Hey brothers and sisters,

I am considering to switch from SMRT Epica to CDG Sonata. According to the contract, I only need to pay $50 to return after 6 months.

5 factors affecting my decision.

1) Daily Rental.

SMRT Epica daily rental is $115.56 inclusive of GST. Hearsay CDG Sonata daily rental is $108.00 (+GST)?

2) Fuel Cost.

SMRT Epica can travelled about 10km per litres of diesel. Hearsay CDG Sonata can travelled about 12km per litres of diesel?

3) Cab Bookings.

Hearsay CDG has more cab bookings than SMRT.

4) Starting Fare.

Some Pax perfer CDG Sonata (3.20) than SMRT Epica (3.40). I have encountered a few cases.

5) Payment System.

CDG has e-voucher and cabcharge. Seems to have more advance payment system than SMRT.

Do you think I should switch from SMRT to CDG?

Bro, I live in Woodlands. Attended TDVL course in SMRT's woodlands depot.

So, when the offer from SMRT comes, take first think later. 6 months is not too long.

CDG at Sin Ming.........nothing better than centralize..........

But if really you switch to CDG, request your servicing either at Braddell or Sin Ming..........or else Changi Loyang, too far from your home.........lol

Bo sa la 1 la............don't think, just switch............

1) Daily Rental.

SMRT Epica daily rental is $115.56 inclusive of GST. Hearsay CDG Sonata daily rental is $108.00 (+GST)?

$104 like that....

2) Fuel Cost.

SMRT Epica can travelled about 10km per litres of diesel. Hearsay CDG Sonata can travelled about 12km per litres of diesel?

Ya confirm use less diesel and cheaper diesel @ $1.14

3) Cab Bookings.

Hearsay CDG has more cab bookings than SMRT.

No need hearsay...this one confirm!!!!

4) Starting Fare.

Some Pax perfer CDG Sonata (3.20) than SMRT Epica (3.40). I have encountered a few cases.

Not necessary but some is because of cab charge/e-voucher....

5) Payment System.

CDG has e-voucher and cabcharge. Seems to have more advance payment system than SMRT.

Yes this is true. For example in CBD every taxi stand long queue of taxi. So will have advantage of cab charge pax booking taxi. Go ulu place like Tuas at night also got alot of cab charge call. And best is the cashless next day settlement for all type of cards.

Yeah, after 6 mths only pay $50 according to contract. But whats not in the contract? Hearsay any tiny scratch or dent will be borne by u..so just gotta be careful here. If can, patch up whatever scratches before returning.

We had told MMO those differences before he signed up the SMRT Chevy .....

But he said he already decided taking up the Chevy ..... cos he has got something like regulars and prepared those name cards to built up his business .

Now he realized ?

Drive SMRT and join T jurong radio taxis ..... not the best match .

If Tm Jurong less calls , SMRT cannot help .

But with CDG , if Tm Jurong less calls , CDG surely can help .

Poolman SG

But i thought it's not ideal to join Taman Jurong ...... their Old Birds are damn solid one , new bird where can fight ? Smell their diesel only

Not a bad idea to join CDG .... and concentrate on just doing CDG's jobs , no need any talkie yet ..... trained until solid solid liao , then rejoin back .

My Tuas knowledge was trained by Comfort .

That's not a secret .

Plus a bit of our own effort mastering Tuas .

Poolman SG

Taman Jurong calls only saturated in Gul Circle and Tuas areas ....

Dun learn too much one .

No point learning Tuas where other parts of Sgp is equally important , if not more important .

CDG is island wide training .

Poolman SG

It's also not a bad idea to try out all taxis in Sgp .

I am on the way there ...... to drive all taxis , hahahah
