Taxis Driving Career

That time $92 is with GST 5% , now 7% is like u say , $93 something .

$2 off daily for vehicle exceeding one yr , $4 for the second yr , 3rd year i dunno , Premier haven't reach 3rd year .

Fully determine by age of Crown .

U pay advance also got further discount , like u paid $650+ before u drive , like they give u 2% off from $650 .

Poolman SG

No la .... i kena once , but i went Loyang told them : " Mine vehicle minor dent , do outside can liao ! Knock knock a bit , spray paint can liao "

They won't insist .... they better off , no need busy .

No such thing la , i paid $1000 in 4 instalments .

Poolman SG

Now .... laugh die me , they desperate for drivers , now we are a pampered lot .... like a baby .

we nowdays suka suka one .... bo chap siow liao ..

Si mi LTA , si mi enforcement we also no scared , want the key ? Take back !

Poolman SG

For those new " want-to-be " a taxi driver , take note ...

U know about that Security Deposit required to drive a taxi ? Some company $1000 , some $1500 , some $1200 ?

Ok .... Only Comfort and CityCab can be paid in instalments ..... like 6 times instalments or 3 times instalments .... can be negotiate .

The rest of the Taxi Coy is solid cash , no instalments .

So if ur money a bit tight , no need to try Smart , Premier or TransCab , no use .

Only Comfort CityCab can be instalments .

Not sure about SMRT .

Poolman SG

Discipline wise .... TransCab is the most lenient towards their drivers .

That's why if u are ganster type of drivers , join them , fighting no problem . Mr. Green

Poolman SG

My customer damn scared to take SMRT taxis , all new bird , go by which road , which expressways , which left , which right , all asked until destination , in the end she fed-up , said : " Tampines Mall u dunno how to go ? " Mr. Green

But i have admit .... SMRT service one kind of good , good morning la , good afternoon la .... want to laugh .

They new la .... until when they old bird laio .... knn they tired liao .

ALN SG

haha.. maybe those SMRT drivers are salaried type. can't be bothered about learning about efficient routes......

poolman, ask u har... which night shift weekday is the worst business? I drove tue once and i saw at 7pm suntec many taxis waiting for pax...but i lucky got one booking.. my pax came down from office and also look shocked why so many cabs... wasted her booking liao... Wink

Thu slightly better than tue but yesterday shenton way to suntec bloody jam... Evil or Very Mad

Fri is the best night... no need to look for pax too long.... drive also shiok... Any sonata drivers looking for relief for only Fri 5pm to 5am please let me know. Me very responsible relief one. Location negotiable as long as not in west or woodland/yishun. i got own transport. Very Happy

SMRT deposit now pay only $500.00. That all, the other $500.00 subsidied by SMRT

Poolman SG

I dunno really .... me very consistent , not much of a difference , will hit my 5pm to 12pm $180 collection target .

According to my colleague , they usually struggle on Monday ... some Thurday .... Wednesday got Ladies' Nite , so no problem for them .

For me , i hate Saturday .... cos must rush home to catch some soccer matches on TV , lost that revenue on Saturday . Mr. Green

Not only Suntec taxi Q for commuters , every taxi stand in town from 7.15pm to 8pm , it's like that one , got $2 peak hour and $1 city surcharge ma ...

I once was on a first in the Q , time : 7.58pm , one lady was waiting at the taxi stand , keep looking at her watch ... i knew what she thinking , so what i intent to do , 7.59pm , i will drive off .... go and take call better .

Maybe from my expression , she knew i buay song liao ... so she slowly come to my cab , slowly want to open the door , slowly this slowly that .... sekali a "booking" came in , i wind down my window , said : " Sorri hor , i "on-Call " liao " .....

Her face turned black like charcoal , by the time i accelerate off , taxi stand no taxi liao .

That was at Funan IT Mall .

Poolman SG

Back to your question , generally , Monday evening has to be the worst ... not because from 5pm to 10pm no demand , just tat by 11pm , no much demand , taxi has to Q-up for customers .... slow down liao .

Other days , the rush can extend til 12.00am sometime .

So is it SMRT cabbies get the salary every month & with year end bonus at the end of the year?

ALN SG

SMRT got this salary scheme.. guaranteed $800 profit/salary per month from the website... but not sure about the take up rate or bonus... but quite sure those on this scheme will drive dilly dally... no need to miah mah.. haha
