Tamp mall to flora road (off loyang ave) Sat afternoon:

Straight forward: Tamp 4-Tamp 7-Loyang… but jam around Tamp Mall… blood boiling… I risked Tamp 4 – Tamp 5 – PIE – Loyang Ave… kena f by pax… but me still happier… haha…too many traffic lights going by direct route…

Town to East Coast Seafood:
ECP exit marine parade correct… but service road too many hump and road hoggers… so i will just risk taking the M.Parard to Airport .... U-turn , i go by Parine Parade , not T Katong for me , for sure . bedok exit… I observe… if drive fast and no jam… pax usually wont feel longer and complain…

East Coast seafood to town:
Enter ECP near Fort road entrance or nearer to Bedok entrance?.... this one me confirm wont ask… just whack bedok entrance cos much faster

Parkway Parade to Airport:
Make a U turn then enter ECP at Marine Parade/siglap or go straight and enter ECP by Tanjong Katong? u should know my style liao… haha

Marine Parade exit , no T Katong for me . No Siglap , maybe Marine Vista better .

Poolman SG

Yes la of course Seafood centre go town surely use Bedok … knn , u go around also no problem , go town pax usually tourist or business people .

Poolman SG

Tampines Mall to Flora is correct : > Ave 4 , Ave 7 ….. Loyang .

clementi road from bukit timah to Dover ACS.

I asked pax, turn left into commonwealth first or turn left at dover road… she said see the traffic light at clementi road-commonweath junction first… haha…

so sometimes i will also decide last min depending on lights… esp those turn right type…

and peak hours, if can, avoid turn-right type… common to have long q and q 2 times… blood can boil if you are the hungry type… haha

I never asked , Dover Road .... i know i am right .

Why?.... I, had came across from this few months driving Taxi in my mind, along the road i cruising whichever routes with the Busy sign or Change shift, Look… along the road, still paxs showing hand signal they want a cab. But a as cab driver inside the Taxi, i really puzzle without an answer. Sometime pax are figthing among each other, to get into the cab first, this kind of Kiasu syndrome did you ever encounter alway. What is your comments. But why? are they still jumble mumble in many way of available in forum or paper about we Taxi drivers. Actually we are solving their tranportation need and we provided them. So what wrong as a Taxi driver part.

From Simei st 1 to Woodland Checkpoint.

Usually Guru ALN where will you start your journey.

ALN SG

eh pool, kampong bahru u 100km/h?... if towards St james direction, got one bend very steep hor…wau u can…reminds me of the other forumer Moh…another racer… haha

ALN SG

parkway to airport if take marine parade exit always long q to turn right into ECP… if take amber then ECP…. very shiok…zero traffic light…

ALN SG

But a as cab driver inside the Taxi, i really puzzle without an answer. Sometime pax are figthing among each other, to get into the cab first, this kind of Kiasu syndrome

just demand and supply… after midnight, opposite happens…one pax flag, 3 cabs fight to get pax…

but if me taking a cab, i wont want to wait too long… if got long pax q, i will either call a cab or take train… if demand so hot until cant even call a normal cab, i call merc cab…

If take cab still must q for 45 mins, take cab for what?... Similarly, if take cab still want to take shorter but slower route, take cab for what?

ALN SG

Simei st 1 to woodlands checkpt? i see checkpt got jam first or not… if got jam, either marsiling mrt or reject… haha

1. Fastest: simei road-U turn-PIE-TPE-SLE-BKE or simei road-upper changi east-TPE…

2. Shorter (slightly only): xilin – tamp 5 – tamp 1 – tamp 10 – TPE – SLE – BKE

3. Shorter (slightly): Simei road-Tamp 2- Tamp 9-Tamp 12-TPE-SLE-BKE

But I sure whack route 1, dont waste time

So which other way u took, mr kin?

ALN SG

Risk…Just happen yesterday at about 4.50pm oready put up my sign Change Shift just hantam Punggol. Wow too good to believe one pax along the route at Ang Mo kio st 53. Hand signal T3. Guru ALN like this kind, do you still take the last order. Will be returning the taxi at 5.20pm. your comment….Normally can you make it with Sonata this marathon runner machine.

4.50pm AMK to T3 to sengkang? i confirm reject…

why? cos at most peak surcharge only 10mins… not much… and empty back…

some more, estimate will reach sengkang at 530pm.. eh day time leh… i wont go beyond 110km/h… if your hirer collect exactly at 5.20pm, not nice also lah…

so kin, did u whack? relax and home early to look at your crystal better lah… haha….

From Simei st 1 to Woodland Checkpoint.

Usually Guru ALN where will you start your journey.

Walan , U-turn at Tampines St.32 , PIE>TPE>SLE , exit Wland Ave 2 , Wland Centre Road .... BKE ? No la , later still need to go back Wland Ave 3 , Wland Centre Rd , LPPL .

Poolman SG

If you observe a bit ... those areas is usually call-zone , many bookings type of area , like Yishun , Wland , CCK , BT PJ , Bt Batok .... and it happens only in the moring peak , and also 3pm to 4.30pm timing .

Poolman SG

eh pool, kampong bahru u 100km/h?... if towards St james direction, got one bend very steep hor…wau u can…reminds me of the other forumer Moh…another racer… haha

what bend ? sonata leh bro .... released a bit accelerator , negotiate the bend abit , then zvroom again , usually after 1am , taxi is king on the road . Last time i use to curse cabbies before i am one , now i know why .

ALN SG

when i speed, me only scared of TP… heavy fine or worst licence kena kan tong… cannot drive taxi, damn ley chey

my hirer… defu… 50kmh limit… drove 90+.... kena fined few hundred bucks…one week income gone… super sian…

...accident me not scared cos me steady driver and super alert when speeding … unlikely lah…haha

Emerald Park .... Sir where too Emerald Park...You mean Emerald Hill behind Emerald Shopping. Wow Taxi driver how come you do'nt know where is Emerald Park. Just to confirm you where is the location you wanted to go. Come...on Man.... you should said Ganges Road or Indus Road than i know where you want . Never use this kind of big name Emerald Park. Lucky me know.... where, is a Far East project Condominium just next to the Petrol station. There are so many condos and names so this are not the outstanding and we must memeorise it, in this ulu place not much Taxi drivers will know. Sometime you need, this kind to encounter. Just to make satisfaction (you ask for it). unhappy journey.

ALN SG
