Comfort has come out to debunk the idea that cabbies stop driving when it rains.

Red5xx SG

Logically speaking, even pte car owners, when it rain, if not on the road, they will wait for while for the rain to subside, if they are at home or in office, they will wait a while, so these goes back to Cabs, if I am going to start driving after a break or starting my shift, then suddenly it rain, I will just wait a while for it to subside to drizzling before driving off.

And if you talk about calls, esp when driving cdg, sure there will be call, pax also do not want to come out on the street because of rain, and for us drivers, it better to drive into some apartment or HDB and wait for the caller than making ourselves more difficult with the rain on the street.

Rain is nature, and naturally, you will get less of this and that, even at geyland or joo chiat, less chicks on the road, except one siao...fire..

Simple theories lah ....

Raining day .... sewage holes all kena water , all the cockcroaches start crawling out of holes to take taxis .

Am i clear about that ?

Poolman SG

And it can happened to anywhere in the world when it rains , taxis always hard to get .

Poolman SG

That's why i drive taxi ......

That's why i joined Lake View ...

That's why i dislike Comfort calls ....

That's why i drive a cab which my roof top can suka suka ON CALL .

Poolman SG

Comfort drivers all kena throw into those jam routes , where got taxis?

So i more clever , i handicap Comfort take all the calls first , wait for them one by one kena inside those jam roads , i slowly play my own game .

Poolman SG

Once rain , all jam ,taxi drivers all select those non jams places like HDB areas , town where got taxis ?

Coming into town all jam up .... how to come in?

Comfort drivers coming back to town and take a call and got thrown into jam roads again , and into ulu places again , and worst deliver roti again , they will scared one .

Poolman SG

Once it rains , Comfort everywhere also calls , they where got time entertain CBD calls ?

Poolman SG

Cos once it rains , taxi drivers became picky , scared kena go jam roads , paxes going toulu place , where got time?

In the end , call Comfort lor ....

So in the end , take calls kena jam ... all the way to ulu places .

Or even deliver Roti one by one ..... where got taxis???

Poolman SG

Drive taxi same ?

No lah fuck...

Different taxis different style .

Different taxi driver , different skills .

Poolman SG

Raining day ?

Lake View members where got scared one ?

Why we no scared ?

Cos our fate is in our own hands ...... We control our own destiny , not at taxi company's mercy.

We happy to take , we just take .

Not happy to take , we'll get pax to call back again

Simple ..... Those calls we rejected one , all goes to any other taxi which calls has no destinations .

Those good ones ..... we eat first .

Poolman SG

That is what happened recently , pax had to offer us more money to get a cab home .....

Yeah when it comes to rain , our LV pax know who to call if they needed a cab .... and need it fast .

Poolman SG

No formula can solve this issues ..... unless Singapore totally has got no taxi service.

This article http://sglinks.com/pages/7400654-computerworld-singapore-why-you-dont-get-taxis-in-singapore say it is because driver scared get into accident and company withhold $1,000, so all just stop at road side and wait for rain to stop.

Sure or not?

Not true. They don't stop at roadside. If they stop at roadside, there will be more accidents.

Other than that, it is true. If it is a rain storm, I will not drive.

So what! if there are more people waiting for taxis. Are they willing to cover my $1000 deposit and $2400 access fees in the event of any accident?

Taxi Drivers are Guilty! until proven Innocent. Very sure.

Yalor, even private car also stop, lorry also stop, container also stop, then traffic also damn slow, each taking their own sweet time, then suddenly someone dash across the road in the rain..also hv to jam brake. Then those cheapos who use to boycoot taxis and take BMW (Bus Mrt and Walk), suddenly all chiong or stuck at bus stop waving fanatically like someone passed away for cab, then no cabs, then complain lor.

Rain mah, even less TP, less police on the road. Even LHL can cancel outdoor appointment due to heavy rain, not to mention taxi driver, tio bo..
