i m not TD . pehrps the taxi company should
educate TDs to handle such cases instead of cry baby n
running to mummy's arms wenever u encounter such problems.
this is yr ricebow . learn how to handle yr problems n dun waste
public funds
yr time is money so does tat policeman who handle yr trifle
matter
Thats the problem your not a TD, last time i not TD i also think
how hard can it be. saying is easy, but when you are a TD it's
totally different. Reject pax get complains, reject too many pax no
income. Most drive taxi cos they don't want the stress of other
jobs, so when we get such pax, why stress ourself out. Just bring
to police.
Yes time is money, policeman time is also money, but like u said
only so little of such case refered to police if you compare the
number of taxi on the roads.

let me analyse the profession - 20,000 taxis on the road * 20
trips = 400,000 trips/day
say 20 of such case per/day = 0.005% . professional
hazard?
dun drive a taxi if u think this is too much for
u 
It's only on weekends at night u get such cases, i don't think
reach 20 of such case per weekend. Most of the time the police also
idle, you should see how happy when i called my NPC because of a
cat stuck in a car.
3 police car came down, one car 2 policeman so total 6 guys. My
neighbours all thought i did something really bad until 3 cars come
down, but actually me and the cops rescuing a cat.
I took my TDVL not cause i wanted to drive taxi full time at
first. But then halfway thru the course i got my retrenchment
letter.
Eventhough driving taxi is not for everyone, those who want to
understand more should just take TVDL, it's a good backup also.
Normally if u ask other cab drivers u will only hear the good
stories, you'll be amaze no matter how high u study, how good your
general knowledge, sometimes when u have passenger u have to be
humble.
U put "On Call" sign cos u got a call booking, pax still flag
you never stop they give middle finger. Don't know how many middle
finger i get since i start driving these 3 months. Most of the pax
we get speak to us with a tone of voice like we are some type of
scum. Especially FTs, pinoy, india and some ang mohs. But mostly
ang mohs ok lah. Pinoy and Indian think we taxi driver like cab
drivers in their country so they show no respect. Younger
generation Singaporean also show no respect.
Only one lady surgeon, a guy at Fuji Xerox that happen to handle
same government project as me previously and a banker talk to me in
a normal tone so far. Rest all talk to us as if we are their
slaves. Oh yah got one guy call me uncle then the GF scold him say,
" eh he not that old!" then the guy, "eh sorry bro!" LoL
