>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. Many members of the public had questioned why cab operators are still applying the surcharge.
