Tired of being short changed LITERALLY any solution

Taxitemp12 SG

This has happened to me about 8 times in 4 months , mostly Ang mo Females , once had to let go of whole 35$ fare , they flag you or oncall sit in your cab tell you destination , you drive follow their instructions (if any) reach destination press meter tell them the fare and ask if they need reciept answer "no" and pretend to go through things in purse till the time ( i have now made a point to look at their eyes) till MDT clears then say "oh Uncle i was meaning to tell you i want to use "Nets" or "Credit card" at that time there is no way that i know of to use either as meter already clear so is MDT then they give you cash short 2 to 4 S$ saying sorry uncle , now if this happens once or twice ok but now to frequent today oncall Angmo lady did the same short change me S$2.50 now thats S$ 0.20 then the booking fee , is there any way to charge fare through Nets or Credit card once the MDT and Meter is clear , I drive Blue any help for senior bro will be highly appriciated not to mention to all TD bros to watch out ask before press meter cash or charge

bowah SG

Wait for them to pay then press to clear the MDT lah. Slowly, now ang mo having deep financial problem, you can also go to history to retrieve that amount

Taxitemp12 SG

Reterving the amount is no problem but cannot use nets machine anymore it give card error or input error , i only press meter once it automatically clears the meter and MDT after few seconds , is there any way to use nets machine on retirived histroy ???

Angwk7118 SG

can still use nets or credit.

what you do, press start meter again like for a new trip and then after that press stop. then follow to proceed to charge their nets or credit card

after you swipe/tap the card machine, remember manual key the fare amount and enter, this one you should have learn in your MDT class. but of course details of trip time and distance all will zero

Angwk7118 SG

if they need a receipt with details, then follow issue a manual receipt,

Important thing is to be able to collect fare from them, also take note, if what ever happen again, bring them to the nearest ATM machine to draw cash, remember, sometime your cashless machine may breakdown, also go and find out, CDG cashless machine got a few spot cannot receive signal, so must process and key in extra before dropping the pax

Angwk7118 SG

i never let pax short change me, remember you got every right to collect full fare from them. some act blur, but you must be smart, must learn to handle them like pretend to call your call centre and report pax short change and being nasty etc. learn some tricks while being in this trade, read thru the forum and you may find some

these expats got their own forums and sometimes they kpkb TDs whenever they buay song. so one fella will pass on a tip on how to 'jiak' and some will try.

Try to make habit of leaving meter ON until everything is done and about to move then switch it OFF.

TS, you driving blue meaning driving for CDG?

After every trip, there's this 'last trip' icon on your MDT... That icon is for pax who last min want to use cashless mode.

Simply clear your meter, than press the 'last trip' icon, it should go back to the last detail, than carry on proceed with the cashless payment.

Is not a new item, please know your MDT well..

Rbs70 SG

Just to add-on...CDG had covered almost every loop holes from their state-of-art MDT...

Drivers who had gone through the upgrading programs at Turf City will know what I mean.

These days, there is almost close to nothing to complain on their MDT..except some click and hitch...

Just to reveal some info, once upon a time...CDG had sent numerous secret passengers to test out their system...taking taxi everywhere and anytime...giving all kind of problems to TD...to fine tune their system, and this is the extend CDG willing to go to...those long enough drivers will somehow recount what I had said......

Bro, If you are driving with CDG a.k.a comfort. First thing to do is relax. Make sure your printer is working. Tell pax, "sure, no problem. Give me a second. 1) Press K1 on your meter until the receipt starts printing from your printer. 2) Upon completion of printing, Press OP on your meter (start your meter), wait about 3secs and stop your meter. 3) With the printed receipt in hand, proceed to edit the amount accordingly. 4) The printed receipt will have all the details of the trip like time start, km run and booking fee etc. 5) Show the receipt to the pax and tell the pax the amount due. With the printed receipt you obtain by pressing K1. You not only know the amount to edit. But more importantly, you have a "black and white" to show to the pax. It sure prevents any dispute. Take it easy bro.

Bro, i drive with CDG. But my Sapphire MDT si mi also no have leh. What last trip? What product? I know my MDT so well that everyday before I switched on my MDT. I will sayang it. Please be guai today. Don't hang. What makes you so sure TS isn't using the Sapphire mdt too, if he is driving with CDG. Until today, I cannot thank left leg a.k.a my school principal enough. He taught me many things. One of them is Never Assume Things.

I am a Blue Newbie. I thank you for bringing this up. Apparently, this is a loophole which Ang Mo females have learnt to exploit. Wake up Blue company before your drivers start to avoid such passengers!

PS2U SG

You had to let go of a $35 fare because of this loophole. This is sad.

And this has happened to you 8 times in 4 months! And for Pax who CALL! for Taxis too! More will happen if you did not bring this up.

We have been trained to ask pax their preferred route. Very good training.

My 2cents worth advise for Blue drivers. Ask Pax their preferred mode of payment before switching on the meter. Have it recordered somewhere.

PS2U SG

Thank you for your advice bro.

No Newbie can follow your advise expecially! If the printer does not work. This is a loophole which must be corrected.

Blues have the best MDTs' in Singapore. But if it allows Pax to cheat TDs', there is a problem with the MDT and Bluey must respond. Don't just collect rental and send TDs' for further MDT training.

Poolman SG

On behalf of all newbies , i appreciate all comments on this one .

It's a very valuable piece of technic .

Poolman SG

My opinion ...... mind must be flexible on this .

Poolman SG

all those hardware and software are dead one , our brain is alive and working one .

Rbs70 SG

Regardless of Sapphire, Gen3 or Gen4 set, software is universal for all....

After you clear meter, in our home page, below right corner, there's this icon'Last Trip', it will stay there for 2-3 mins before it goes off.

2-3mins is good enough for cases like TS..

You guys are right, your printer must be in working condition before you start plying the road, nowadays, manual receipt no more in use.

Give me a better loophole on MDT, I did mention about click and hitch.....

There's thousand queueing to drive CDG, they might be more desperate to earn that bit of money to feed the family....looking at some post on blue, why drive with anger?

I don't assume when doing something, even in real life....I put it very nicely here, please go and do a self test on your MDT...Start-Stop-Last trip icon....

Exactly, do one thing at a time, that was what I was implying, until all is clear, pax off, then press OP to clear, but knn, many want to take calls, want to chiong into Q with long line of paxs, end up stuck there, and worst if you jam up the Taxis Q, all behind start to horn, make you more messi

MDT is our cashier, I only pray it bring in more money, for that, it has to work. that is why i never hang anything on MDT.

ericgo SG

Now i know why certain ang mohs reject all colours cab in Q to take a blue one.....so its because of such exploitative loopholes.
