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.
(OK, fairerweise muss man dazu sagen, dass auch hier der Diesel-Preis gestiegen ist).

Hier ein Bild aus alten Tagen:

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!!!
