Expensive taxi fare

Usually, I take the MRT to Yio Chu Kang station and change to a bus to my home. The bus fare, after the transfer discount, is probably 50 cents. (I did not pay attention to the actual amount).

Today, I decided to take a taxi, as I have a few heavy bags. I thought that the taxi fare will be around $3.

I was surprised that it turned out to be $6.60 (inclusive of a peak hour charge of $2 - which I was not aware).

This will be the first and last time that I take the taxi from the MRT station to my home.
