I aso bk full day taxi b4,aso no problem la.
My guessin is sm Sgrean big mouth or act big,wan use Uber or Grab but overly expose their ownself usin it lor... mani times i see w my own eyes b4, SGrean 'kids' (young adult) r knwn 2 go btm & talk veri loudly @ hotel recept (&public) area & run ard playing like little kids while their bking gers jus sit at 1 small corner quietly looking @ their customer blankly.
These 'kiddy' clearly tink btm is another province of sg la...lol. U'll often hear 'i'm nvr going btm again' ,wen they met w any small problem.

Direction of these 0.0001% goes 2 shw they onli wan 2 eat their cust up & swallow their bones,letting their prey (cust) hav no other choices.
I tink i r'ber seeing sm news b4 on jkt taxi drivers income drops by abt 40%-50% bcs of Uber & other online taxi companies...lol. Jus imagine hw much they earn last time.
i r'ber got hear ppl say b4 btm taxi drivers can fetch minimum 1.6k sin$ income lei...lol...sm even 2k,3k.

There's only the need to find the correct solutions to bypass these grp of 0.0001% LOCALs who r abv the laws to get to one's key objective (which in this scenario were, using Uber & Grab).
For those who chose not to "think",specifically for solution of any kind, then it's only right for them to pay that few extra bucks.

Since i mos time bk full day cab,uber & grab aso seldom use so i tink all these case hav 2 wait & observe. With less ppl gng 2 btm,it'll onli benefit the regulars.
10 ovr yrs ago,go btm taxi fare is abt 30k-50k,today look like it bcm cheaper lei....lol
base on tis below.....

No hurry tho,unless they are offering really attractive offers eg,like some Free Rides...hehehe... (since most of my taxi ride today were already very low)

i tink mani here wl've read b4 in tis same tread & knw, 5-6 yrs ago wen a few reg brothers in this forum were stickin 2 their 50k fare,but TODAY wen they go btm,stil they're payin the same 50k lei...wat has gone up? the gers? the food? Lol...mayb...mayb...prices onli gone UP for the clever 'emperors' frm Sg. C'mon sense goes along way indeed.........
Do u see wat i see nw? 
Did u pay higher prices 3 yrs+ ago 4 taxi? (since nw most of the time,u get free frm hotels & 50k for 2way)
Did u hv 2 pay a higher price for gers 3 yrs ago as compared 2 today? (since u say u all the way nvr pay more than 1m rp on gers b4)
So is price go up or gng steady? or gng dwn? i tink onli u yrself knw the ans since u r 1 of em who always been payin lesser & lesser each year ovr yr last 3.
Nothg in any chiong scene is Absolute! LOL
