Correct me if I am wrong. But I believe all!! taxi companies tender out servicing jobs to private workshops. So all taxi companies are already doing a disservice to Taxi Drivers by charging 3 x rental and saving on maintenance by tendering out maintenance to the cheapest bidder.

Problem for the taxi driver starts when the cheapest bidder cuts corners on maintenance even further by many ways! of which some are revealed above by you.

Main Problems faced by the taxi driver are frequent breakdown even after regular servicing. If I am driving a regular car and it just came out of the workshop, I will go back to the workshop if there are still problems with it. Last thing I want is an argument with a Main or Senior Technician with regards to calling a Tow Truck.

Calling a Tow Truck costs money. If the car belongs to you, you call tow truck, you pay.

If you driving a TAXI and call a tow truck if the vehicle breaks down like as the TS described, you can still be charged towing service if the Main Technician can write a good report.

Bottomline is this. Taxi drivers are paying their dues. 3 times the rental of same cars. But taxi drivers get only one third the service.

Agree with you at the end that LTA and whatever should look into this matter before there are lots os sonotas on fire or taxi drivvers jumping off with their passengers.

Who is NTA?

National taxi association, I believe some trancab drivers would had joined them as member, their membership now stand at abt 13.500 nearly half of TD in singapore, it is the union of the Singapore Taxis. And I believe one of their objectives is to ensure that their member are not exploited with unjust and unscrupulous manner from their taxis companies.

But Like I said, they are not doing their job

Ok. So they do inhouse servicing and save money. But the cars still on fire whose fault? Can't be their servicing right! Must be TD backside too hot.

You should know by now that all these unions and associations have good names and some even charge fees, but nothing done when there is a problem. In some cases, better results can be achieved by writing in forum for advise. So far no updates from TS. hmmmm.

union or association is no use. when join them they will say got beneift. but when problem, they will say is company policy drivers already sign agree cannot do anything unless driver own hire lawyer own fight. but they will still send letter ask you pay membership because member is member, own case is own case, separate thing.

about the car after that last time, workship say is repaired, but now the car is back in the workship just again.

but now even new problems..the account depart call up chase rent, say must pay up even if car under servicing, no in use. they say company policy is driver must still pay full first, then their side workshop will auto update their record to put downtime back.

the car now in in out out workshop so many times in last 2 weeks, maybe drive only a few days? the driver already paid those few days drive, but the account still asking for full 2 weeks rent, say their system no show receive workship downtown update, so law by law is owe rent is driver own problem, not company or workshop problem. driver have no right ask company system update, its their job they will do own time own target no need driver question. driver job is to pay rent, drive or no drive up to driver, not blame the company or workshop the car spoil or servicing long. so if no pay the full 2 weeks rent even car under servicing, they may terminate driver and deduct from deposit totally including penalties.

and if driver complain keep spoil cannot drive, then its should be driver own intiative to change car earlier better to continue driving to pay rent. not company problem. and not their problem is they only have more higher expensive models more rent. if driver not want to choose, that is also out of company control. as long rent is still pay to today.

GreenBird SG

got people say, maybe this company trying to get drivers to pay first for bad taxi under servicing not in use, so they can pay their car loan to bank.

if driver not happy, they will then push more expensive rent models, if not penalty deposit.

but then after that, downtime got return or no return, is between company and driver, is big question mark. 2 weeks never update downtime, they already say their system says is driver no pay rent problem, not company or workshop problem. like that continue how?

Pay rent while car in workshop? Sound like Transcab cos they will only credit in your downtime after car is out for 2-3 days. CDG very efficient. Once my car down 2 days. 1st day down time is credit into my account the following days. Cos they count the downtime on a daily basis till 2359H and if car is not out on the second day money will be in your account on the second day. This system good. If not if cars in for 3-4 days where got so much money to pay rental?
