  I will still stick with ComfortDelGro because of its 17 diesel kiosks island-wide, acceptance of major credit cards, CabCharge, e-voucher and NETS and also the CabLink MDT.

  yes, more pump station is big advantage. SMRT pump is geylang and somewhere i cant remember Silver is hoy fatt and i think Toh tuck (not 24hr) Trans is defu (houg) So that's why houg got many red cabs loh Comfort rental is higher than most companies esp if you consider the higher rent free days of other co. Comfort main advantages used to be cheaper diesel and calls, and payment mode. So as a relief who dont enjoy rental free days, if the rental charged by hirer to relief is the same for different co, comfort is always better...

  The diesel we bought is at 60 cents now  is the same grade as the low sulphur diesel at the station , how can comfort 40 cent profit from the poor cabby . this is too much and they claim it is subsided !! They already make enough from the rental still want to squeeze money from the diesel sale
