That is complacency at it very best, like Singaporean, in the
80s and early 90s, never believe they will be taken over by
foreigner, the first few batches of ah tiong, ah neh and ah bangala
came, most see them as beggar, cannot make it type, Singaporean act
as Kings, locals laughed at them, at their behavor and character, I
remember few bangala workers coming in with shirt and tie, next
day, all go dig road..give local supervisor shout here and
there.
And as these foreigner workers bring in more relaxation for
locals workers and supervisor, most started to depart their skill
to them in hoping that they work and locals just sit and collect
paid, thus become complacent. Nobody that time worry about too many
foreign coming in, but not, you see foreigner taking over higher
position and locals are outcasted..to be taxi driver..lols.
The on call market is a huge market, $0.30 and 0.40 for peak and
even $1 for advance is not a small market, 16,000 cab just take one
0.30 call per day only..will generate $4,800, imagine if each take
10 calls and not yet counting those advance and peak calls..can
easily hit minimum $20,000 per day, per month 600,000. More than
1/2 a million.
Now you know why apps like grabtaxi are pushing hard on this
market
