Taxi fare increase will hurt the infirm badly

ST Dec 10, 2007

IT IS distressing to hear that taxi fares are increasing this month. It seems all expenses are increasing except our pay.

For one group of people, this increase in taxi fares will be hard for them to absorb. They are the people on wheelchairs and the sick who need to take taxis for their visits to hospitals.

For them, besides having to pay for their hefty medical expenses, they now have to find the money to pay for the additional transport expenses.

Despite all the talk about a buoyant economy, the ordinary people in the streets do not feel that their lives are any better than before.
