You may say it is easy,just tell the operator the
road name,building name or the landmarks around us.But sometimes,we
are at Neither here Nor there.
Eg,On 6 Aug morning just befoe 9am,due to MRT massive
disruption,i was forced to call a cab from Jurong East MRT to my
destination,Jurong Port Road.
I called Taxi company A,operator asked:"Your
location?"My answer:"Bus stop at Boon Lay way just behind Jurong
East Bus interchange."
Operator:"You cant say like that,you
make people confuse only.,you just tell me the lamp post
Number."
So i proceed to see the lamp post and told
the lady lamp post Number."Lamp post Number 70".
In less than a min,she reply no cab,which i was expected.
I proceeded to call Taxi company B(Transcab),i told the
operator lamp post number,she replied me i cant do that,so i
repeated my exact location again(bus stop at Boon Lay way,behind
Jurong East Bus Interchange),finally i got my cab in 5 mins
time..
So my question here ,is there a best
way to describe my location?
