Comfort dictate the taxi fare

After Comfort announced they are increasing the taxi fare, another two companies SMRT and Transcab would also increase. Oil price as a biggest factor in this round of price adjustment. Since comfort is the biggest taxi company in Singapore, they would dictate the fare. They say going up, then the rest just follow.

Yet, after paying for the extra bucks, do you get better service? Do you find cab easier? That's debatable. The taxi system in Singapore got serious problem. Everybody has encountered situation where you can't get taxi at peak hour/raining day. They should look at way to improve this, other than keep increase the surcharge.

Since Singapore always like to consult the public regarding some issues. They can just do the same to invite public for opinion to improve the system. Disable the ERP charge for taxi would make the system better and everyone benefits.
