One of the thing I hated the most is to encounter with cab drivers who love to use dishonest tactics to earn more money Sometimes, I wish I could just squash them with my bare hands and leave them to die with open wounds *oops sadistic*

A few days ago, we met up with this cab driver who nearly drove us all around Singapore. Took the cab from the Singapore Zoo and was heading towards Funan DigitaLife Mall when he started bringing us all the way to Choa Chu Kang/Upper Bukit Timah before heading to the expressway We were wondering why would he go all the way to CCK when he could just head towards Rochor Road. Obviously, he is making use of the heavy traffic in hope to increase the meter fare discreetly. When we started asking him about it, he did not even bother to give us a reply and continued driving. How rude?!

And then this morning, I took 518 @ 0830 hours from my workplace. I was extremely exhausted from the shift the previous night and was catching a short nap in the bus when I heard the bus driver shouting at the top of his voice all of a sudden. Apparently, he had forgotten the way to Pasir Ris and was asking for assistance through the system. The ironic thing is, he started driving the bus from Orchard to Tanjong Katong, then to Geylang and back to Orchard again! Not only that, he nearly endangered the lives of the 3 ladies in the bus (including mine of course) by stopping the bus in the middle of the expressway and ignoring the heavy traffic. Furthermore, he even had the nerve to honk other drivers when he was the one at fault. A normal 30 minutes journey took almost 1 hour 15 minutes today

How do we stop drivers from making these mistakes? Too tired to think as well, I have a huge load of backdated stuff to blog but no time to do so!
