Taxi Fare

Taxi Fare incurred last week:

Friday:
$10.20 (PLW to KHS to PLW) +
$8.60 (PLW to TP) +
$7.60 (PLW to TP) +
$11.20 (TP to KHS to PLW)
= $30.00

Saturday:
$7.80 (PLW to Bras Basah) +
$8.20 (SMU to Katong) +
$12.80 (TP to PLW)
= $17.80

Sunday: $8.00 (PLW to United Square)

Grand total: $55.80

Bus fare and MRT fare not included.

Also not quantifiable: sweat and pain from walking non-stop, rushing about as well as being first trapped by and then drenched in the thunderstorm that lasted from Friday through Sunday. Not to mention the agony of lugging all bags from one place to another, muscle aching or otherwise.

Expensive hor?
No la. Over here, a 10 minute taxi journey would cost the same as you.
Be very glad taxi fares are still affordable in SGP. It is still cheaper than owning a car. Imaging every day you do this, $50 X 30 = $1500. Private car is actually more expensive if you count in all.
Car price, ERP, COE, insurance, roadtax, parking, etc.
