After trying Uber and Grab a few times, I have now decided that it is better to take public transport.
I had to wait 5 to 10 minutes for the taxi or car to arrive. Their app usually show the wrong information. It tells the expected arrival time, but this is usually unreliable.
The cost is high. Although they indicated a fixed fare, they add the ERP charges, which can be very costly. If the taxi is on metered fare, the congested road will add to the cost significantly.
Sometimes, the driver does not know the way or ask "which way I want to go".
If I take the bus or train, I do not get this kind of stress. Although the journey takes a longer time, it is more pleasant.
So, it will be back to public transport for me, except when I have to go to the airport to catch a flight.
