Poolman : " Hi ! " ( I never asked where they go , they will tell me ! )

Pax : " Hi , i would like to go to XXXX Building at XXX Street near XXXX Road ."

Poolman : " Ok , so u like me go by which way ? "

Pax : " Anywhere will do ." or " Go by the shortest , cheapest , and fastest route "

Poolman : " OK "

Basically tat's the end of my part ...no more talking until they pay me $$$ .

yah, advisable for cabby not to talk too much…

i only chat with pax if they start first… otherwise, pax may think we ask too much or too talkative… e.g on the way to geylang, u want to ask pax what is he going there for?

got one pax go geylang, he asked me which lor got transvesite?... i just answered him politely but tonelessly…. that’s all… show any emotion, and you risk having more problem… haha

There are too many sucharges for us to keep track already. I guess some taxi drivers might be confused themselves. I don't frequently take cabs unless neccessary so I guess taking buses & trains, while you can, is still better.

I rmb taking a cab from Jurong West to Boat Quay, one way, costing me $22.50. That price can last me from Jurong West to Changi Village many many years back.
