There was a time, not so long ago, that Toyota Crown taxis were seen plying the roads of Singapore. This was a time when taxis in Singapore were only of this make and model, and none of the Renault, Hyundai or even Mercedes taxis were remotely seen as taxis.
The Toyota Crown taxis were reportedly phased out in 2014. However, it is reported that there is at least still two of these taxis that are out on the road. So, it was in one of those rare moments when one of the tow taxis was actually seen at Simei. A FB post by one Terence Hong indicated that he came across the taxi at St. Andrews's Community Hospital in Simei.
The taxi was such a relic, that it even still had a decal on its window, indicating the flag-down fare was just $2.80! If only we can travel back in time to pay such fees for transportation!
