Really? I zai buay hu leh. Zai until sometimes kio tolong...lol

Maybe I only drive those lucrative hours....

Elginang SG

Always try to drive $1 =1km. Of course usually after 11pm onwards, surely burn more fuel to cover distance against costs.

Almost impossible unless that day its continuous non stop short trips. If u keep getting $10 above fares, the 1:1 gap widens

Elginang SG

Put in layman's term, just check your odometer vs your total earnings.

1 : 1 Possible La.

But more likely to be 1.15Km to $1 sales.

No so nice to upload sales summary, or else I can show you my Jan 3rd week daily sales is about 1.15Km to $1 sales

I am a Night Shift cabby hor.

With the diesel rate at 1 litre $0.85. Who care about $1 -> 1km.

bowah SG

Well, still can achieve mah, diesel rate is just back to the norm, do not take it as a reduction, we had been overcharged when oil price shoot up.

Even fuel rate is low, if can achieve 1 : 1, can make more mah.

But from reading here, look like drivers are able to achieve or near achieving it, which also translate into more earning, coupled with a lower fuel rate, so most can huat.

Like this, for fares to go up, quite difficult hor.

We are just taking our lanjiao and hit our head

1st 3 weeks slow but now seems to be picking up again. Hope it continues....

bowah SG

So, if can, STFU on yr earning and achievement!

If drive night $1 to 1km possible if stay inside CBD. Worst case outskirts like Thomson, East Coast, Kent Ridge.

If kena Jurong Yishun really LL. If kena Tampines want go airport also think twice. The airport queue very long after 9pm.

At night, kena northern parts Kranji, Woodlands,CCK, Sembawang, Upper Thomson, Yishun, the most jialat.

If kena east like pasir ris ot tampines, still got airport (but Q terrible), changi biz park, changi north or loyang or move a bit to geylang to try.

If kena west like jurong west, still can try jurong east area or dirve to Alexandra area.

As a layman taxi driver, it is alway an added advantage to tell others that driving taxis cannot earn much, hard to earn a living, something Q one hour, no pax, and so on, even tho you zai buay hu.

Unlike other trade/buiness, when interviewed, will alway said, less profit..but for Taxi drivers. they tends to say they earn much higher than what is the real case, that resulted in 3 main issues beside all other smaller ones.

1. More people joining taxi trade leading to more taxi on the road
2. Taxis fare revision will be prolonged
3. The public will take sg taxi drivers as rich people, no show is no problem for them, less tips and a non sympathy manner toward taxi driver on the road
