Due to the nature of my job , i took a lot cab , most cabby I spoke to are considering the return the cab after CNY .. think the current problem will be solved cos less cab on the road means less competion and

good new for comfort is if 15 % of pple return their cab

They lose 1500 * $100 per day = $150,000 per day .congratualtion !

Good comfort need to be taught a lesson Rolling Eyes

Ferret SG

harros.

think carefully.

if less cabs on the road means we have to wait longer for cabs...

I-like-flings(m) SG

got cab but cannot afford = no cab but can afford .... got different meh? Laughing

Ferret SG

was there a mention abt reducing rates ?

Poolman SG

I always communicate with my chief thru email ....

I already warned her due to the new fare structure , many relief tan bojiak , relief will quit , when relief quit , hirer in trouble !!!

I also warned her those booking-taking drivers will also quit for other company , like Premier Cabs , who also got quite strong booking base .

I also warned her after 18th jan , when the year's first benefit will be given . many cabby will take the $$$ and fu-ck-off .

I also lastly warned her : Do not try to increase the fuel subsidise , and up the diesel , the last weapon they can have to keep us .

Poolman SG

We cabbies drove a cab , and has actually waited for those Big Days .

Days like X'mas Eve , New Year Eve , and CNY .

So not surprising , after CNY , more will quit for greener pasture .

I ever mention here , once after CNY , i'll be off to Pattaya for the sun , the sand , the beach and the nude !!!

After 5 long years experience , once after CNY , the demand for taxis slow down for about until April .... then the "chart arrow" goes up !!! If not from February to March end , arrow point downwards .

Comfort expected that , that's why they move the hike to X'mas season .

Hi Poolman,

These are valuable information from your experience in which you have gathered over the past years. I am contemplating getting a vocational license but based on what you have just said, will it be a right timing to obtain one now - taking the lessons and the wait for the result.

Thank you for your time.

wah u actually know the person who is a decision maker on hikes.

so wat u wanna do in thailand?

EarlNeo SG

Dun understand why this is any good new? More cabbies quit = more ppl jobless.

Less cab dun mean cab fare will be cheap. So now if compare to pre hike, just as hard to flag a cab but yet cost more. Worse if u need to pay call booking just to get the overly price cab!!!

Does Comfort earn or lost pprofit affect us in anyway directly?

FireIce SG

this uncle behind saying to his fren.....

maurizio13 SG

ispyyy SG

I think those cabby will not return cab after CNY... They just say say only... Think abt it... if they dont drive taxi, wat can they do at their age to earn as much as driving cab ???

Gasfene SG

less cabs on the road=less congestion.

Y_Shun SG

taxi lou like poolman cannot earn lor Laughing

newcomer SG

got arm chio?

maurizio13 SG

aiya, those taxi drivers also poor thing lah, also not they set the prices.

can only blame those at the top, never drive taxi b4, don't know market, yet anyhow set prices.

ALN SG

taxi is not a job. it is a business. if business is bad, they will lose money if they continue... i would return if i am losing money (or not making meaningful sum) and driving long hours at the same time... might as well be a clerk in air con

^tamago^ SG

ppl wun keep losing money just so that u can get to work on time. Sad

this is the death of taxis as a mode of public transport, and the death of MRT as an world-acclaimed efficient mode of transport cos u can't even boarding the fcuking first train when u arrive at the platform like 5 yrs ago.
