taxi uncles, don't drive taxis... what can they do?
gigolo? pull leather belt? suck c-ock? or cleaners?
remember most of them already retrenched at least once liao... they are once losers Mad Mad Mad

the moral of the story is don't try to be funny and hide when people want to take your cabs, reject customers, wait for booking.... obi good Laughing

Seven_Dragon SG

uncles... 99.99% of the people (used to take cabs one) decide "that's it"... no more cabs unless at least 4 people shared cabs or something very urgent...

u see lo... see still got $4000 or not Laughing

allulu69 SG

u freaking cheapskate Mr. Green

Poolman SG

U don't believe ?

Time will tell .

Those "That's it !" people always got their very last reason to say : "last time i take taxi "..... Mr. Green

I don't know where u find those 99.9% , but i did found the left-over 1% that is good enough to feed us $4k a month .

One thing for sure , i have to admit this , those people who took their own money to take a cab , is less .

Lucky us we still have many many who's company reimburse their taxi fare , banks like UBS , Credit Suisse , Citibank , DBS Bank .... many more people from Shenton Way , 99.90% can be reimburse after overtime .

Tuas industrial area has got thousands ....

Jurong Island has got many 24hours operating plants .

Suntec City also has got 5 towers , 2 Milennium and Centennial Towers

Too bad , i'm sad for those who still pay for their own fare after overtime .

Quit this job if the boss so stingy .

I foreseen $4k is still a modest amount .

Seven_Dragon SG

typical singaporean taxi uncle f***ing arrogant attitude

Manager433 SG

You are wrong. Poolman is a 'thinking taxi driver'. He got positive thinking. This type of driver wont die in Sg. Laughing

Seven_Dragon SG

that's only a fine line between "thinking" and "arrogant"

kinwashi SG

Yes, he is my idol Poolman.

With his encouragement from his private message to me, finally I go ahead with his personal advise.

I... take his word, he do not know me so do... I.

This kind of personality, you can seldom see nowaday it is rare.

I... am going for my online soon, as what he said got a Vacational Licence you got addon priviledge.

Time will tell. it is fun, take it as an hobby, spending time meeting more peoples, gain experience and money cannot buy the time you spend on the road.. haha Poolman.

Leave them alone if they are not interested with your teaching.

11.30pm ?

U know why ?

There's still a $3 carrot hanging by the clock !

That's why .

Last time b4 hike ?

Booking fee $2.50 .... no extra charge , where did the cabbies go ? Dinner break ! Really , i did that . Until 12am , then i came knocking at customer's door . Mr. Green

Comfort definitely lose out on signing-in cabbies , becos of benefits .

That's the price they pay for , liberalising the market .

Poolman SG

I got a feeling they're trimming down the fleet .... a bit like cut-cost . Overhaul into a small , but manageable , and competitive company .

Now they're too big to compete , too costly to compete .

Taxi is a business , where big doesn't necessary gaining control of the market , or upper hand .

I can sense SMRT Taxis joining the arms of Comfort-Delgro , like CityCab into Comfort .

They just sacked another of my colleague , who allege to have owed them almost 30 days of rental ... they towed away their cab . Crying or Very sad

Follow by a warning letter , to settle the balance rental owed within 7 days or face court summons !

Got a feeling .... they're keeping the good reliable drivers , they don't mind to lose a bit ..... They knew Comfort has got the oldest fleet , in terms of cabby's age group . It's time for them to re-group , or in long run , they lose even more .

That keep us a bit on our toe .

We must play our game right .

Any hiccups , the message is clear ... get it right or face the sack !

Poolman SG

Thanks for ur encouragement . Laughing

Driver's earning up , waiting times down

Based on figures provided by ComfortDelGro, Singapore's biggest taxi operator, cabbies are pocketing about $11 more a day, earning about $318.

This $318 is base on an average OMO driver .

Not half a shift .

If rental $105 , diesel say $40 .... wow this driver if hit $318 , his salary a day almost $170 a day . Well fair enough .

Meaning if i take averagely $170 a day , wow this chap going to earn $5100 per 30 days , without off day .

My colleague juz got $230 before deducting overheads from 5pm to 1am . He haven't finished yet , he finished at 5am .

If he packed off , at this time , let's calculate , his rental $54 , diesel $23 .... nett $153 , he off Monday , meaning if for 26 days , he'll be getting $3978 .

My calculation is base on just 5pm to say 1am , anything between 1am and 5am , i never count in .

I estimate this chap will be getting plus minus around there or more ..... cos Friday night we earned more ... someday good , someday bad ....

Hmm ..... for those cabby-to-be , can seriously think about driving a cab .

Now consider bad times ..... if T3 fully functional , AirAsia gets on track , Singapore Flyer starts at March 2008 , then non-stop conventions and exhibitons at Suntec and Expo .... F1 Night race ....

And both IRs ........ good times lies ahead !

I am not quitting for now . Mr. Green

stellazio SG

smrt and sbs really needa increase their frequency.

minister want population to hit 6mil, even with too much cabs around also no hope to go to work on time.

Finally there is 491H but there is 481. What is this HDB block run this way. Now I understand what is Taxi Driver job, alway got bombarded.
