Red5xx SG

SilverChap SG

dun feel like talking is ok... at least show some kind of acknowledgement like nodding your head or say "ok" or lazy at least say "k"

Poolman SG

Poolman SG

i also silent mode .. . if kena go woodlands , u think i wil talk alot ? buay chute seah liao

benqepson SG

i agreed with poolman. I just kept quiet during the journey. Nothing much to talk about.

SilverChap SG

my point is not telling td to talk... acknowledge is what i mean.

Normally, I will reply with "ok"...........than will reconfirm again "turn here, sir?"....

Than, I cannot don't talk......because got pax on board, my radio set will off, use to it.........

Too silent, I will go crazy, unless is limo pax........the rest, I will try to start a conversation, especially chio bu.........

So for me, most time is pax choose to maintain Silent Mode..........

Rbs70 SG

I will know when to stop talking........

When pax start to play with his/her handphone, when pax start to look outside the window, when pax start to close his/her eyes, when pax start to talk to you in a tone like he/she is irritated, when pax start to give you direction, when pax remain silent while I keep talking............

If nobody on board, will find kakis to talk on talkie, for me last time, no talk really will die........

foolsh_2000 SG

how to talk to passenger,if after giving directions,they say thank u!that means they r not interested in starting a conversation!

benqepson SG

bro u are also a taxi driver. if your expectations are high take the crysler. They will talk to you all night long. face it. its like that one. why u wanna change things which is part of the culture. they just want the money after they provide the service. why make it so complicated.
