Feeling the pinch

The battle of wills, inevitable with the introduction of a fare hike, is talking its tolls on taxi driver too. More than half of 20 ComfortDelGro drivers , whose company rolled out the hike on Monday, told Today that they were feeling the pinch , with their taking falling between 5 per cent to as much as 50 per cent. Could it be that the travelling public was staying away from using taxis in a knee jerk reaction to the hike? Or could the apparent fall in passenger be due simply to the fact that many were out of the country because of school holidays.

New Word
inevitable-> unavoidable: impossible to avoid or to prevent from happening
