Bro, when I said TD cannot express themselve well, I am
referring to TD verus the public at large, not within the taxi
circle.
We all agreed that the first impression a public view a cabby is
someone who cannot make much in life or that cannot get a job
because of fark up attitude. Secondly, it can be low education, no
higher skill, lazy to learn and study, cannot work with superior,
with colleages and so on. Like it or not, this is the view, you can
argue until the cow come home, but these are the views of what the
public see in us, of course infront of you or news, they will said
taxi driver is ok, good,..but behind the scene is different.
TD are good in expressing themselve are mostly within it circle
of trade, and that include the companies and LTA, because all at the same same frequency. But to
public, they not that skill enuf, so to speak, that is why, I keep
insisting govt or company to sponsor drivers for upgrading in
public relationship, a course that can help drivers to tackle any
issue on the road, and it should be given free.
Let take a look at this driver who make an illegal turn, he
could be on call, he could be urgent going to toilet, he could be
late for an advance and so on or simply turn because infront he
knew, no more pax liao, all industrial or plain field, and we
agreed that it is wrong, this is the first item, the second item
will be, someone honked at him because someone is not happy as he
nearly knock into him, if he had taken some public handling
courses, he would had wave his hand in apologise and case
close..see the picture, he would hv the skill to think first before
action.
