Attracting commuters

THE big two taxi companies here are going all out to encourage ridership during the troubling economic times.

In the first three months of this year, average taxi trips fell to 893,674 - the lowest it's been in five years. Latest figures for May saw patronage decelerate further with numbers dropping to 836,535 compared to 923,494 at the same time last year.

Taxis have been hit hard with the economic recession and commuters turning to public transport that has improved connectivity and options.

In an effort to reverse the downward trend, ComfortDelGro is launching a four-month campaign to give away $280,000 in taxi vouchers.

From Saturday, commuters can text message their names and their receipt number to 71222 every time they take a taxi, for a chance to win.

Vice-president of sales and marketing for the company's taxi service, Mr Edwin Yeo said: 'We believe that with so much more up for grabs this time, commuters will be further encouraged to take cabs.'

Comfort, which is the largest taxi company here with 23,000 taxis, said it had also launched other marketing promotions.

A partnership with Nets, rewards lucky passengers who use the payment system, with daily cash prizes. And NTUC Linkpoints members can chalk up points if they book Comfort cabs.

SMRT, the second largest cab company here, is currently tempting customers with its four-month long Book and Win promotion. The event, which began June 8, sees 15 riders a month win $100 worth of taxi vouchers. In their grand draw, the top prize is $1,000 worth of vouchers.

These measures are part of a push by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to help prop up the taxi industry here.

When the party scene at Clarke Quay starts heating up, so does the traffic there, with cabs in taxi queues jamming up the road

THINGS are really jammin' along River Valley Road on weekend nights at nightspot hotspot Clarke Quay. As in a hazardous mix of traffic jams, taxi queues and pedestrian partygoers, that is.

Snaking taxi queues waiting to pick up passengers at the main drop-off point in the area, the Clarke Quay taxi stand outside The Cannery building, hog an entire lane of a three-lane road, effectively reducing it to two lanes.

Because of this, motorists trying to make a U-turn from the opposite side of the road have to negotiate a tighter turn and keep an eye on the fast oncoming traffic.

Add jaywalking pedestrians to the mix and the buildup becomes a jumble of honking cars and flashing headlights.

Marketing executive Alina Quek said: 'It is an accident waiting to happen. There is just not enough space to U-turn once the taxis start lining up.'

The 31-year-old added that cars making a U-turn also have to look out for fast oncoming traffic, which causes a second buildup on the opposite side of the road if drivers stall for fear of a collision. 'You can wait up to 10 minutes just to make a U-turn,' said Ms Quek, who has been frequenting Clarke Quay nightspots every week for more than two years.

She observed that the jam starts to build up close to 11pm when party revellers start to arrive, and said that as the U-turn queue grows longer, partygoers 'alight from their taxis on the other side of the road and cross the road to save time and money'.

Bank manager Kelvin Tan blamed the 'horrible road design' for the chaotic traffic situation and said it was a result of a badly placed U-turn and taxi stand.

But it seems the perennial traffic issue is something many Clarke Quay goers have got used to.

Bank officer Kong Deyuen, 24, takes the MRT instead of a cab whenever he heads there for his weekly drinking session with friends. 'It takes too long for me to alight from my taxi because of the long U-turn queue,' he said.
