You can say that because you might had experience it, but to be
frank, even at $160, still got taken, waiting list, formerly,
normal cab at 90 and merc at 120+ already lot of kpkb cannot make
it or impossible to drive ideology, today normal already surpass
former limo cabs at 130++ and new merc at 160++, still on waiting
list.
So, what is impossible?? in the context of singapore, I am not
surprise that in 2 years time, it will be $200++ and still got
taken and some jokers asking for it.
Let be frank, for the pass 10 years, Taxi trade had moved more
than what it had done in the previous 30 to 40 years. This show you
a fast pace situation Singapore is having, and it is still moving
at that speed and faster. Even cars are now travelling at speed
that can be hell in the 90s and 80s, such are the changes that one
have to adapt and evolve.
That is why it is essential as I had alway remarked, if can,
throw key and get a job that can upgrade you, accept changes, face
changes as part of your life, because TD is like it or not, a
vocation for the oldies like me and some other here. It is a
stagnation trade, higher fares equal higher rental, a zero sum game
between paxs and the taxi companies, TD get nothing, same return,
same steering, same kind of paxs, and same fish soup at cambridge
road.
So much so that we wish the young Singapore from the XYZ
group to join in before foreigners or new citizens come into
the picture, but to be fair to them, it is a full stop career, and
in time to come, others moved on, and we still holding the
steering. Unless Ah gong got some fortune left for you, TD will go
down the pecking order of the society norm. With no way out for
most, some turn to doing funny monkey business like my former
chief. That is a fact.
