I am damn fuming mad now. Took a cab home from Orchard Towers just now and the bloody taxi driver took me for a ride! Instead of going the most straightforward route, which is Scotts Rd – Stevens Rd – Whitley Rd – PIE (Changi Airport), the bloody driver went by Scotts Rd – Cairnhill Rd – Clemenceau Ave North – ROUND Newton Circus – Bukit Timah – CTE (SLE), then PIE (Changi Airport).
I confronted the asshole… and he pretended not to get what i was saying. He went, “Whitley? Whitley?”. I got soooo mad. I told him, wouldn’t it be faster to go by “Scotts Rd, Stevens Rd, then Whitley Rd?”. After i spelt out the entire route, he kept quiet… could see the guilt. Damn idiot man. Did he think i was drunk just ‘cos i boarded the cab outside a stretch of pubs? Or did he think it was easy to con an assumed non-driver? (Which is a very stupid assumption ‘cos just because u can’t drive, doesn’t mean u don’t know the way). Or did he think that i was high on alcohol and probably wouldn’t know better?
Whatever the case, i am MAD! Just wrote a complaint email to Citycab demanding an explanation. BTW, the taxi driver’s name is Onn Bin Hamid (Car No. SHB2241G). If u ever board his cab (it’s a Citycab), be careful!! Grrr….
