its rigid regulations, and taxis are no exception. Think you can just step
off the curb and hail a ride, New York City style? Sorry. If you're a
first-time visitor to Singapore, you might find yourself cursing as you watch
cab after cab ignore your attempts to flag them down, despite their
illuminated green lights. That's because before 10 p.m. in the central
business district (CBD), taxi drivers are only allowed to pick up and drop
off fares at designated stands, where queues can be painfully long during
rush hour, and building driveways. But new rules that come into effect next
month will make it easier for people looking to catch a ride in the CBD.
