New crackdown on errant taxi drivers
From next Monday (19 November 2007), taxi drivers who are caught touting, overcharging or refusing to pick up passengers will be hit where it hurts most - their pockets.
They will be slapped with stiffer penalties, including higher fines and demerit points, immediate suspensions, as well as revocation of licences for certain repeat offences, announced the Land Transport Authority on Monday.
Offences such as touting and refusing to pick up passengers, which only resulted in a fine and demerit points previously, now come with immediate suspensions ranging from two to four weeks.
If a cabby is caught touting and overcharging less than $20 twice in 24 months, his licence will be revoked. In the case of overcharging by $20 or more, the offender's licence will be revoked immediately.
Dear cabbies, life is getting harder... but it doesn't harm to make a 'honest' living... If you think i'm gloating, dun start bombarding me... My dad's a cabby too... LoL
