What To Do When Singaporean Taxi Drivers Wont Let Your Group Of Five In The TaxiWhat To Do When Singaporean Taxi Drivers Wont Let Your Group Of Five In The Taxi
We then tried to get in a taxi after a long stand in the rain. One taxi driver got very animated at explaining the rules that taxis could only hold four people, not five, and it didn’t matter if one of them was a 6 year old. Curiously, this taxi was equipped with some special backdoors that could not be opened by the passenger. The taxi driver activated the back door with a mechanical arrangement similar to a bus drivers mechanical door. We couldn’t get the front door open, so we had to climb back out and wait for another taxi.
So we waited for a taxi driver with limited vision, made sure two of us opened both the front and back doors to ask about our destination, and then we all piled in before he could count the number of people. We hid Jonathan behind his seat so he really wouldn’t notice… This old taxi uncle tried valiantly to communicate some things with us as he was driving, but for the life of us we had no clue what he was saying, it was all wide mouthed vowels and seemingly no consonants….. The group decided we should go to little India and find KL like Indian food to eat in Singapore, since it had been a bit over a whole day since we left the Indian food of KL. We found a nice vegetarian Indian place.
