7 Sins of Singapore Taxi

1. When you try to flag a cab by the roadside, all the cabs will dash past you - unoccupied
2. When you finally flag down a cab, the cab driver will refuse to go where you wanna go
3. When you move to a taxi stand in an attempt to get a cab, there will be no cab stopping at the taxi stand
4. When there is finally a cab stopping at the taxi stand, it will be "on call"
5. When you try to call a cab, you will be put on hold for at least 5 minutes
6. When you try holding the line for 5 minutes, you will be told that "there is no taxi available at the moment"
7. When you get onto the cab, the cab driver will not know how to get to your destination

I experienced all the above within the past 2 weeks back here.
