General information on cab in Singapore:

Depending on the part of town you are in as well as the time of day you may have to go to a Taxi stand to get your ride. In March 2008 a rule was made that said cab drivers could not pick up passengers along the road side in the Business district and they could only stop at the taxi stands or driveways of the companies. This makes getting a ride in the CBD a lot harder for everyone. When you add in the bus lanes where cabs can not stop all this added to the frustrations for both the drivers and those seeking ride.
