With regards to the earlier post on my morning situation, I think I have the solution:
Why not we convert part of the bus stop into a small taxi stand for cab sharing? Say whoever want to take cab to the nearest MRT station can queue there and with 4 person to 1 taxi, each person cost is merely $1 which is almost the same as taking bus (single trip).
Benefits are:
1) Taxis have more motivation to be in neighborhood areas as they can earn from all these short trips. Thus, you will also find more taxis on the neighbourhood area
2) We can ease the overcrowding on the buses during the morning peak by offloading some to take cab
(I am sure not all want to take taxis as it is still cheaper to take the bus)
3) Commuters get to the MRT faster
4) No overcrowding of the bus stop
Actually, this can be done even when there is no regulations. Just start talking around the bus stop and convince 3 more people to do this with you. I am sure with 20-30 person at the bus stop, a few will agree .
I guess we people in Singapore need more have communication with each other.
