Talking about day..Day shift.
As a beginner, you will find hard to move around.
Why?...on the road...all are less than ten years experience,
more than ten years experience. All got (ang kong) meaning they got
their own turf...cause most of them are hirers and very tough and
robust intercept paxs with you with their machine the taxi. we will
just a bystander.
Like me..first new like sotong...where to find my turf...taxi
stands, hospitals, mrt stations, shopping centers. where there is
available chance to catch your pax there are many taxis... there
those season drivers there.
So...as time go by day by day...just wasted more diesel and look
see look see. And today not a probelm. You name it i will fullfill
you, you just pay the fare, i will bring you there.
Dun worry..skin must thick...must be brave can or cannot, just
go.
Now pax on board...destination not sure, asked again.
like example...belly street.
you know negro...knn their english the most difficult to
catch...talking like singing RAP
Something loud sometime soft...there was this negro...belly
street. repeated 4 to 5 times than i catch no ball from jurong
shipyard.
Where? belly street Where? belly street.
Where? service apartment street where? belly?
Near where... I don't know. Than how to go, already on
board.
One more time belly street...near belly point.
Knn catch ball liao...Valley Point...Ok ... River Valley.
yayaya. Valley suite.
So..something sotong also got their day...another point
and destination gained stored into your database.
Never mind today no collection tomorrow try again, as time go
by...
some knn new driver everyday only know how to calculate. Only
panic just need income.
You must know set a target...one month or two month get yourself
to lose some time and some money...later when you are ready on the
market...income, your strategy how to run your route than that is
your sucess.
Timing.
Morning 5am to 6am...early birds..this are all the sotong pax
either wakeup late to work or rushing to the nearest connection
like company transport provided pickup point, all maybe hawkers and
various other.
Morning 6am to 8.30 am...this slot like kaleidoscope... many
pattern and many kind of colours pax...students, office workers,
blue collar workers, teachers, factory workers and many many...but
one thing...those knn (ang kong with tatoo) hirers are there.
You must know how to hander them, and must know how to dogfight and
intersept them.
Morning after 9am to 12pm...mostly hospital, banking, offfice
matter, company appointment meeting, customer call, going to work
shopping center personnel, marketing housemakers.
Aiya..most of the hirers will be resting having their coffee break
or early lunch...this is a good slot...i will be rounding when they
are not there, plenty of catches. So like this kind my strategy
from my own experience.
Afternoon 12pm to 5pm.
Basically, the sun is on your top, meaning very hot...so where
will you go...housing estates not much...so Q at taxi stands or
waiting for calls or sometime, tikam tikam on some routes you think
it protential...that is all about day.
But as I told before a famous cook used the ingredients and the
method of cooking and teaching during the cookshowto the
audiences.
follow... the dish may not be like the famous cook that
delicious.
So I just talkcock only, never follow... it could be
wrong...hahaha
Just take it as a guide.
