@8dayssg: A viral TikTok showing a Singaporean man being rejected by four taxi drivers after asking to pay by credit card has sparked debate online. Some commenters claimed cabbies are not allowed to refuse passengers based on payment method, while others said drivers prefer cash because card payments take longer to process. We looked into Singapore’s taxi regulations and what the Land Transport Authority says about cashless payments, passenger refusals and taxi drivers’ rights. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #taxi #cab #singapore

Because if you paid by card it takes them awhile to process & receive payments for the driver that’s why they want cash. And the boomers still wonder why ppl don’t like taxis and would rather use apps

Sir say :
because the meter can reset to $0.00. this way, they don't need to declare how much they earn. avoid tax

There should be a rule that card and cash should be accepted in all taxi rides. Not the driver dictating what they prefer. Can LTA look into this matter!!!

The lady very funny. Why she need to ask the cab drivers whether can pay by cards? You simply go into the cab and tell them yr destination. Upon reaching, tell them you are paying by card or QR.
