A cabby, who did not indicate that he was busy, hired or on call on his toplight, refused to stop for a STOMPer and her friend, and even claimed they damaged the boot of his taxi.
STOMPer Michelle says:
"The Comfort taxi driver, indicating that he was heading towards WoodLands on a piece of paper, did not turn on the Hired, Busy or On Call sign when we flagged for his taxi.
"As he drove past us, my friend tapped on the taxi's boot to inform the cabby that we were going to Woodlands.
"The taxi then stopped and the driver came out shouting at us.
"I called the police to lodge a report, and in the midst of my report, the taxi driver drove over to the stationary police car parked opposite the road and reported that we kicked his vehicle and caused damage to it.
"How can the fuel tank cover be damaged when my friend only tapped on the boot?"
The STOMPer says she hopes the police will investigate the matter to see if they had really done damage to the taxi.
Ms Tammy Tan, Group Corporate Communications Officer, ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited told STOMP: "We are aware of this incident and are assisting the Police in their investigations."
