Local taxis

In some countries, there is a separate licence for a local taxi. It can only operate within a certain zone. This is to avoid competition with the long distance taxis. The taxi driver probably pays a separate licence fee.

I suggest that we should have this concept to provide a feeder service to MRT stations or bus terminus. We can allow private cars to be used to provide this service. The cost should be kept low, say $1 per passenger or $2 per trip.

If there is an efficient feeder service, more people will use mass transit. There will be less cars on the road.
