Ya lor, if accident at Paya Lebar or Eunos, siao liao, then the infamous Kallang there, every day also jam

Pandanchen SG

KNN like that next time cannot ask which route, must pass them a notebook and write it down, pretend you are partially deaf. If pax ask why got disability and still drive, the show them your notebook and say you previously work in a thai disco until got hearing problem.

very good idea !!

bowah SG

Why must be thai disco, I can always say I am part time Chinese funeral chang tong ching group. Then later pax said softy.."Uncle, here is $50, keep the change" I hear already, replied happily "oh..thank you, thank you" Then pax ask..how come keep the change you can hear ar???

Keepthechange666 SG

My goodness, got to repeat again, is he the same guy that been told off by the pax on the same situation?.......

Airport cum out, only 3 expressway to go........

TPE, go to North, North-East, and sometime, West or North-West.......

PIE, basically can go anywhere in SG, but......not places like Bukit Merah, Commonwealth, Alexandra kind of area.......

ECP, don't need to say, everywhere that are along the Eastern and Western corridor of SG........

When pax say up to you from AP, most time they meant, plying the normal way, but when exit from expressway, is up to us to manoveur toward their destination.......

For example, if going to Bukit Merah View, going by ECP (don't need to ask de), once exit by Lower Delta, you want to go straight also can, turn left by Henderson also can......

So in the 1st place, why ask about PIE, giving a chance for pax to screw you up........

sg11 SG

fetch a local lady from airport to Bukit merah view. i asked her to choose the route but she said just move. so i told her can i use PIE, she said can

when i reach steven road/whitley along PIE she asked me "why didn't you take the ECP" ?

Sometimes I take taxi, the driver silent all the whole journey. Seems like a good tactic to avoid any problem.

Example: I board taxi, then tell driver destination, then the driver start driving without speaking a word. Whole journey driver never speak at all.

Keepthechange666 SG

1 day down the road, 99% of pick up no issue lor, so most TD choose not to ask, lu ask lu complicated.......

Yishun sent to Orchard Taka, Taka pick up go Holland Road, Holland Road heng heng pick up back to Taka, than no pax, go Mandarin Hotel pick up go Airport, Airport png go Inter-Continental Hotel, png go ORQ, finally at ORQ, pax say go Lim Tua Tao Road, suddenly blank out, so ask lor.......

Most TD more or less everyday also like that la, mostly straight forward route, where got so many problem.......

bowah SG

The road as I said before is no problem, but knn, as a TD, you must know that they got many other personal problem mah…from kiam ah long to affair to money not enuf problems..you think they very concentrate ar??? couple with not enuf rest and sleep…after first 3 hrs only…all look like zombie already..so, they make mistake mah.

Silent, silent lor, Once I took a silent driver, but the taxi engine very loud, reach already, I told him, you go long road, my usual trip fare is only $7. Your fare is $10, so I pay you only $7...see if he still silent or not?

Neutral-Thinker SG

This one depends on whether got traffic jam or not and whether he really took a longer route without asking which route to take. Very seldom short $7 route taxi drivers would take much longer way. $3 difference is $3.00/$0.22 * 400m = 5.4km (actually slightly less because certain portion charged at $0.22 per 350m).

If really taxi drivers fault, just settle on the spot and take $7 quickly proceed on to find next customer. Otherwise means mood for the whole day would be spoiled and maybe need Comfort to settle. 90% of customers would not care about less than $1 difference.

Ya, Lu lang jiao eh TD, oops, Lau Jiao eh TD......

Lu many many eh problem in life, gambling problem, bicycle problem, family problem......

Don't talk, don't talk la, if kena me, I always like to talk, talk, talk, talk, next moment heavy rain, will remember me.......

"Ok, sent you 1 Limbu, 60 pts".......

"Mbr, job paging, 60 point 10........".......

bowah SG

60point…knn Uber 100point leh. Somemore rental only $55…something is not right.

Keepthechange666 SG

Orr, than call Über la.......

bowah SG

Then I quickly go take my pte car…lai liao…

Neutral-Thinker SG

60point…knn Uber 100point leh. Somemore rental only $55…something is not right.

$55 rental means $55 cheaper than old Sonata.

But pump fuel at least $15 more....so $40 difference for a car that does not have insurrance for 4 passengers. Supposing one can collect $250 per 12 hours....but 20% must give Uber.....that means $50 additional to Uber.....so in the end still more worth it to drive taxi since $40-$50=-$10 difference. Somemore cannot street hail and cannot reject so totally depend on company for customers. Plus $55 car not as good as Comfort's Sonata in terms of stability, room-space and boot space and very likely all already snatched up by others so must rent the $70 type.

Only incentives (which are not guaranteed in the long run) temporarilly makes it seem like a good thing to join Uber. However, 94% of taxi drivers considered but did not make the move to join Uber.

This morning at around midnight I was told by one of my customers who was waiting at Marina Sands Bay (the queue was 100m long) that Uber also marked up the price to 3.x times its normal rate when he attempted to get a taxi. So would fetch customers who are very unhappy too.

Uber is only seems like 100 pts.

bowah SG

You do not need to be Uber mah, you can do grabcar, better, if pax call grabtaxi, it will change to grabcar coming to fetch them.

Actually, productivity speaking, apps ride are much more conservative in fuel usage, they just park there and wait, calls come in, they move, unlike taxis…driving around empty like a chicken without head…waste many fuel, then all face green green due to too many having green light on top shining on each other reflecting a green face…teowhew said..drive until bin cheng cheng.

Keepthechange666 SG

This cumming Airshow, no On-Call and private pick up allow......

Song bo? Über or Grab Neh Neh......

f1taxidriver SG

I fully support no private limo or taxi app usage at air show. Even as a former cabby, I found the presence of so many on-call taxi and private limos to be a complete nuisance and cause of traffic jam.

I hope they extend this to formula one as well. Ban all taxi/limo apps and taxi bookings. Just let those green lanterns come in and sweep the pax away.

Organizer gong LJ way.......

Jam? When all the guests jam up at taxi stand with no taxi on sight especially change shit timing, than they will know how ignorant they are......

Do you know that even Limo counter been taken away, strictly just $10, expect all taxi to chiong there? Siao ah......

bowah SG
