Sometimes u must listen to pax let them choose their way. Unless
they dunno, ask u then u lead them to fastest way. Even thought I'm
nit TD.
Yalor, first ask pax where they are going, then ask pax for any
preferred road, then if pax said, just follow lor, but if pax said
anyway.....THAT IS THE CUE to be EXTRA CAREFUL. Many taxi drivers
thot pax said up to you mean ho seh liao,...but end up drink kopi
tua tua cup.
Therefore when pax said, up to your or they also dunno the way
or that you taxi driver should know the best way..stay calm, map
out a road and tell pax your intention of the road to the
destination, at the same time, once near pax destination, most
would had recognized their place, let them take over. I know many
garang taxi driver die die never want to ask and straight drive up
shangrila lobby, but pax may want to drop somewhere near shangrila
or another part of shangrila, residences or maybe cook
house.
Pax are not stupid people, once they see the way you ask and
talk, they knew they cannot take you on, so, never be an agent of
agression/trouble, instead be an agent of safe and sound. Never get
angry when pax accuse you of something, agitation is sometime a
master stroke of some nasty pax.
Finally, if pax do not know the road, and you also do not know
the road, then ask pax to take the next available cab.
