His power is increasing by the second, as long as taxi drivers in this forum, post direct links to his forum.
Cash Lee might have posted a direct link to a comment in his blog. But Chris Reed or one of his workers, re-directed all links to his main article.

You can post the link, but unlink it first like what I did above. If you don't, you are actually agreeing with what he said about taxi drivers.

You read through only the online comments. Agree that not a single soul agreed with him online.
His article was published offline in the main media newspapers. Read any comments there? Did the main media newspapers publish any of the comments in their respective news papers?

Which brings us to the question whether Chris Reed is British!
But seriously, how many brits have you picked to come to this conclusion.
-
Chris Reed could start his own Taxi Company.
Taxi Drivers in Chris Reed Taxi Company will not ask the passenger on the preferred route. They will however send their passengers to their destinations at a Chris Reed charge of 30 pounds or SG$70 for every 10 kilometers. This is in accordance to what Chris Reed compared Singapore Taxi Service to... His British birth land. Chris Reed Taxis! would have his (Chriss Reed) photo on every taxi.

agreed! including british bull dog, best around..... -
It takes a very lame person to give negative critics that hold no fort on local taxis drivers. We are afterall, people exposed much to the public, kena left and right, up and down, front and back till seasoned, and therefore end up as the most easier people to get criticised other than kan cheng hu.

When you link directly, meaning click and his f##k site appears, you are increasing popularity of that f@@k site. This makes that shitface more happy.
Just paste link can already. Ex http://www.facebook.com/

what to do, he PS2 or sex 2 only, still need spoonfeeding -
3 ang mohs made fun of our Singaporean old trishaw rider and still got the gut to put it on Utube
2 ang mohs hit one of our malay brother taxis driver with a bottle of wine
3 ang mohs, whacked one of our Taxis brother, and 2 of them jumped bail
1 heavy weight ang moh hit and run, now jumped bail and never want to come back.
So is Singapore Taxis the worst or Ang mohs in Singapore more worst?

Singapore has the world’s worst taxi drivers
That’s a statement not a question for a reason. It’s true. Singaporean taxi drivers are the world’s worst. I love living in Singapore but the one thing that winds me up no end is taxi drivers lack of ability to do their basic job, take me from point a to point b.
First question they always ask when you get in a cab, which way do you want to go. Now they don’t ask this as they do in other countries where they may be asking for the choice of directions that the customer wants to go.
No, in Singapore they ask because they have no idea how to get to the destination. If I hear one more time, “I’m new, I don’t know the way� when getting in a cab I will scream. My response is twofold 1) you’re not new to Singapore you have lived here all your life and 2) it’s your bloody job to know the way!
If someone came to me in my marketing job and said I would like some marketing advice please and I then turned around and said well what do you think because I haven’t got a clue, what would happen? The client would walk out and not pay me. In a Singapore taxi this happens 75% of every one of my journeys.
There is no excuse. Newness to the roll is pathetic. They are not new to Singapore, they must know the way. If they do not why are they taking up a job as a taxi driver?
Whose fault is this incompetence?
The driver, the cab company or the Government? All three in my view.
The driver really has no excuse. All taxi drivers in Singaporean have to be Singaporean. They tend to be in their 40’s and 50’s. Therefore they have lived here all their lives and presumably know the city inside out. It’s not that big! I have lived here three years and know most routes! So why don’t they?
Does this come back to always being told what to do by the Government? They want to be told the way even though it’s their job and they are, let’s not forget, being paid for this service! Why don’t they take responsibility and know the routes? Why do they have to be spoon fed when their livelihood rests on it?
Have the government conditioned them so much that they do not want to take a risk and go the way that they must know or do they simply genuinely not know in which case why are they so ignorant and going around with their eyes closed? It’s their job to know the way!
No training means greater ignorance. Cab companies clearly do not train their taxi drives. If they did they would know the way to anywhere in Singapore or be able to find the way without asking a passenger. Why don’t they train them? If they do then they seriously need to look at their program because it does not work.
What first impressions does this give a tourist arriving at Changi Airport? That someone completely new to the country could be asked which direction to go and do you know where it is, the two most common things a Singaporean taxi driver says!
Don’t believe me? Take the last couple of week’s mishaps as some recent examples:
Asked to go to Singpost at Paya Lebar the taxi driver took a detour to Marina Bay... west not east! She then had to ring up someone to ask the way to Paya Lebar as we sped towards Vivo City...
Going to Rochester Mall I had to get three taxis before someone knew the way
I was taken to Suntec when I had said Novena Square
Asked to go to Nicoll Highway from Bugis Junction was told that he didn’t know where Nicoll Highway was...(it’s next door)
I was taken to Little India when I asked to be taken to Marina Square (he thought Marina meant inland... Despite Marina Bay, Marina Square, Marina Bay Sands being the other way...).
Asked to take Stadium Road I was told by my driver that it is fully closed when it is not and if it was I wouldn’t directing him that way...
Asked to go to Changi Airport the driver, who was on the ECP (the correct way) turned off to go the scenic route...
Asked to go to Sentosa Cove went to Sentosa beach (right not left)
Asked to go to One Shenton, Shenton Way asked for directions and only knew were to go when I said next to Asia Square! Bizarre because Shenton Way is old and Asia Square is new!
Asked to go to Great Eastern Centre (great enormous building with Great Eastern on the top) on Pickering Street (CBD) the driver didn’t know whether either of them were
Having asked a taxi driver to go to Kallang Leisure Park he attempted to go the wrong way down Nicoll Highway on the basis that he could cut across the Stadium only to be surprised that it had been knocked down and the Sports Hub was being built and it had closed off all the roads!!! Work started 2 years ago...
I could go on and on and on and on...
What happens at 4pm? Why does “change shift� give taxi drivers the right to not pick people up? Why do they drop by taxi ranks and say that they are going to their home and that if anyone else happens to live next door to them they will take them but if not they won’t! By the time they have driven around for hours looking for this perfect passenger who lives next door they could have taken several people home and earnt some money!
I was given a great example of how some stands get focused on my taxi drivers. If you are standing waiting for a taxi at Ion, you have a long wait because it’s not in the CBD. If you move a few steps to Wisma Atria you will get picked up because it is in the CBD and that extra couple of dollars makes all the difference to a taxi driver which brings me on to rain…
When is the one time you can never get a taxi in Singapore despite their being 26,000 of them, more than any other country per capita? When it rains.
They disappear. You cannot for anything get a taxi when it rains. Where do they all go? You can’t even text them or app them and they usually love that as they get an extra couple of dollars.
Why do the big posh black SMRT limos that Singaporeans won’t get into (because it costs a couple of dollars more, they would rather wait in the queue, even though it is the same cost as texting for one…) not take card? Why do the red and black/yellow ones do the same? Which modern country these days only takes cash when all the marketing from people like Nets, MasterCard, Visa, EZ link is cashless? Why do some cabs have displayed that they will take card/they are cashless only to turn around and say only cash? This usually happens only on a Thursday or Friday…when they don’t get their money to after the weekend unless it’s a cash payment…
Why are there 25,000 of the 26,000 Singaporean taxis always at Changi Airport? This is why you can never get a cab when you really want one. They are all waiting at Changi for that amazing fair, even though the queue takes hours to go down and they could earn much more on shorter journeys in the city….
So all of this makes them really bad, but the world’s worst? Well in London you can’t become a black cab driver unless you know the “knowledge� which is the A-Z of London streets. You must know every street, every hotel, every landmark before you get a license. They should do that in Singapore.
In Australia and New York they allow non Australians and non Americans to take the roles and the service and knowledge of the city is better than Singaporeans of Singapore. In fact I would wager that if you took an Indian who had just got off a plane and never been to Singapore and gave him a cab he would do a better job than a Singaporean taxi driver in driving you to your destination…
Why don’t the Government allow non-Singaporean Asian’s to take taxi drivers jobs? That would make current drivers them more competitive and less ignorance and complacent. No more not taking jobs, no more not knowing the way if they felt like they could be booted out and replaced by a willing Indian cab driver who had put the work in and knew the streets inside out and worked all hours to generate money.
Getting cab drivers to take personal responsibility to know their own city streets, being properly trained by companies and creating a competitive market place with non-Singaporean rivals for their jobs is the only way forward for Singaporean cab drivers. If nothing changes they will continue to be the world’s worst taxi drivers and continue to be the black mark on the tourism and business marketing of our otherwise amazingly run city state.
This Chris is such an unreasonable & unforgiving person.whoever works for him will have a v hard time to please him. He did not find out the true reasons why Td need to ask pax what route to take,why no fetching pax on changing shift UNLESS is along the way to change shift. 101% ALL TD are too happy to take this extra trip. He FALSELY accused 22000 taxi are q at AP. He has no brain to say this statement. Can the 4 terminals accommodate this nr ? -
Ya loh AP where got time to queue. Some times I also wonder why got people like to queue at AP? For me unless png if not I run far far...
