Allo Taxi



Taxis are a well developped way of transport in Singapore. There are nearly 30,000 taxis cruising the streets and I remember reading somewhere that it was the city with the most cabs per person in the world. They all are air conditioned and they all are metered. Not all are good drivers though and many have a few problems with gears but most are very honest. Nearly all the lost / forgotten items are returned to their owners if claimed. They also remain a comparatively cheap way of moving around even though the fare hike that took place at the beginning of the year made more than a few passengers unhappy.
