28), the STOMPer says:

"A group of 4 of us took an SMRT cab from Clarke Quay to CCK Ave 3, Boon Lay and Jurong West St 81, and the fare was $43.80!

"We took it at 11.48pm. CBD area was $3, fare was $29.80 and midnight charge was $11.

"I can take a midnight cab from Jurong West St 81 to Changi and it only cost $40!

"This driver took 20 min to drive from CCK to Jurong area when it should have taken only 5 min.

"I've reported the case to SMRT. Wonder if they will really do anything about it at all.

"Please be warned."

"This driver took 20 min to drive from CCK to Jurong area when it should have taken only 5 min............... You are right, but the place to start must be from CCC lor.

why not possible? you first time take taxi? with all the surcharges, its reasonable...

Soulgirl said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

If you can't pay, don't take a cab. There is meter for you, else ask the driver to breakdown this cost anaylsis for you... Who want to cheat you lor ?

greenpea said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

i agree w/ 17digital & zanville. I live in Jurong and often drove to my frd's place at cck. The journey is ard 15-20min and i was driving ard 100-120km/h.

5min is from taman jurong to jurong west/Jurong Point more likely....

Stomper, i fully believe the cost is correct for dropping @ 3 places as I've also took cab b4, plus there's 4 of u to split the fare, barely $10 odd, what's the big deal? If you find it too exp, maybe u all shld've took Nightrider bus.

stomp_rat said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

the metre is there and a standard way of measurement...or maybe should inspect the tyre?

Lvinstomp said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

To Stomper Letsteytobehappy...are you a retard or what? You sound like you never had a job in your life before. It's the cab driver's job to ferry customers. Working after midnight doesn't mean he can have special previledges. We have all worked till in the wee hours of the morning before..so..why don't you pity us and pay us extra for that? After all, we are all contributing to society by working. I bet if you were in the Stomper's shoes...you will also complain. Jacka**!

Letstrytobehappy said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

It's midnight, the journey runs from Clarke Quay to CCK, Boon Lay and then Jurong West for a mere $43.80? You had the service of an air-con cab plus driver in the middle of the night to fetch you around and still complain? How many people would like to work at that hour for so little, after deducting rental of the cab and petrol? TSK, TSK (shakes head)

17digital said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

i like this. Unless he is speeding at 150km/h. Jurong to Clementi already 5 mins, you sure take only 5 mins to CCK?

so stomper tell me wat did u take that can reach CCK to Jurong area in 5 min? teleport?

panclanrider said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

Did you take a SMRT Limousine & Large Taxi like the exclusive and luxurious Chrysler ot the spacious and comfortable SPACE MPV?

rockstar12345 said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

clarke quay to boon lay....and stopping at 4 places after midnight, that's a lot of places. don't be too shocked by the fare :)

zanville said on 28 Feb, 2010 Report as offensive

Firstly, you are obviously retarded.

"I can take a midnight cab from Jurong West St 81 to Changi and it only cost $40!
Take highway all the way of course can la.

"This driver took 20 min to drive from CCK to Jurong area when it should have taken only 5 min.
Unless he is speeding at 150km/h. Jurong to Clementi already 5 mins, you sure take only 5 mins to CCK?

You take the cab for so long, all the turns into carparks to drop off people, the traffic waiting time and distance no need to take into account? Unless the uncle keep taking detour then you have something to complain about. You want tua kang take taxi then come complain. Lol. CANNOT AFFORD TAKE TAXI DON'T TAKE.

乘客投诉德士未必都有理
（2009-12-04）

冯荣川
　　我是一名德士司机，在这一行已9年，9年来，尽量做好本份的工作，不超速，也帮客人拿东西，老人家也少收钱，尽量做到不求有功，但求无过，连续9年没有被人投诉过。最近半年却不幸一再被投诉。今年10月的某一天下午6点10分，在靠近布业中心的德士站，由于没有乘客，我下车开后盖清洁德士后面，走来一个新加坡人，一个中国女孩，他们匆匆展开一张信说，要去Upper
Thomson，但又接着说要去Kampong Java。我的换班时间是定在6点30分左右。

　　我就告诉他，我不顺路，时间上来不及了，我帮你叫一辆德士。德士也很快就叫到了，德士来了以后，他脸色一变，说我"遇到人"了（意思大概是说：我遇到克星了），他要投诉我，用手机拍下了车牌号码。上了德士以后，他还开窗向我比手势，意思是说要置我于死地，我没想到我已经帮他叫车了，他还不领情，只好一笑置之。

　　过了几天陆路交通管理局（LTA）叫我去解释，我把详细情形讲出来，换回来的是罚款300元和两个星期"停牌"不能驾德士。

　　麻烦公司写信要求，不得要领，我想请问有关部门，如果一些好事者对我们德士司机的无理投诉，都全面采信的话，我们德士司机生活岂不是很难过。如今，路上的德士多如过江之鲫，德士司机讨生活很不容易，如果司机不是有急事或即将换班，那有不载客的道理。

　　我不久前也曾被乘客投诉拒载，但当时是因为人有三急，我赶着去上厕所，我当时也照实向陆交局官员解释了，他们也接受了。但这次他们不接受，是否因为上次的"案底"，影响了他们对我的印象。

　　我太太已有两三年没上班了（近50岁的人被裁后是很难找工作的），因此，两星期没驾车对我影响很大，我也因此失眠了好几个晚上。

Japanese national lodges successful appeal against six—week jail sentence

Japanese national lodges successful appeal against six—week jail sentence
Channel NewsAsia - Friday, November 27

Japanese national lodges successful appeal against six—week jail sentence

SINGAPORE: A Japanese national escaped imprisonment yesterday after he lodged a successful appeal against his six—week jail sentence for assaulting a taxi driver.

Mr Taniguchi Mitsuru left the cab without paying the fare on September 2 last year, after the driver failed to find the passenger’s destination despite driving round the Punggol Estate repeatedly.

Cabbie Lim Hing Soon then pursued Mr Mitsuru to collect his taxi fare but the intoxicated passenger pushed the driver.

Mr Lim, 65, then returned to his taxi to retrieve an umbrella, but fell to the ground during the tussle. The scuffle for control of the umbrella continued and the cabbie suffered a cut on his forehead.

Lawyer Tan Lee Cheng argued that Mr Mitsuru’s actions were in "self—defence", and the case was not one where the passenger laid "direct blows" or "went for the jugular". "The minute he (Mr Mitsuru) saw the taxi driver bleed, he stopped," added Ms Tan.

But deputy public prosecutor Hay Hung Chun argued that a custodial sentence was still appropriate — the passenger could have paid part of the fare and then lodge a complaint with the taxi company instead.

Justice Lee Seiu Kin noted that Mr Mitsuru, 47, feared the cabbie would use the umbrella to hit him. The High Court Judge substituted the Japanese’s jail sentence with a $2,000 fine.

But Justice Lee drew a distinction between this assault and another against a public bus driver.
In that case, Balbir Singh, 45, kicked a bus driver on his leg after being reminded the second time to pay his fare. In appealing against the one—month jail sentence, lawyer S K Kumar argued yesterday that Mr Singh’s assault on the bus was committed in "a spur of the moment" and that he was "in a hurry".

But Justice Lee rebutted the lawyer’s argument, "Half of the people taking bus are in a hurry too."

The High Court Judge noted that the bus driver was merely doing his job when he asked Mr Singh to pay his fare.

"What business does your client have in going around kicking them? He was unreasonable and obnoxious," said Justice Lee, who also noted that the safety of other bus passengers or road users might be at stake.

The High Court Judge said a deterrent message needed to be sent out that attacks against bus drivers would not be tolerated. "If you try this kind of stunt and endanger other people on the bus, we will put you in," added Justice Lee. — TODAY/vm

Jap national who assaulted cabby spared jail term, but not local who kicked bus driver
November 27, 2009 by admin

Written by Our Correspondent

Two similar cases of appeal was heard by High Court judge Justice Lee Seiu Kin yesterday with two different results.

While a Japanese national was successful in his appeal against imprisonment for assaulting a cabby, a Singaporean was jailed a month for kicking a bus driver.

Mr Taniguchi Mitsuru, 47, a Japanese construction site manager was initially sentenced to six weeks’ jail in September for using an umbrella to assault a cabby on the forehead and thigh.
He had hailed Mr Lim Hing Soon’s cab along Orchard Road in the early hours of Sept 2 last year after a night out with a friend at a pub. Mr Lim then pursued Mr Mitsuru to collect his taxi fare but was pushed to the ground by Mr Mitsuru.

When Mr Lim returned to his taxi to retrieve an umbrella, Mr Taniguchi tried to grab it away from him and both fell to the ground during the tussle.

The scuffle for control of the umbrella continued which resulted in the victim having a 7cm-long cut over the forehead, a left upper thigh wound and chest pain.

Mr Mitsuru’s lawyer argued that his actions were in “self-defence” and he stopped when he saw the taxi driver bleed. Justice Lee substituted Mr Mitsuru’s jail sentence with a $2,000 fine.

In another case, Singaporean Balbir Singh was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment for kicking a bus driver on his leg after being reminded the second time to pay his fare.

Justice Lee dismissed his appeal on the grounds that the act was committed in “a spur of the moment” and that he was “in a hurry”.

He said a deterrent message needed to be sent out that attacks against bus drivers would not be tolerated.

Why not limit a taxi's speed

LOL... probably taxi drivers watch too much racing movies like Initial
D and Tokyo Drift. they may drive reasonably fast, but always with
their passengers' safety as their top priority. they need to be
responsible for their passengers' lives and safety, throughout the
entire ride.

There are speed limits on our road, so we don't need more rules and
regulations to govern our lives. And I certainly don't want taxis to
be road hogging.

Anyway, I am a pedestrian. I find private car owners to be just as
guilty, if not more, of speeding than taxis drivers. They often drive
way too fast and recklessly, posing a serious danger to pedestrians.
The public should also not be put at risk from these private car
owners breaking the law.

Why can't private car be fitted with speed limiters? Limiting their
speed would improve safety and fuel economy and improve maintenance
costs.

The fact is that no one should be speeding and not only taxi drivers.

Updated 10:56 AM December 02, 2009

These are some of the taxi drivers that thinks they are the "tai
kor"(big brother) on the road. They drives very aggresive and thinks
other should give way to them.

Some even hogs the right most expressways lane. Even they are driving
within the speed limit, the right lanes are meant for overtaking.

GTUpdated 10:50 AM December 02, 2009

I fully agree. I have quite frequently noticed taxis weaving in and
out of traffic at high speeds and driving very recklessly. I
personally believe that these speed limiters would reduce the risk
caused by high-speed taxis and make our road safer for all.

Seriously, your Mac smell will linger in the car over some time if he
didnt wind down the window. You should be more considerate. He already
got the window up.

Come on, everyone needs to earn a living. Give that man a break. He
just want to get you to your destination fast and to prevent the smell
from lingering in the cab longer.

You're simply wasting your time trying to get an apology from him.
That passerby also got nothing better to do by acting hero ?

Whats more? You didn't get his plate number and driver's name. How are
you going to lodge a complain ?

And if you want to put visitors into view, have you even considered
how the visitor will feel if they smell the stale smell from your mac
dinner in his car ? How will they think ?

Before you want to lodge a complain, please think about it.. Did you
tie up your dinner to prevent the smell from diffusing into the cab?
You're one irresponsible consumer.

note down the taxi driver's name on his dashboard and his carplate
number, and then report him to the police or his taxi company for his
errant and dangerous behaviour. he can run, but he can't hide. don't
argue with him, especially if you are a woman and have little kids
with you. why endanger yourself and your kids in the first place? some
food for thought.

这不叫罚。因为病人也好，酒鬼也好，只要在德士车上吐，就已经给德士师傅带来了极大的不便，接下来他不但不能载客，反而还要花上好几个钟头来清洗车里的呕吐物，还要让车里的臭酸味慢慢消除，这段时间的损失谁要来负责。当然是那个吐在车上的人啦！
你以为是病人就大事啊？人家可是靠德士来谋生的，你不补几十元给人家，还期望人家因为你是病人而不跟你计较，那太自私了吧！

当然合理啦 , 你吐了就下车睡觉 ,司机还要洗, 抹, 吹干, 免得留下臭味结果是没有收入, 还多一份工. 附加费要$70/- 才够.
如果生病, 记得拿纸袋, 加上 , 上车时先'知会' 德士司机. 最后劝你一句 , 不会喝, 不要 '假利害' .
我就是一个身体弱,常常会在德士上呕吐的人

我倒觉得很合理。把别人赚钱的工具弄脏，补钱是应该的。而且清除后可能还有异味。

Driven round the bend by cabby with poor English

LAST Thursday at about 9pm, my husband, who is from England, hailed a cab from our home in Segar Road, off Bukit Panjang Ring Road, to pick me up from the renal centre near Chinese Gardens.

He told the driver in clear English to take him to Chinese Gardens and the cabby said 'Chinee Gardens'. My husband corrected him umpteen times but the cabby kept repeating 'Chinee Gardens'. When the route he took was not familiar, my husband told him he had taken the wrong way, but the cabby insisted he was right.

They ended up at Changi Gardens. My husband was frustrated and upset, paid the cabby his fare and took another cab home as he could not reach the renal centre in time. Needless to say, our night did not end well.

Singapore has emphasised the need for workers to speak Mandarin so they can communicate with Mandarin-speaking clients. How about training people to speak clear and precise English so they can communicate with English-speaking clients, who make up the majority?

This is not our only experience with non-English-speaking people in the service industry. A female server at Haagen-Dazs in Holland Village once asked us to speak Mandarin. I have no problems if people want to speak Mandarin, but please do not behave as if other languages do not matter.

Taxi-drivers are self-employed, not salary-paid staff by any employer and therefore, they don't owe any commuter a living. If talking about commuter's rights, taxi-drivers also have their own rights as a self-boss, self-employed person. They can choose commuters and reject those who they think are suspicious and may rob them. Or reject those which are not along the same way as they are changing shifts or going home, so as to cut time loss and petrol cost. Blame the system of taxi-operators who does not want to hire drivers as salary staff. And pass the bulk of cost to the taxi-driver who in return, has the right to choose and pick commuters who directly affect their cost computation. By the way, I am not a taxi-driver.

If taxis queue at a taxi stand, it is also a clear indication the drivers are waiting for a fare. Don't argue with picky drivers. Just note down the details like date, location, taxi license no, time etc, and send these to LTA/Taxi Co.

The moment a taxi which you have flagged down stops, open the rear door, and get in. Thereafter, you tell him where your destination is. If a taxi driver is on its way to a phone booking, is changing shift or is going for a break ( meals/toilet etc) he would normally just whiz you by. The fact that he stops is incontrovertible proof he wants a fare. I always got into the taxi first, and then told him my destination. That way, he could not justify not taking me to my destination. Hope this helps. Alternately, video the entire episode and send the details of the driver, with the clip to LTA/Taxi Co for further action.

被指企图抢劫中国富家子无罪释放

（2009-10-28　4.30pm）

（新加坡讯）上星期被控企图抢劫德士司机，导致德士冲上路堤再撞店屋前柱子的中国男子，今天已获判无罪释放。

　　联合晚报报道，这名27岁的男子周孙福，来自中国福建省，据他的女友吴丽君透露，他在中国是房地产公司老板，而他的母亲是经营酒店业务，家境富裕。

　　本案在今天提堂时，控方要求法庭撤销被告的罪状，因此，法庭即刻宣判被告无罪释放。

　　今早，吴丽君与周孙福的母亲陈女士以及好几个亲友，都到法庭旁听，他们在知道周孙福获无罪释放后，深感庆幸。女友吴丽君说，这证明周孙福是清白的，而他们对发生这样的事深感不解，因此将与律师商量该如何处理此事。

　　已撤销的控状指出，被告是在19日凌晨5时25分，于沈氏道靠近芽笼29巷的路段，在一辆行驶中的德士内，企图抢劫德士司机李启俊（61岁）的财物。

　　案件发生时，德士冲上路堤的巴士站，再撞上店屋前的柱子，德士毁坏，以致李启俊和被告困在德士里动弹不得。

　　案发时，周顺福假装乘客，上了德士后要司机李启俊交出财物。德士司机仍留医　情况稳定　　据报道，李启俊当时相信因紧张而误踩油门，导致整辆德士冲上路堤的巴士站，再撞上店屋前的柱子。

　　李启俊和周顺福双双受伤，受困德士内动弹不得。

　　李启俊的左脚骨折、脸上多处割伤，被送往樟宜医院治疗，目前情况稳定。

Whose fault? PRC on social visit pass acquitted of robbery charge

Whose fault? PRC on social visit pass acquitted of robbery charge
October 28, 2009 by admin
From our Correspondent

PRC national Zhou Sunfu who was charged last week for trying to rob a cabby was cleared afther the charge was dropped. He arrived in Singapore on a social visit pass.

The cabby, 61-year-old Robert Lee Khee Choon was warded in hospital after his taxi crashed into a pillar in front of a shophouse.

Zhou was given a discharge amounting to an acquittal on the application of the prosecution. No reasons were given for the discharge.

There were few other details in the report carried by the state media. Neither was the cabby interviewed to find out what exactly happened.

Did Zhou attempt to rob Mr Robert Lee at all? Or was he acquitted due to lack of concrete evidence?

If Zhou had never tried to rob Mr Robert Lee, then the latter must have made a false police report and should be charged in court. However, there was no mention of it.

There must be prima facie evidence to charge Zhou in court in the first place. What did the police investigations reveal?

The abrupt acquittal of Zhou seemed to give the impression that there were lapses somewhere along the chain of investigation. Did the police or prosecution miss out anything?

It is ironical that a PRC suspected of committing a crime in Singapore is given an unconditional discharge by the prosecution while Singapore citizens acquitted of wrong-doing by the court were not so lucky.

Two weeks ago, 5 Singaporeans are acquitted on charges of “illegal procession” for walking in a group from one point to another in public. (read more here)

The Attorney-General Chambers has since filed an appeal against their acquittal and sought to convict them for a “crime” which amounts to a maximum fine of $1,000.
