If you do not know how to go to a place what do you usually do? (e.g don't know the condo, or road)

Those pax living in those small roads will they usually guide you? (e.g. Oriole Cres, Dalkeith Road, Tham Soong Ave)

Usually they will give you the well known roads e.g Linden Dr or Kheam Hock rd or Dunearn rd. Then they guide you once you reach there. Cos they know from experience if they tell the driver Oriole Cres, most of them will stare at them blankly.

For those kwai lan ones who really give the street that they live, I use GPS to find where the road is. Once I know where, going there is easy.

Finally, open your mouth to ask if you really don't know where the road or condo is. There are more than 5000 road names in Singapore. You are not expected to know all of them. But once you are told where, you are expected to know how to get there using the shortest route.

Do you usually press GPS finish, then start moving? I see most taxi like once the pax door closed start moving already.

Simple lah. Don't know, ask lah.

If pax don't know where they want to go, then anywhere is the right place.

If they can tell you the name of the place but don't know how to go, use GPS.

If GPS cock up, use Singapore Map app on your smart phone to check.

Orh kio - old havelock rd, beo crescent area

Pek kio - Cambridge rd/ owen rd

Tanglin halt chap lao - tanglin halt area

Tangline halt chap lark lao - commonweath crescent, close area

If really don't know, ask them take another cab lah.....don't be so stressed up, there are plenty of fish in the ocean :)

Dunno road…then ask pax lah, if pax dunno road, then dun take lor, 1 goondo is better than end up with 2 goondos going round and round wasting both time and breath.

But learn, you hv to learn, if pax know, you reach already, take some picture and look/remember those prominent object and building, or for that matter, even if you do not bring pax there, you go back also look up on where is the road and learn.

Then during those time where you got no pax, drive here and there also no grab, no call, no street pax, try to learn more unique road as you sweep.

Season driver like us hv GPS in our head, better and quicker than the GPS, and we do not do it because we are special or born to be TD, we also learnt the hard way, sometime kenna fark by pax learn better, you die die also remember the road when get farked. Then when you are master of the road, smlj is Oriole Cres, sup sup water with oreo biscuit.
