Can also try getting in a "trusty" cab driver to ask for a "Carsa". Usually good selection if you find one. Each have their own spots but can give you good times...can negotiate.
Well, my own 2 cents ..

Finding a 'trusted' driver is problem number 1, and most of the 'trusted' drivers are the hotel drivers, who charge an arm and a length for the shortest of the journeys.

Then, if you ask a driver about 'Casa', unless you are filipino looking - well, you may end up waylaid and kidnapped or both, and nothing else to add on.

I still believe that Singaporeans have to stop living in their shell and strike out directly, instead of always depending upon OKT and such, who more often than ever, screw you every possible way.

Meantime, just two weeks ago, a friend of mine ended up in Angeles, and despite my warnings, struck up a 'agent' and in no time, was relieved of his phone, watch, cash and everything he had in himself, in return for not reporting to the police for UA ..
