Have you experienced a smelly ride in a S'pore cab? How can we make the cab company to stress this?

Question

I have been in nice smelling and foul smelling cabs like a used baby diaper was stuck in the crevices! I have no problem in winding the windows, or telling the drivers that they have nice or foul smelling cabs, but don't we as passengers have the right to enjoy our rides to our destinations without having to avoid these awful situations?

Answer 1

Riding in one of those types of cabs is like rolling the dice. Unfortunately, the only thing that you "have the right" to, is a ride to your destination. My advice: take a small can of air freshener with you. Good Luck.

Answer 2

I don't think they will consider about it, as there're some more important issues they haven't resolved yet (no cab in peak hours, for example). The point is, taxi is public transportation too, and we have to live with it, if we want a better service, we need to pay more, like limousine/Mercedes taxi (travel in style/luxury). If you take limousine, you can definitely complain about everything.

To be fair, cab drivers are usually over-time workers (or driving cab is their 2nd job), they're usually in bad moods and if you have a good ride, you should be happy already. They really really don't care if you like the smell or not, 'coz the smell may caused by other passengers too.
