Someone in LTA finally thinks.

Finally, the stupid rule gets scrapped. Good news for the taxi fans here 

CNA :

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has fine-tuned the rules for taxis in the Central Business District (CBD).

Starting from Monday, taxis will be allowed to pick up and drop off passengers on side roads of the CBD where buses do not ply.

Along roads that have buses plying, taxis can only pick up and drop off passengers at taxi stands or on driveways of buildings between 7am and 10pm.

The LTA said cabbies have up till 1 May to adjust to the revised rules, after which they will be fined.

According to the LTA, it will continue to install more taxi stands on roads in the CBD. It will also make taxi stand signs more prominent and install new signs to direct passengers to the nearest taxi stands.

The adjustments are made after receiving feedback from cabbies and commuters over the past two weeks.

The LTA had earlier introduced a new ruling for the CBD which required cabs to pick-up and drop-off passengers only at designated stands and driveways.

No one was using their brains - they were merely reacting to pressure from all sides. It was evident from the 'siamz/justification' statement they made on the news.

Probably not much gigantic logistical gaffs just yet; someone has to 'pay' for the recent embarrassment, so all the more so, no one will have any courage to do anything, good or bad.
