How is this possible? Stomper's cab fare from Sentosa to Woodlands costs $195Posted on 01 January 2015 | 5,956 views | 8 comments
Stomper David is unsure how he racked up a tab of $195 for a cab ride from Sentosa to Woodlands in the early hours of this morning (Jan 1).
The Stomper had booked the taxi through the Uber app.
He had also made a stop at Lakeside to drop his girlfriend off.
In a phone conversation with Stomp, the Stomper said:
"Yesterday, my girlfriend and I went to the countdown party at Siloso Beach, Sentosa.
"We took the shuttle bus back from Sentosa to the HarbourFront interchange.
"Seeing so many people queuing up for a cab at the taxi stand, I decided to use the Uber app to book a taxi ride home.
"The driver first dropped my girlfriend off at Lakeside, then ended the trip at Woodlands. This was at about 5 something this morning.
"I did ask the driver about the pricing, but he told me that it was calculated via the US site using GPS.
"In the end, the tab added up to a grand sum of $195.
"Also, I was warned of a double charge (as you can see in the screengrab) before I proceeded with the booking, but proceeded with it anyway as I didn't think it will add up to this figure."
