Singapore taxis' 'new' peak hour surcharge!
For those who travel regularly to Singapore, one of the highlights has always been the somewhat affordable taxi fares. Not any more.. (well, almost not anymore).
All Singapore taxis have now implemented a 35% Peak Hour surcharge in addition to the Airport Pick up fee.
Peak hours are from Mon-Sat 7am-9am, and Mon-Fri 5-7pm. This rate is calculated only on the base fare and does not include the Airport Pick up fee of $3 for weekdays and $5 for weekends. And oh ya, you'll be charged extra for using certain roads/highways/areas too if where you're going is within that restricted area.
All numbers above are in SGD. Currently US$1 is approx SGD$1.43
