Tks bro... but I always go geylang for paxs leh...
Geylang of course is good place for pax 24-7, but must just be
extra alert. Especially in the wee hours of the morning.
FWs in Geylang, for sure you can 'interview' one - this people
won't complain one. Interview is not just for location, but also to
see if they drunk, or behaving suspiciously. Normally people with
bad intentions, will have some hesitation. Maybe they hail 1 cab,
then back down, then hail yours. Or if they hail a few cabs, all
kena reject, this one you must be careful, must find out why the
earlier cabs never take. Maybe they told the Td they only got $10
go Tuas, of course everyone will say no, then by the time they see
you, they decide waste time to explain, just board, then go Tuas
then talk see how, or 'chow cab'.
But normally Bangla and FW Indians, will not pull such stunts.
For others must see where they go, if going to a dorm, or areas got
people one, no problem. Dorms all got security. Tuas if ship
workers, also quite okay one, they usually got money, they go
geylang for 'horse riding', so normally will have money for that
will have money for cab fare. Talk to them, find out about their
ship name etc, all this can be of use if something go wrong.
For ladies in that industry - no problem. I'm sure you will
enjoy the fare! But beware China girls, some of them very tricky.
Vietnam, Indon and Thai all usually no issue.
You must be careful of Ah Gua, especially local one - the Thai
ones, no issue. Local ones usually pokai type, might try some
tricks. Ah Gua the Champions League location is OT, the Premiership
standard is Changi Pt. Geylang is all the char par lang ( I dunno
if I spelt this right). So becareful of local Ah Guas in
Geylang.
For locals, the old gangster type - also ok, they will not rob
TD. It's the younger ones you must be careful a bit. Read body
language. If not comfortable, don't pick up is okay what. Lose a
pax better than lose a fare (non payment) or kena rob.
The last advice is try not pick up those who suddenly run to
grab a taxi, they might be fleeing from something. Or those
involved in some argument or fight - be it with other guys or with
their gf. if the guy and girl argue in the street, they will also
argue in your cab. If the guys are angry with someone in the
street, they might point their anger at you instead later.
Drunkards all this no need to say. Just remember to keep your
doors locked before you finally decide to admit a pax in
'hot-spots'.
I hope you find this advice useful
