There is unhappiness over the new LTA rules that require taxis to pick up and drop passengers at designated stops. The LTA will make some changes to address these complaints.
Over the longer term, we need to improve the transport system within the Central Business District.
I suggest that an overhead light rail transport (LRT) be build. This will run along the major roads. It allows passengers to travel within the CBD or to connect to the MRT stations. Travel within the CBD can usually be done on one train or one change of train. Many buildings can have walkways to connect to the nearby LRT station.
We now have a LRT system in three towns in Singapore. The usage of the trains is low, due to the small population catchment and other factors. I expect that the LRT within the CBD will be more successful.
If more passengers uses the LRT to travel within the CBD, there will be less need for taxis.
