"flag-down" up

Land Transport Authority and Public Transport Council just announced that they will reconstruct the Taxi flag down fare, which means it will be more complex that it already was. they say it was to ensure the livelihood of the taxi drivers and and also benefits the consumer.

from which angle is the raise of taxi fare would become a benefit? Singapore's car was already an expensive thing,  plus the price of parking, now they increase the price of cab also i think its quite cruel and forcing us to use Crowded MRT and Bus.
