Definition of Axio - Smallest Cab in Singapore History

Got this rare chance to take Prime (the orange colour one) Axio cab.

If you do not know, Axio is the newest member of the Corolla family which is the bread and butter car for the typical Singaporean in Singapore. It is reliable, spacious,
simple to operate, good fuel consumption, blah blah blah...

That's okay if you using it as private family car. What happens now is that even the axio is a CAB now. The only difference is that it is powered by natural gas.

See, since time began, the cabs in Singapore are all dominated by big cars. The private version of the Toyota Crown is a 3000cc luxury saloon called Royal Crown. The Nissan Cedric is also a large car by any default. Even the old Toyota Corona isn't the typical average car in Singapore.

It feels like now smaller car can take the role of the bigger car. The next time your VIP is here, forget about an S-Class Merc or a 7-series. The Mini-Cooper can do the same job.
