I heard Transcab have incentive every month $260 on top also have $300 for pumping petrol provided rental not more than 5 day. It rental is $99.51 as quite...

Poolman SG

How about pumping illegal diesel? Heard there was some trucks ard if u know how to find from those malaysian tankers

knn better not , their diesel not EuroV , not healthy for our engine .

Just saw SHD71D. Bright red livery.

i read that CNG price increase from 1.18 to 1.49 per kg since May this year… like petrol monopolistic pricing…. knn

Poolman SG

if we take Transcab can got fuck-up by those monopoly , then we only need to tahan 1 year , then see what option we have .

At the end of the day ... i actually lose nothing much , only those taxi company who paid $60,000 over a new taxi , pay for it . Coz they have got no taker .

Like Premier Skoda now .... no taker , i Skoda $50,000 , imagine 10 taxis lying there .

ALN SG

skoda really a bad choice for premier… does it look like a luxury cab to you?....must consult me mah…haha…

but eh if you quit comfort and then re-join after a break, you will lose your cheaper rental right?

anyway the wish is a 7 seater car… so 6 pax can take your wish at normal fare?

me looking forward to CNG pump in serangoon north… transcab also suitable for pple at my area cos their pump is in defu.

Poolman SG

but transcab less booking?

Comfort alot meh ?

Poolman SG

No doubt Comfort has more bookings , not necessary will generate more income .

Eg ..... me at bencoolen , tey throw me booking at Tekka market , me turn a big round go Tekka , waste diesel , and time .

Extar $3.50 , nett $2.97 .

Whereas i can picked one CBD customer on the spot , save time , save diesel and more money , nett $3.00

Call ? For fuck ?

Poolman SG

Also no doubt industrial area like Tuas has more calls , but taxis also alot bidding one job , so call for fuck ?

Poolman SG

I calculated , June month i paid about $37 cablink charge .

As in 74 bookings .... per day i got about 2.84 jobs .

3 jobs average , i got extra only $9 .

But CNG , i will save at least $20 on fuel .

300km , CNG about $12

300km , diesel about $37 .

$25 difference .

300km is maybe only for Monday til Thurday , friday impossible i go anything below 300km .

380km at least

Poolman book your red wish already?

Must deposit how much? any contract?

ALN SG

eh pool, CNG is $1.49 per kg or $14.9 per 10 kg.

10 kg full tank can go 170km

meaning 300km CNG will cost $26 compared to $37 diesel … only $11 difference leh… still must pump 2 times per shift

Definitely there will be a fuel cost saving when using CNG compared to diesel, plus the added bonus of lower rental rate. But CNG is also a oil derivative and the price will follow closely the prices of other types of fuels too. It will not remain stagnant.

Also, becos of the limited range of CNG, there is much downtime travelling to and fro the refuelling station (say 30 mins) + the queueing time (say 15mins), twice per shift. If 1.5 hrs is wasted every shift, its equals to 1.5 x $30 per hr = $45.

Hmm..food for thought.
