Dear Editor,

I refer to the article: Not a real solution: Extra $3 surcharge for taxis at Changi Airport not enough for petrol costs plus long wait times

We’ll all feel bad and angry after reading the above on the news in regard to the above-mentioned article.

We all knew that the Upfront charge is now $4.10/trip which is “buffer enough” and then the surcharge of another $8/trip from the Airport?

The typical citizen(s) will ask, “What’s the Gov’t going to do to “soften & steady” this perpetual problem?”

Surely the citizens cannot be the suckers at the end of the stick!

Only the Taxi Rental CAN BE REDUCED from what is happening now globally.

Is there a Union? Perhaps not.
