Singapore – A video of a Trans Cab taxi bopping up and down while stationary at an intersection has gone viral on social media.
“The humping Trans Cab at a traffic light stop. Wonder passenger inside will get a headache or not?” observed Facebook page ROADS.sg on Monday (Oct 25).
The page included a video initially posted by Singapore Incidents Instagram page of a red taxi which looked like it was having the hiccups while waiting for the lights to turn green at an intersection.
With over 73,000 views, the 22-second video garnered mixed responses from the online community.
A few suspected a wheel suspension malfunction. “I saw this car over the weekend too,” noted Facebook user Edward Su. “When stopped, bounce, but after move off, will level off no more bounce.”
“Already more than one month on the road in this condition,” SAID Facebook user Dennis Chin who also knew the taxi in question.
It’s not just the car. Watch out for the driver, warned others about the taxi driver. “Please be careful; this trans cab is quite a reckless driver on the road, so do take a look out,” said Facebook user Ong Kok Keong.
On the cab’s “bopping”, it’s “easy to do” said Peh Hong Huat Ashley. “Foot brake apply (your parking brake), then put in D (drive), then press the throttle pedal,” said the netizen./TISG
