Taxi operator should do more to keep existing drivers rather than attracting new hirer.

But many existing drivers, nearly 50% already pass 60year old, 30% pass 50 years old only 20% 50 years old and below. So, they need to attract new blood, especially younger ones, but today younger ones are joining UG, so they have to give promotion to new hirer lor

Drive less and spent less time inside the taxis is a different issue. Drive less doesn't imply you spent less hours inside the taxis, eg, when at Q, you not driving, so your mileage will be low, but more time spent on Q.

One of the reason why I return key... treat existing hirer as suckered. ...
