People only tink of themselves. Tink in the position of a TD.

Bio-Hawk SG

Lol, everyone is selfish and think only in their own ways.

Elginang SG

in such ways, some TD dont deserve the ill-treatment from the pax.

Like me, i sense C-B pax when they are in my taxi, i shoo them off, telling them i dont know the way. Go find another taxi to take.

bowah SG

Please lah, many TDs lost their life on the road, some thru innocent accident, some thru robbing, some thru illness, and some tio hoot until blue black eyes cannot even find his spectacles.

A pax will never understand TD behavor till they drive taxi themselves. Because we as TD, are also pax at times, and when we take cab, we understand the TD feeling, but those cb paxs who have never experience a life of a TD, still can come and teach TD want to do and what not to do??

The relationship between pax and TD needs both hand to clap, you good, I good, you said early, I decide to take or not, not wait until reach already then tell me..still hv to go to these and that…

Jiao kia dunno what is plastic…

wsy1234 SG

both has problem talking. first passengers should let the taxi driver know what is going to happen during the trip and the driver should ask before picking up the passengers as he is changing shift. i wonder if he switch on the change shift sign before pick up the passengers?

wsy1234 SG

maybe LTA should send those drivers that is over 50 years old for re education on how to handle customers and what is call change shifts and over taking and try to cut in to take other taxi passengers at a two lane road

peterpan212 SG

Td does takes course but not public. Public always want to stop at bus stop but rules state cannot. Lta should do public education Not expect td to educate public.

i used to be very considerate for a TD

i take 1/2 to 1 hours sitting at home making a booking and still couldn't get one

i go to the street and stand under the hot sun for 1 hour to encounter numberous rejection by TD, with green light on top somemore.

i board a taxi and pay the extra $$$ for the extra distance travel by a TD mistake

i onboard a taxi and go thru the TD black black face throughout the whole journey

so, this is what i got for begin considerate

one fine day, i decided for a change

when making booking, i make multiple booking at a go, whoever come first got my business. And it usually take me not more then 10 mins to get a cab

On the street, once it is a green light (for hire) taxi stop, i never give a chance for him to ask, i just open the door and hop in. If he refuse, i will threaten to complaint, to LTA. Then on, it take me not more then 15min to board a cab.

When a TD uses a wrong route, i make a fuss about it. And i never got to pay extra, sometime i even pay lesser

When a TD face black black, rude........., i make sure i F him hard enough and let his face even more black, spolit his days and make my day, i happy about my "achievement"

And, i'm a more happy person to be inconsiderate to TD.

Taxilim88 SG

Wah, why pick on 50 years old and above TDs? That would be 80% of all active TDs.

bowah SG

Let be more factual in our arguement,

There are approx 27000++ taxi in Singapore, and at any one time, only about 18 to 20k are on the road, as the rest will be resting.

Pte Car population in Singapore at june 2014 is approx 607,000++

Land Transport Authority statistics showed that the total vehicle population stood at 971,871 at end-June – 0.2 per cent down from 974,170 at the end of last year

Bus population approx 3000 and increasing.

Rest are motorbike, lorries, van and big veh like trailer etc etc.

607,000 pte car and you pick 20,000 taxis on the road to argue over our way of driving…please lah, we ply the road per day 30 trips more than your pathetic few trips

As Jun 2014, total no, of taxi in Singapore is 27,865. Since the taxi availability required 80% of taxi to be available during peak hour. Hence, there will be at least 22k availablitiy on the road during peak hours.

Who care about non-peak hours where more taxi is available than demand.

because some of them seem to have some kind of problem with people around when come to driving under stress or pressure

People only tink of themselves. Tink in the position of a TD.

The pharking TD should have said NO to the pharking pax and then both could sleep better at night without that pharking incident if I think like a taxi driver I will charge you 50cents for every minute I waste my time reading postings about taxi drivers

peterpan212 SG

the pharking reader tink wasting of time reading postings about taxi drivers should not come into this taxi forum otherwise he is using this as an excuse of his own doing to charge ppl 50cents for every mintue. Charge who? Of course himself for doing it, Wasting his time.

That is why the booking system need to ban such ppl and taxi need to install camera to record the such cb pax actions.

bowah SG

install smlj…just ask him to fark off lah, bo eng to send him..limpek need to lau sai

TD mostly can tarhan tio fark one…but pax kenna TD fark..all buay tarhan liao…lols

Elginang SG

haha. me different. If i do wrong, i kana fark also np one. But if kana fark wrong, hee....

good luck to the pax.
