Max ..... according to my old kaki , now night shift quite stiff
....
He started at 5pm , he actually fully charge during peak
hours n hopefully can fetch $80-$100 collections , then he
also hope after 8pm , dun kena ulu housing estate like Bt Pj , CCK
, Wland especially , Yishun , Sembawang etc .... He mentioned after
8pm , town simply is the only place where the demand is , but it
turned out that all cabbies think the same thing , so as in the
taxis all saturated inside town , esp. CBD area , everywhere taxis
.
I personally felt that the cbd city charge $3 has to be taken
out , at least for the time being . Until the economy and the
financial situation gets better . The CBD charge are actually meant
for the demand to curb taxi shortage for the 2 IRs , but now
since the 2 IR delay it's construction dateline , until further
notive , this surcharge should be taken out until the IR dateline
is finalise .
I'd oready foreseen as early as last year that the situation is
not any good for taxis when i am driving , worst when rumour that
global economy will be in recession , and it did really hit us ,
earlier as they'd forecast .
I left , even if i dun go , i expect my wages to go down 20% at
least .
$3000 , off $600 away , balance $2400 .
Rising cost on food , grocery and the rest , i dun think driving
a cab can do me any good .
But one thing i actually dun expect , the diesel cost went down
so much , i expect the diesel cost to remain .
Good luck to u people .
