I suggest we consider introducing a Feeder Taxi Service (FTS) like the Feeder Bus Service (FBS) now in operation.  The FTS can have taxis plying the FBS routes and be allowed to pick up those waiting at bus stops and along the road and who are in a hurry to reach the MRT station.  The advantage is that once the taxi is full with 4 persons it will proceed straight to the nearest MRT station unlike the feeder bus which will take a fixed route. Could consider charging $2 per trip and allow the use of ezlink card or cash box like buses for easy and efficient collection and record of trips.  The route eg. 222 can be displayed on the display panel atop the taxi.  This I believe will be an additional service to attract motorists to take the train instead of driving their own cars to work. Preference should be given to Singaporean taxi drivers who are 55 years old and above to drive the feeder taxis.  Meaningful employment for the elderly.
