RadX Moderator March 9, 2009 Share March 9, 2009 Bad service: Cabby driver off with her bag From reader Chitra Kumar I HIRED a Trans-Cab taxi on 28 Feb in the evening from McNair Road, near Balestier, to Far East Plaza. Upon arriving at my destination, I realised I had only $8 with me and the fare was about $9.55. I asked the cab driver to wait at the side so that I could go to the nearest DBS ATM at Far East Plaza on Level 1. He then raised his voice at me saying how I should have told him earlier and not upon reaching the destination as he cannot wait at the zigzag line. I told him to either accept the $8 or wait for a moment while I withdrew the money. I kept my shopping bag, as an object of trust, in the cab. He yelled at me again: 'Of course, money lah, I want money.' Unfortunately, there was a long queue at the ATM, and I had no choice but to join the queue. However, in the rush I forgot to note down his licence plate number. I know it's illegal to stop at the zigzag line, but the driver could have exited Far East Plaza and come back seeking the full fare, as I was prepared to pay whatever the fare was. I even told him to keep the meter running. When I returned about 30 minutes later, the cab was gone. I then called Trans-Cab informing it about the incident and asked for a message to be broadcast for the errant cabby to return my shopping bag. I also requested the customer service staff to inform me on updates, but none called. I had to call three times and was told each time that there wasn't any response, and that it could have easier if I had noted the licence number plate. Finally, I received a call from Trans-Cab at about 10.40pm the same day informing me that the driver had left my shopping bag at the Neighbourhood Police Centre at Tampines Ave 4. I was told to pick up my belongings on my own. While I demanded that my shopping bag be sent to me because I was not in the wrong, I understand that only the rightful owner can pick up the belongings from the police station. The cabby's behaviour was totally unjustified. I was also disappointed with the attitude of the customer service staff at Trans-Cab. This is the third time that I am experiencing such behaviour by Trans-Cab cabbies. I e-mailed the cab company twice, but have yet to receive a response. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueegg Clutched March 9, 2009 Share March 9, 2009 Cabby obviously in the wrong. He should have just parked right there and refuse to budge. Then when kena summoned, just take it like a man and leave with his $8++ after half an hour. After all, customer is king! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
