Yah, if use GPS use it like streetdirectory. Key in the location, then look at the destination, like how u see the streetdirectory.

Roughly see where the place, then which road to turn in to that place. If still not familiar, look for landmark in your GPS like shopping center, bus interchange, MRT station, etc..

Unless u like one TD i know Yew Tee MRT also don't know which part of Singapore, then problem liao.

Don't like robot listen turn left turn right make u turn...

If follow what the GPS say forever will not learn one...

I use technology to make it faster, key in GPS find, see, go, Still listen on earpiece just in case, but i only listen when nearing destination.

Streetdirectory still use also sometimes, Google map also use, the app Singapore Maps also use, but i don't use all at once ah. Just see see, cos my mind a bit slow..

I can say newer generation of TD that always take MRT during their youth will have more problems with routes, cos most of the time underground, no landmark one, above ground also cant see road. Ask me take MRT i lost one, now with so many lines even worse. I young that time nothing to do like to take bus/cycle islandwide.The new generation army topo also use GPS, LoL..

Best is listen to pax, pax always know many shortcuts, the shortcuts important, cut here cut there thru carpark, small back alley to avoid jams and traffic lights! Save a lot of time!

i realise there is a routine of prefer routes by different paxs altho they may be staying around the same district or area

Lazy to explain in long detail....but more or less i kind of know their prefer route based on their destination.

Most destination that we send pax require the use of expressway...if can get that right the rest usually not a problem

Yah i also notice, old people prefer many small roads(shortcuts), younger sometimes i notice like to follow bus/mrt route, FTs shortest possible route many traffic light nevermind.

Like JW st.81, many younger locals prefer exit Pioneer North, even if they stay the far end of st.81, but FTs and older generation like to exit Corporation Road then go by st.71.

I only 4-5mths, still got lots to learn thats why i prefer sweep aimlessly. But keep getting places i know liao!

day shift damn dangerous to smoke in taxi one .... true , very easy kena snap one ..

I more like saying night cabbies .... even 6pm inside CBD , i also dun dare .

Only reaching my regular destinations , then i light up .

JoeRaj SG

1) Smoke in vehicle ( which smoking cabby dun smoke inside their cab ? )

2) Wear slippers (unless drive morning - then must wear shoes) ( this one i dun do , very uncomfortable )

3) Refuse cards routinely ( very common )

4) Speed (sometimes) ( if given a chance in highway , which cabbies dun go at least 20-30km/hr above speed limit ?)

5) Interview ( aiyo so many nowadays , if cdg sack this group , they will left with very little drivers )

6) Refuse calls (this not serious matter of choice)

7) Ignore pax waving frantically ( night drivers surely got one esp those play call one .)

8) Bypass taxi stand (of course I stay in lane 2, never in left most lane) ( no wrong )

9) F pax ( some deserve to get fucked )

10) Chase pax from vehicle. (of course 9 & 10 rare) ( this one i dun remember if i did it before )

1) Smoking - must see location. Airport, Nite Safari, TMFT, day time all no. Best is expressway.

2) Slippers - Again location and timing. I rarely go airport and at night. And must be ready for doctor excuse. (This is a 1 time excuse)

3) Speeding - must see pax. Female, old people, yaya type, Ang Mo etc these cannot.

4) Interview - again must see pax and location. Just outside CBD wanna interview asking for trouble, I dunno why some Tds do this. 2nd guessing important.

5) Cash only must explain beforehand and give excuse that terminal is cocked up. Not that you want to. Scold the machine or act blur, say dunno how to operate properly.

6) Refuse calls - this 1 standard - CDG calls 80 - 90% fucked up.

7) Ignore flagging pax - what to do - my eyesight failing, plus cannot stop, too dangerous might cause accident, bus stop etc etc.

8) Taxi stand - either press busy or never go left lane. Complain cannot jalan

9 & 10) Comes with experience and must know how to cover. And burden of proof is with them.

As I said so far so good. Touch wood - that's my head!

Haha

Like Jalan Teck Whye pax wanna go Clementi Ave 2 .... many will try to find a highway to Clementi , i no need ask , straight away Upper Bukit Timah Road up Clementi Road , no need ask .

Another like Serangoon Road , pax wanna go Hougang Ave 5 , dun need ask them which way lah ..... go straight all the way ....up flyover come down , straight only . I dun ask , best it's i dun pick , cos i know which way they prefer .
