TAXI surcharge lifted but why not for all service providers?

Much lower diesel price prompted move; other operators yet to decide

ONE of Singapore's smallest taxi companies has announced it will break ranks with industry giants and drop a 30-cent fuel surcharge.
Trans-Cab, which has a fleet of 2,200 red-and-white taxis, said it will lift the levy on Nov 11, just over three months after powerhouse ComfortDelGro introduced the surcharge. It was quickly adopted by other cab companies, much to the chagrin of commuters still coming to grips with a fare increase introduced last December.
Trans-Cab managing director Teo Kiang Ang said the company decided to lift the levy because the price of diesel has fallen substantially since July.
This has prompted many members of the public to question why cab operators are still applying the surcharge.
my views: i can understand taxi drivers have a hard time making a living..but i think it is unfair to pass to consumers...think about those needy like elderly who need to go hospital often, special needs people who can travel except taking taxis and mothers who have children and groceries to carry...
i do and pray the surcharge be lifted soon...
