  • Comfortdelgro Taxi Launches Programme to Reward Multi-Modal Transport Users
    COMFORTDELGRO TAXI LAUNCHES PROGRAMME TO REWARD MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORT USERS 28 June 2017 – Hopping into a taxi after that bus or train ride will get a lot more rewarding – and we aren’t just referring to the convenience it offers. In its latest move to further enhance its service offerings, ComfortDelGro Taxi is launching a new initiative – “CabRewards +” – to reward taxi passengers who travel on public buses and trains. This is how the new programme works: Passengers who continue their journeys with ComfortDelGro taxis after alighting from buses or trains will get double the number of cabpoints earned. So a $10 cab ride will earn 20 cabpoints which can be used to redeem for a variety of rewards including instant discounts for taxi booking jobs via the ComfortDelGro App, taxi vouchers or free transfers to the airport via the CabRewards website (https://cabrewards.cdgtaxi.com.sg). To further sweeten the offer, these “multi-modal taxi trips” will earn 10 times the number of cabpoints during the launch promotional period which will end on 31 July 2017. For example, a taxi ride of $10 will earn 100 cabpoints. The new scheme will be rolled out in two stages. During the pilot phase, taxi rides made after bus and train rides on SBS Transit buses or the North East Line, Downtown Line as well as Sengkang and Punggol Light Rail Transit systems will earn extra cabpoints. It does not matter whether the taxi ride is street hailed or a call/app booking, or if the fares are paid for in cash or by card 1.

I had picked up two middle-aged gentlemen from the East Coast of Singapore and dropped them off near town. It was, for all I intents and purposes, an uneventful trip – until they alighted, that is. Within 20 minutes, I received an alert on my Mobile Data Terminal (MDT). It was a call for me to head towards a nearby police station. I figured something was wrong and did not hesitate to make my way there. There, I saw the same passengers I had just dropped off. They were frantically gesturing for me to open the boot of my cab. When the lid popped up, they immediately reached for the small bag that was still in there and unzipped it. What I saw nearly gave me a heart attack – that nondescript bag contained several solid gold bars! My immediate thought was: “Thank goodness no one opened the boot. And thank goodness the Company was able to track me down so quickly.” Indeed, ComfortDelGro’s vehicle tracking system ranks amongst the top in the world. Going by the very officious-sounding name of Integrated Taxi Management System (ITMS), it uses the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) to wirelessly connect the despatch system to its entire fleet of taxis in Singapore. This means that the system can “see” me anytime, anywhere – making it easier for it to send me booking jobs that are closest to me.
