It is just a myth of course

Just swap out your 16” tyres for lower profile ones. Find 14” rims if possible.

I guarantee your meter will jump much much faster.

Keeping within the speed limits can end up tio fark by pax one hor..that time heart jump faster than meter

f1taxidriver SG

I not talking cock. Vehicle mileage and speedometer is computed from the number of revolutions in the wheel, unless you are flying a plane or helicopter.

The smaller the wheel, the faster the apparent speed and mileage. So yes switching to 12” rims is even better but the rims wont fit your i40 or sonata. How u think i made $7K as a cabby, but still quit in the end?

bowah SG

Look, every car got it geometrical structure designed to maintain, u can change rim to lower one, but you will be slow, take up more fuel, and work the engine more leading to many other failure as this is no conform to the designed structure, and when you get banged…aiyoyooo…the taxi companies found out about the alteration or modification, good luck.

Definitely TS, slow like tortoise driving below 20km/hour, meter sure jump faster,......

bowah SG

Slow or fast, meter is the same as distance travelled is the same, unless there are lots of traffic lights and jams on the way.

Most TDs will want to go faster, collect the fares and look for the next one, taxi driving is not about all about travelling, it is also about flag down fares. Back 13 quality paxs at CBD, if at peak, you can get 13 paxs and yet not move out of CBD, imagine yr flag down fares with addition 25% + 3 dollars surcharges will be a huat…and yet uses less fuel and work.

By going faster has it own logic, if each trip you can save 2 minutes, 20 trips will save you 40 minutes, which you can use to pick more paxs or use it for resting.

That is why, you see ah seng, Ah keep, ah ham, ah pool, ah bow, ah beng, ah eng..ah fool chiong all the way..then tio summon that time, I tiam tiam, only kpkb inside…kan cheng hu, kan society, kan front vehicle, kan cam, kan taxi companies…but never kan themselves one lah.

So..be….careful especially at year end..dun be santa claus hor

u waste time on taking calls with no show also sibey tulan.

how many u can fetch a day is more or less there. TD income is stagnant, can't go far.

nowadays so many cams, speed traps..

bowah SG

Then becareful those cam and speed lor, now Cdg the new MDT got reminder one…speed trap ahead, speed limit 60km/h, bus lanes in operation along this road, etc etc…until I off the volume..seibei lor sor one.

No lah TD income is not stagnant one, it can go down one hor.

j007 SG

No lah TD income is not stagnant one, it can go down one hor.

u are right, can go down fast, go up slow.

now is the season to go down

bowah SG

Now is TP hunting season for their year end bonus, so be careful.

Taxi income on average is 3k per month only, and that is one of the lowest in self employ job/business. As singapore cost of living inflated and going to inflate further due to high income and rich peoples, pple like TDs will be left far far behind in the widening gap of the rich and poor.

As such, this society whereby the richs are getting richers and more coming, prices of goods will go up, which no problem for the richs, but for the poor like us…will be struggling to keep up.
