Actually LV or any other licenced call centres are good,
one way or the other, they help to ferry peoples around
specifically, LTA knows that they need these calls centre to dilute
the taxis population, and also, give pax alternatives and better
choices in times of needs. If not they would not had given the
licence.
But key of LTA wanted is control, not that call centre are not
audited doesn't mean they can go out of control and LTA will still
go on and give them licence year after year out of old time sake
and let the systems and structure rot by itself, as an authority
and the in charge, they need to put a stamp on it.
They are not going to mind where is your customers or your
coconut trees, that is your business of operation, what they mind
is the system and structure of Taxis industry in Singapore, if
anyone goes beyong the limitation, they are really to kick ass, no
jokes, and as usual when thing happen, call centres and their
bosses will just act blur, like any other kind of jobs, the workers
or the drivers are the best lamb to slaughter.
So, the ever truth say or horse say in forums, nets, kopitiam,
public and so on about I can get this amount and that amount on top
of the normal amount is not going to help we, the taxi brothers
much, it will only stir up the picture and get attention, which is
bad for us.
And like going for a spa or massage with girls or simply eating
some food, we must alway know how to wipe our mouth, nobody is
going to know what is the understanding transaction between
pax and you, if you wipe your mouth, but if that pax is a LTA
officer, then I can only wish you the best of your endeavour in
near future.
