Former Nominated Member of Parliament, Siew Kum Hong, wrote about 3 things he is annoyed with about Changi Airport.
1. CAB QUEUE
“First, is the cab queue, with its system of a human being directing human traffic and, if your cab queue is located in the middle of the terminal, acting as a radio despatcher to fall for cabs to come over (presumably to another human being on the other end of the radio).
