Nightmare with Prestigious Cabs!

I decided to cab to Jurong West today, and went to hail a cab.

I waited 5 minutes... 10 minutes... about 15 minutes... STILL NO CAB IN SIGHT.
I got a little worried as all the cabs that went pass me were either "Hired" or "On Call". I was even thinking if I should call one too! But decided to just wait.

Finally, a black cab that looked pretty cool came. I have never sat on this kind of cab before! Before I boarded the cab, I noticed the words on the cab door - SMRT Prestige. Then and there, I felt something already. I was boarding a Prestigeeeee cab man.

However, it didn't look comparable to Merc cabs so I didn't think too much about it. I was expecting its starting fare to be similar to Merc cabs ($3.20). THEN, when the uncle started the meter, I GOT A SHOCK OF MY LIFE. My heart was gonna come out of my mouth already! The starting fare was FIVE DOLLARS. And that wasn't the worst!!!
I realized the way the meter jumped wasn't like how it is in normal cabs. It jumps by THIRTY CENTS, unlike the usual TWENTY CENTS :'( I really wanted to puke then. Hahahaha. I couldn't help but think of the super unjustified cash that was gonna fly away from me...

ALSO, the meter jumps every very-short-distance. The distance per thirty cents was less than the normal distance per 20 cents driven by the usual cabs.

I was sooooo... :S turned off. Hahahhaha. It was a freaky experience man.

I left the cab with 21 dollars less in my wallet, unlike the usual supposed 11 dollars. Just to Jurong West!! It costs me only about 18 to cab from my house to EXPO! :O

Don't say I didn't warn you guys - AVOID THE BLACK PRESTIGIOUS-LOOKING SMRT CABS IF YOU AREN'T FEELING RICH THAT DAY!!!
