Are cabbies heading for casino?

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

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
phones to call the various taxi booking numbers concurrently to
increase my chance of getting one. Best if your phone is a speaker
phone with auto redial function
