Last Monday the Land Transport Authority (LTA) introduced a new CTN (Common Taxi Number) system - 6-3425-222 or 6-DIAL-CAB - and the first indications are that it is a hit. Taxi passengers looking for a taxi call this number and are directed in turn to the call centers of the six taxi operators in Singapore until they receive one.

In order to find out how well it works, seven LifeStyle reporter tested the new number and the six taxi companies' helplines. Implemented by the LTA at no additional charge to taxi operators, the $90,000 new system was awarded a five-star score by the LTA staff for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Nearly all incoming phone conversations were answered immediately and then forwarded to one of the call centers of the six cabin managers. Reporter who could not get to their taxi company or did not make a reservation alternatively used the new helpline number and their call was also handled quickly.

Assigns taxi operators automatic call assignments on the basis of their percentage of all callers. In this way, each taxi business receives its own proportion of the call assigned to it. You can call this new line and ask its operators to forward your call if you favour a particular taxi service but cannot recall the reservation number.

An LTA review shows that more than 4,600 phone conversations were made to the new line in the first four trading day.

Furthermore, 30 taxi ranks in Singapore indicate the new number. No taxi could be found for our reporters for the first three phone conversations, and the one times a reservation was made, the taxi could not appear.

The taxi operators in Singapur say they welcome the new venture, but most of them were hesitant to say whether the new system will lead to more reservations as it is still in its infancy. Deputy Managing Director Agnes Seng, 24, says: "Instead of trying to call all taxi businesses when I can't get through, I'm just dialing one number now.
