PS2U SG

Like someone relied on GPS .

So one fine day ... a pax hop in .

"Uncle , Bugis Junction , pls do not use route with ERP ."

" Miss , which way u want to go by ?"

"I dunno , my friend tell me go by non ERP route , u should know , u taxi driver ."

Then how ?

Throw her down ? Take cab behind ?

She sekali complain , u go 383 Sin Ming Drive HQ drink coffee ?

Very free ?

Actually GPS can select ERP or non ERP route.

Same, can avoid toll(ERP) roads

If pax so specific, and still don't know the route, problem pax. Durian or no durian, I say take another cab.

Durian pax might be subscriber to Sunday Times. I will just say, I am new direct me please. If cannot, take another cab. You want to report, no problem, I have coffee powder. I intend to be a reporter for Sunday Times too. How much you earn?

Go buy Mighty Minds Street Directory. Inside got one CD rom. Install it on your PC. Just click on the short-cut and you can see all the roads and buildings in Singapore. This was how I learn before I got a GPS.Everyday after work go home and look thru where you travel that day.

My Gps is for me to look for short-cuts. Seldom use, just to pai swee and also to let pax know "New driver". Most of the time I very lazy to think. "sorry, which way u like to go" unless they give me a route sure jam, only then will I suggest another route.

In this trade too smart no good sure low income, must learn from Auntie Jade blur blur can earn more.

the trouble is the booking system fcuk up for TD,only favor the paxs.most of the time when i reach destination i can see pax taking another cab or else they cancel their calls anytime they like even though i almost reach destination!fcuk the booking sys!

Hi all, I just started TD as a super reilef . First day I kena 4 current booking one after another with only 2 mins idle. The most scariest one was I was at comfort transport sim Ming , I got booking at mayflower garden. How come so far I still get this booking?! I reach there around 14 mins due to road works. Lucky pax still there. Then I kena one booking when I turn in to cte , how to take ?! Sway I one booking rejected in my first day. Call mdt hotline very busy. What else I can do? Also is it normal for first day TD to feel very giddy after end driving for the day?

Tcsaaa SG

after end of shift, my body will vibrate when want to sleep..

directory SG

Bro, not all calls have to take...when I 1st started also eager to take call...but kenna a few $&#$(^ one...I aso wonder wtf I took the call...curse and swear while on the way..but as what the seniors said...if you want to take call...must be ready to have "no show" or "call canceled" while you are on the way.

how long you drove? if not feeling well..don't push it too hard for safety reason...slowly your body can adjust after getting used after a while..

Happy driving!

Reliefdriver4u SG

Learning to let go calls is like learning to let go pax when you need to go home / meal / toilet

And also need to learn to let go at 4.55 5.55 11.55 etc ... hahaha

Actually 11:55pm esp on weekdays is very good to take if in town because of the $3 - the starting fare is $3.20 + $3.80 (more depending on type of cab) = $7. If at 12mn it is only $3.20 + $1.60 = $4.80.

So between 11;55 to 12mn, can take.

But other than that as mentioned let go, CDG calls all usually lousy one. Decline decline decline until you get one that's within distance and practical.

StriveOn SG

Play with the 'Busy' button. When in a traffic jam or in the city, put on Busy. Rooftop still 'TAXI' but no incoming Current Jobs.

Learn how to sweep, that way you do not depend on their Current Bookings.

Else you learn from Chief, how to maximise. But better to have some Road experience before using their methods.
