Dun be too happy with all these taxi rental lowering or cut, if you look/or calculate at the incentive and benefit gone or reduced, it is not much of a different.

During my last meet with all taxi companies, they already acknowledge that lowering of rental is the key to attract taxi drivers, not the incentives or benefits, so they decided to lower it, then calculate the short change, then reduce the incentives and benefit accordingly to compensate the lost in their rental.

Be guided

agree with bowah

What are the benefits and incentives that will be forgo?

f1taxidriver SG

Bowah, you dont be conned by those management. If the balancing between rental income versus incentives/benefits was so easily done and can be done to the point of ZERO financial impact, all our taxi companies would not have taken so many years to reduce the rentals.

So my point is that taxi rentals are their main source of income and all those reductions from incentives and benefits cannot cover their costs. In short, they will see a drop in profits. Cannot escape one. Dont be fooled.

Let's take SMRT offer as an example:

2 weeks free rental and 5.5 months @$59 a day. That is about $10k in rental for 6 months.

Now rental for 6 month for existing loyal partners. $127 a day minus 1 free day rental per month and 6 months incentive of $1.5k loyalty discount. That is about $19.7k in rental for 6 months.

So what benefits what incentives???? The taxi companies calls taxi drivers as Partners. I guess it is partners that they can Screw!!

Transcab boss is smart. He knows that existing drivers can jump to other companies and enjoy the promotional rates. But he bit the bullet and extend the discount to existing drivers too. Only companies like CDG and SMRT are willing to screw their driver and expect to get away with it. If we taxi drivers dun make a stand now we will never have a chance in future.

World War 3 begin......

CDG cumming out $59 rental OMO 3 yrs old So Langba in Feb.......

Knn, cheaper than what I had started driving taxi last time.......

CharlesTD SG

It will be musical chairs with taxi companies offering 6 months promotion. They still think they can revert back to the 100% rental after the 6 months. So drivers will jump company to company and might even jump to PHV if they also decide to start rental war.

Pandanchen SG

You want the truth, can you handle the truth?? The truth is, dun be a driver.

With PHV new rules coming in, taxi companies reducing rental and challenging them…now is the time…brothers and sisters, taxi companies had been waiting for this Phv new rules to kick in to play their counter attack..it is up to you to choose, the buffet spread now is widened.
