It is because all these TD try this stunts and that stunts, from
backlane to small road also turn and twist, paxs taking those taxis
going by simple normal road will tend to ask "Uncle, why are you
going this way?" Then when you ask them, 'Oh, sori, then which ways
you use to travel" Then they will reply, "I also not sure, because
the other taxi driver use these lane in, then turn right, then
left, very fast and quick..." Haiz.
In our survey in accident dept, there are 3common ways taxi get
knocked or knock into others. First, like all other drivers,
changing of lanes.
Second, junctions from cross junction to T junction and so
on.
Third, small lanes to big lanes
Good info
i think its better go by normal route, unless at times, pax
knows better, wanting to save time (fare), will direct u to some
shorter route.
Those pax that knows the
route better, and have preferred route, will give u specific
instructions or direct u as that route is proven better, in terms
of traffic lights or fare savings to them.
otherwise some popular short cut route which u are familiar with
like cutting thru NUS into Science Park 2, coming from Clementi
Road(Bt Timah), instead of going down into the narrow P.Panjang
route, best is ask pax for preference.
sometimes a 'short cut can be a wrong cut'. Try to work to your
advantage.
