Neue Taxipreise!!

Wie wir vor ein paar Tagen schockierender Weise erfahren haben, sind die Taxipreise schon wieder gestiegen!!! Nachdem die Erhoehung aus dem letzten Jahr nicht ganz so weh tat (der Startpreis war z.B. nur um 10 Cent erhoeht worden), haben sie jetzt nochmal ordentlich zugeschlagen.

Zusammen gefasst fuer Nicht-Singapurianer: Der Startpreis wurde dramatisch erhoeht und wird nun nach Autoklassen unterschieden (bisher waren nur z.B. Mercedestaxis teurer), nach wenigen Metern wird doppelt so viel angerechnet, in der Innenstadt gibt es einen neuen Aufschlag.
Fuer eine Tour in unser altes Condo habe ich letztens locker 5 Dollar mehr gezahlt ...

Also ihr lieben heimaturlaubenden Singapur-Freunde, seid nicht zu geschockt, wenn ihr im neuen Jahr zurueckkehrt!!!

1. Das ist ja sehr übersichtlich, diese Tarife...
2. Wenn wir uns recht erinnern, kann man ja auch alternativ einen Bus bzw. die U-Bahn nehmen (dauert dann nur etwas länger).
3. Der Spritpreis hier in D liegt aktuell bei ca. 1,30 für Diesel und ca. 1,40 für Benzin/Super, natürlich Euro!!
Höchster Benzinpreis war 1,449, könnte zu Weihnachten getoppt werden!
Letzte Frage:
Könnt ihr nicht einen Fahrvertrag mit nem Taxi-Unternehmen aushandeln, zu besseren Konditionen?
