Taxi drivers are not like food selling business whereby you can
sell 10 plates at one go, TD can only serve one pax at one time,
and if that pax sent you to far north…good luck to you. So, it is
very much depend on Luck, nowaday, you can grab or take call with
destination, use it wisely to your advantages.
And when the going get tough, go home sleep, dun waste your time
on tough period.
The statistics had shown that many taxi drivers are now
returning back to be hirers instead of being relief, OMO had increased in the last year to 11,000 drivers,
this trend happened because of the need to have flexibility in
driving so that you can gain from both peak period, and with more
apps and calls, as OMO, you are more in
control and able to earn more within a shorter period of times.
This is also in line with Govt and taxi companies hidden
agendas. In a right condition, taxi companies prefer more hirer and
less relief, more relief becoming OMO is good
because more taxi will be rented out, and as for govt, by inputting
mileage rules, they expect OMO to ply on both
peak period then 2 men operation, moreover, getting relief is
difficult, so might as well go OMO.
