You Shouldn't Drive With ComfortDelGro
Honest Review by a PH MBA Graduate
- We have the highest rental fee yet receive the lowest fares.
- With fares even cheaper than street-hire, is it sustainable?
- We have an average of 100 no-shows and cancellations per month, incurring petrol costs, GST, and fuel duty taxes without any compensation.
- When passengers litter or vomit, we cannot claim from anyone, even on compassionate grounds.
- Poorly maintained vehicles at the Loyang workshop require drivers to repeatedly return to the workshop.
- There is no personal privacy with the use of the driver's app.
Frustrations with ComfortDelGro's Service Inefficiencies
After years of receiving feedback, nothing has been done.
The Autobid system gives inaccurate ETAs, resulting in a wait of up to 11 minutes before the cancellation button appears.
Would you be willing to wait for 11 minutes at Paragon?
The Unseen Side of a Daily Busy Road
It's the old, the sick, the mentally ill, and the differently-abled who often wait patiently for a taxi. Yet, it's often the office workers who are late and don't seem to care at all.
This irony shows us the tough role we play as taxi drivers, seeing all sorts of lives and needs every day.
According to SG Road Vigilance, there is taxi roaming the streets without road tax and naturally possible no insurance.

Impact of Slow Driving on Earnings and Driver Profitability
Why Driving During Peak Hours Could Be a "Scam"
Driving in peak hours can be less lucrative despite higher fares due to traffic congestion. Slower speeds prolong trip times, eroding the benefit of the 25% surcharge. As a result, earnings at typical peak hour speeds like 30 km/hr are often lower than at faster speeds in less traffic, making peak hour driving seem less worthwhile.
