Just like any other part of the world, taxis are the easiest ways to go around in the compact city state of Singapore, with fares considered relatively low compared to those in most cities in developed countries.Taxis can be flagged on the streets or at taxi stands located at all train stations, malls and hotels. The initial flag down meter fare starts from S$2.50, which covers the first 1 km. A location surcharge may also apply.
Fiat Croma Taxi
All Singapore Taxis are fitted with electronic meters; are all air conditioned; are all 5-seaters (including the driver) unless otherwise stated; about 90% of taxis have radio-phones; and call booking is done via GPS or digital voice dispatch. Singapore taxi cab passengers must wear seat belts at all time under the Singapore law. Most Singapore taxi cabsĀ run on diesel fuel, with more Singapore taxi companies turning to compressed natural gas (CNG) for greater savings in the recent years.
