Editor also missed out on those private booking apps developed by some private developers like Tan Kin Lian .So booking apps can , license taxi kisok cannot...

in Taxi Driving, we had a Price Chart, it is supposely fix price

any amount that goes below it, its under charge

but sadly, there isn't any punishment for under charging

any amont that goes beyong it, its over charge

it is made simple to understand over charge, as long it is beyong the stated price list, it is over charge.

$8 is for 1/2 hr or more advance booking, if it is less then 1/2 hr and you charge $8, it is over charge, even payee agree. that simple.

charge, is an amount the payee are commited to pay, payee should not be made, at any circumstances to commit to any higher amount.

LTA is not gonna listen to any of your stories, what helping people lar, what making people ease of getting cab lar.......etc.

want tell stories, tell the judge, the best is by a good story teller (the lawer).

"Charm liao" like this, my company CDG is guilty of doing that.

Many times, I got advance call 30 mins away and each time, followed by call from Control Centre asking me if I can go there earlier and clearly stated that customer willing to pay the $8 advance.

Like this I can go tell LTA stories?

Bingjames SG

Maybe now must practice like buying HDB flat. COV cannot get loan.

Once pax board, ask if agree on the $XXX, if yes, pay the amount first then start meter.

Reach destination - receipt printed without $XXX.

Can work? I just taken my medicine liao.

Last night was a real disappointment.

Thought I cannot under estimated the power of the Straits Time. Last time, put the MDT on BREAK mode, decide to give LV full support. Was expecting nothing less than a chaotic night. Minimum, at least 8 blue notes.

Remember when I was in food business, just a little writeup in the Sunday Times food column, the next day, the queue was dam bloody long. Need to prepare 10 times the usual amount and every bit and pieces was sold out within 3 hours. And that queue lasted for one whole month and since then, there is always queue.

That's what I am expecting last night.

Anyone see any difference? IMHO, not a single bit.

Just like a normal Friday, busy but still manageable. Honestly, the effect of the writeup was ZERO.

Apart from the regulars, maybe one or two new destination, that all.

What u guys think?

CDG, the company and you, the driver, should know the Price Listed

The company can be a fault to offer you an illegal deal, it is up to LTA decision to deal with them or not.

The company can handle the punishment, even given a millon dollars fines, they still around in the business.

What will happen to you, as an Taxi Driver.

How much load (fines), we can handle?

BJ, i think this is like army, oh the general is coming today, all area cleaning and start to look smart, haircut, clean drain, toilet, do parade rehearsal, march from morning till afternoon, then the general arrived, walk pass just like this, smile and wave, and fark off he goes...then we go back to normal, play cards, take MC, sleep, plan for friday nite out and weekend event on where to chiong, budgets, where got bak bak girls...

Bingjames SG

wah lao, dam chim man! can talk simplier terms or not? This chimology words are meant to impressed or confused ppl or shows how high helicopter u are?

are u saying after the writeup, lesser calls is expected as ppl want to keep a lower profile?

I dun feel that leh. We still dealing with the same calls as per normal.

What I am driving at is that more people might get to know LV and more calls is expected to come in now that ppl know where the lobang is.

LOL!!!

got this strange feeling u quoting the wrong post right?

somehow dun feel the link between it and wat u talking abt.

Bingjames SG

anyway, this is just to highlight that this "advance now" feature even big boys like CDG is also doing. So nothing new and writing abt LV is no "wiki leak" style exposure.

Wha lao, now driving casket van, what to show off, waiting for burning, then siew kang liao..got a cheap laptop to post only, last time they call it notebook, knn, people sell only $30, when i use, people also laugh, knn IPad, galaxy tab liao, still use notebook...hahaha..

What I am saying is that LTA is putting up a show, some jokers might have complained to them and they hv to release it somewhere, of course there is no lesser demand on it, people just give me $50 ang pow for good come good go, you think I got report LTA or show to other ar??? mai siao lah, knn, but at the moment, since it is on paper, the advice is slow down abit, or be...careful, after awhile, as usual, all start again.

If Govt can open casinos and earn dirty money, we knn, use our hand and sweat to earn, cannot meh???

.............as a TD, we are at the mercy of the authority.......

Criminal case, we got CID.........

And if you happen to drink kopi at LTA, those bastard treat you like a criminal, they are the CID of Taxi Industries........

My advise, don't talk big.......tio than you zai pain, than you will realize, who is actually your boss who provide you the basic rule to ply on the road.......

Rbs70 SG

I had hinted so many time, when 1 say very strong in CBD area at night...........

Meaning what? Any call also got takers? Regardless of location.........

If not, you are just taking your lj ka your head...........

The authority need "citycab" to be around?...........

Don't have a big head, don't wear a big hat...........

Try calling CDG, I can pay $20 plus meter, just give me a cab.........if CDG allow that, Mercedes cab jiak sai loh.........FYI advance for Mercedes cab is $18 plus meter, is official.........normalsine doing limousine job?.........

Think about that...........

bowah SG

Now you know why comfort offices are near LTA, there is thing call lunch + meeting + networking.

No quality one throw back to CDG

underthewater SG

Dun get run over like a dead ant.

Poolman SG
