Mr Abdul Rahim, 50, works with Manila Construction Pte Ltd and has been a taxi coordinator supervisor for 10 years. He looks after the operations at four other such taxi counters at the zoo in Mandai, the Singapore Cruise Centre at HarbourFront, the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, and on Sentosa Island. There are six-seater London Cabs or seven-seater taxis under SMRT available for passengers who pay a flat fare of S$50 per trip regardless of the distance travelled. Many of those who use the service are tourists, and Mr Rahim has picked up some simple sentences in at least eight languages. He recited them with aplomb, going through some commonly used sales pitch in Mandarin, Thai, and even Russian.
