Economic is not as good as last time, so you tends to see a
downward trends in your earning, unless you put in more hours, but
that will be extra work and stress.
When expatriates first arrive here, they spent happily, then end
up monthly see less money, after some time, they become like
locals, and spent like locals, so you will see less tips, and also
less flagging for cab when there are MRT and buses.
But not to worry, our land is still a haven for most rich
peoples and certainly, a good tourist spot, and as we increase our
main population to 6 millions plus the ever increases of tourists
and those foreigners' relatives visiting our PRs, new
citizen, WP holders and expatriates here, transportation
industrial is still very much a booming one both short and long
term in concern.
However, thriving in Taxi driving are alway compensated by the
ever increase of rental and fuel prices with newer cabs, and that
is where TD earning is still very much in stalemate whereas Taxi
companies are booming with good annual profitable reports.
The end result is therefore, for a TD, who is the frontline
customer servicemen, the driver, the user and at the same time, the
renter and the fuel user, would end up only having a faster
vehicle, better seating, more comfy interior, but still have to
hold steering while taking in almost the same earning if not
less.
