The most Amazing Cab in SG

Boarding a cab yesterday evening, I was caught by surprise to realize..

1 - The cab provided free access to WIFI (there's a modem onboard with a huge cooler!)
2 - Provided free printing of documents service for passengers onboard (there's a printer just at the backseat, in front of the rear window!)
3 - Universal handphone charger (charge at own risk precaution)
4 - Adjustable LED lights attached to seats, in case it became too dark for passengers to do work on the cab

WOW. Therefore out of curiosity I questioned.

The driver said it wasn't his cab, he was just a relief driver in place of his friend. His friend had a few years earlier thought why not provide these services since he himself loved working on the go, and that his cost for internet subscription and printing would be covered by passengers who would tip for using the services provided.

Examples he quoted :

Airport -
Passenger forgets to bring ticket, can print an E-ticket immediately online. Life saver I must say!

Handphone Low Batt -
I myself would happily tip him for that half hour charge for that vital few moments of being contactable and being able to contact.

WIFI -
There's no reason not to provide the customers with a fixed price paid convenience for himself. How nice of him!

KUDOS to such nice people in Singapore! Maybe mobile companies would turn kind one day and provide us with free communication services. Till then, let's dream on
