Premier E220 cdi rental 166 flagdown 4.50 after first km jump 0.35, who will take up SMRT CDI I rather take black flag 5.00 jump 0.33.

Bro JDIL any confirmation bo. Silver jiat buay lia

Unless SMRT really comes out with a superb incentive scheme, I wonder how this is gonna work. I am sure they cant guarantee g dep/arrival or jobs everyday.

Knn just give and take make it $200 a day flat = $6000 a month to rent! Like that maybe outside can rent a Bentley or Rolls!

$6k a month x 12 = $72k a year

$72k x 3 years+ = $250k. SMRT can recoup cost within 3 years and make around $200k in just over 5 years. If scrap at year 5 for rebate, they would make in excess of $150k per vehicle. Minus repairs/servicing etc, still looking at a profit of over $100k, and that's just a conservative figure

Just_do_it_lah SG

Yes...

Actually, the Management of SMRT are trying to get the number of committed drivers before they "place order" for the new CDI E220.

My buddy went up to see Mr Alex of the premier department today. However, there isn't any black and white from the company, stating the driver's contract agreement, hence nothing is confirmed as yet.....

It is a thought (by my buddy) to be a market survery conducted by their office. Only the top persons will decide whether they will released the new vehicles on the road or not. If SMRT doesn't have the committed drivers whom r willing to sign the 5 years contract, then very unlikely they will stick to their initial plan.

Hence, the CONCLUSION it is ONLY TALK TALK & TALK by the taxi company.

Btw, who wants to pay more for the same vehicle offered by other companies ???? no logic right ? SMRT Mercedes Taxi coated with GOLD ?

Taxi forum info based on hearsay only, real facts not very important, just what certain senior driver imagines them to be, that's enough to be taken as the Gospel truth.

Yes,

initially I thought "they" have a depth of information....

but seems like that can only start threads.... the other information (that followed) is not important .

I was busy with other online subjects for the past few days.... I was actually quite surprised when Poolman opened a thread and start talking about Limousine cabs... which all these while, he hated to....

Hence, I really thought he got "some information".... but only sms messages from fellow drivers only....
