Ya man , CNG at Jalan Buroh that refilling centre recently jack the price up . Due to some suphur stuff , the cost went up .

My friend told me , if u are on the OMO , in long run , it's so much cheaper compare to diesel .

he said , he already save at least $20 daily compare to my sonata , he can even handicap me 1 hour and end day we earned the same .

Found the logic ?

Poolman SG

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.

again , i consider it in long term .

1st , i really dun see crude oil price to decline , and i dunno if the crude oil prices remain that way , i can only foresee one fine day , crude oil to hit that USD200 bracket , and then what ?

Diesel to remain at $1.23 Comfort's price ?

I do not want to wait til the day , every cabby cannot tahan laio , one by one go CNG , and i have to Q for 1 year before i can get a CNG cab .

React now before others react faster .

Poolman SG

the only worry .... tat the CNG raise the prices base on the crude oil prices also .

Crude up , they up .

Poolman SG

what about applying for a Johor Bahru -Singapore taxi license ?

Most ideal , earn SGD , top up in Msia Rinngit .

By that time , i really dun need to use CNG much , petrol already cheap .

Hi, I just got my VL today and I will be appreciate if you guy can me a advice on which company prime taxi or Transcab or Comfort to choice from. As I like to go OMO since my wife sometime need to go for meeting in 1 to 5pm then I need to look after my kid who is 12 and 8 years old. Then I will be starting from 7am to 1pm later 6pm to 11.30pm.

As I know Honda Airware (CNG) for Prime taxi need to pay $5000 for 5 years but rental much lower $75 which is very tempting and for Transcab (Toyota Wish) $93 after deducted benefit which need 1 yrs contract. Is it worth to take prime taxi and monthly income will get $2000 ?

ZONC SG

Sorry is $1500 not $2000

helo zone,

OMO? 7am-1pm, 6-11.30pm… almost perfect timing imo… if can try to start at 445pm for second shift and pia to town… cos before 5pm no jam.. at 6pm.. everywhere jam and HDB no demand… i assume u stay HDB lah.. if you stay nassim then i nothing to say…

Prime must pay refundable 5K deposit… but you get 11k+5k back after 5 years. that’s all.

Transcab wish $93 nett? our poolman also thinking of that. How is the exact scheme like i.e. rental, rental free day, subisdied CNG pump location and pump price, bonuses?

My advice.. if you have some taxi experience, and u confirm going for long term… prime is best… but you still new leh… later you find not suitable… try comfort relief for few weeks… if like it.. take prime or transcab if the scheme is better loh…

once i also thought of taking prime as my private car plus taxi…

Monthly income? a very lazy taxi driver will get $1.5K. You do your own maths

Hi, ALN

I am staying Hougang. I think rental low like $74 for prime very tempting if base on $11000 over 5 years :

Comfort $94, prime $74 = $20/day (cheaper than comfort) = $7300/year if quit for 1 year maybe save $2000 ($7300-$5000) , furthermore CNG cheaper than Diesel, What u think worth for a try ?

Heard Driver from Transcab, T.Wish = $105 GST *365= $38325, Incentives = $355 per month*12=$4260

$38325-$4260 = $34065/365= $94 per month

I think act as a private car sometime good.

my friend told me alot of people 7am to 9am taking cab nonstop from sembawang MRT to chartered semi-conductor at woodland, it is worth drive all the way to there instead of taking customer to town with jam somemore?

ZONC SG

u mean as a relief we can quit 2 to 3 week without penalty and what about hirer, angry ? I think as a taxi driver more flexible for me treated as private car. Any suggestion morning heading to Changi Airport about 7.30am good ?

ZONC SG

But prime taxi waiting time 2 to 3 month. Transcab no idea as phone call not easy. maybe acting as non contract citycab for 2 month

TransCab wish is with gst $99.51 .

Mthly $260 if OMO , with relief $190 , and relief gets $70 .

I once calculated , Prime the 5 years contract fella regret , cos i calculated TransCab beneifts better .

Transcab
- rental 99.51365 = 36321
- benefits 26012 = 3120
- other benefits?
- Daily nett = (36321-3120)/365 = 91

Prime
- Daily nett (if 1 years) = [(74365)+5000]/365 = 88
- Daily nett (if 5 years) = [(743655)-11000]/(3655)= 68

Unless there are benefits like CNG discount or rental free day, Prime still much better leh

ALN SG

got typo earlier

Transcab
- rental 99.51×365 = 36321
- benefits 260×12 = 3120
- other benefits?
- Daily nett = (36321-3120)/365 = 91

Prime
- Daily nett (if 1 years) = [(74×365)+5000]/365 = 88
- Daily nett (if 5 years) = [(74×365x5)-11000]/(365×5)= 68

Unless there are benefits like CNG discount or rental free day, Prime still much better leh

relief can quit anytime anywhere... no f care...that is the meaning of relief... but leave on good note lah... if you tell your hirer you want to be your own hirer, very reasonable mah... you asking me whether worth it to go from houg to airport or semb at 730am? Of course not! At morning peak, when u start your engine, already got calls dropping on you like atomic bomb (if comfort lah)... not comfort also pple rushing to take your taxi to work... jam unavoidable... i think you should really drive as relief for at least few weeks then commit to be hirer...

Thank you

I was lucky to pass my test at the 1st sitting after spending 2 weeks on the online course. The most challenging part for many was the embassy locations. You really have to memorise the locations, and not only those in the Nassim areas. Pay attention during the excursion too. If you are conscientious then the other sections should not be a problem.

Good Luck!

ZONC SG

what is the rates of diesel at Transcab offer to own driver ? I think paymore attention on private estate otherwise should able past .
