Is this wrong ?

Poolman SG

FT encountered one case , he told me , i also dunno , now i ask u all .

Poolman SG

He got a call at Tuas to XXX Hotel inside CBD .

Pax never say anything before hand .

Reached XXX Hotel , tell FT his colleague taking the same taxi , to Sentosa .

Can , like that ?

Poolman SG

Me ?

I will stop meter , and proceed as second trip .

Mine reason : different pax , consider new trip .

Not all the time like that . but members must learn , cos it will come by at least once in your life time .

Poolman SG

A few years ago , i kena same , but locals .

From CBD want to go Tiong Bahru , alight , want me continue meter her mother continue another trip .

Kena suan siao upside down from me .

I said no . . . they have to take another taxi .

Mine reason . . . advance booking , rush , no time for another stop .

Actual fact no .

Just cannot tahan cheapos like that .

If before hand she asked , i can tell her nicely cannot sorry , too rush .

Or at least she ON CALL Comfort , lan lan ON CALL .

Poolman SG

Same to FT , he started the trip as new trip .

I can tell you , it's safer that way .

We have to protect ourself .

Poolman SG

Scenario A : If pax B run away , pax A can dispute he paid ! Call CDG also no use , CDG can say it's different pax !

Scenario B : Pax B can dispute he is not going to pay for Pax A .

Taxi rules, same pax different location, meter had to be continued.

Once a pax alighted, with a new pax, consider a new trip, regardless friends or foes.

Thought there's a thread on this, 500 Corporation Road, those mata kia, very famous one, change shift taking taxi, bring gun sit Taxi....sent email to Police Force until today never reply me, knn...must email to minister one day.

Paxonboard3173 SG

Number 1 ban list to me.....any part of Singapore, these mata kia, took my taxi, I will cancel immediately cause they carry gun with them, endanger my life....wonder why Comfort allow that, e-voucher somemore.....

Poolman SG

Now it's different pax !

So we cabbies standardised . . . different pax , we stopped meter , start as new trip .

They can dispute all they want .

Poolman SG

And it's best Pax A pay his own bill .

Pax B pays his own bill .

I dun see why we can allowed Pax B to pay for Pax A ?

How if Pax B dun pay pax A ? We find who ?

Will be ka na lan . . .

This one quite tricky.

Learn from Poolman, sorry got "advance call".

Poolman SG

To save that $3 - $3.90 flag down , cheapo will dare do such thing one .

They might say : "Uncle , here no taxi , can help ?"

Yes i can help if start a new flag down .

Continue ? NO .

Poolman SG

But i do allowed current pax to pick up someone and proceed to another destination .

No way i allowed myself allowing her to pass the trip to someone else .

Poolman SG

Sorry to say . . . it's one antic adopted by some special race only .

And they are not even born in Singapore .

But nowdays many in Singapore .

Poolman SG

Don't spoilt market by allowing them to do frequently .

Poolman SG

But dun be so cruel , give them some options .

Like On Call a cab ?

or the best i can think of ........ Tell them get a Chrysler ! Chrysler can entertain them anytime anywhere .

Aiya, FT so kind that's why pax take advantage

My case no 1

AMK paxs board my cab with her friend at club street on a quiet mon night about 2330hrs gg to 1 Shenton & asked if I can wait 5 mins for her then to AP.

I didn't reply immediately but paused to think but the friend said no need can always hop into another 1.

But pax said very quick 1 so I said ok but no more than 5 mins. Reach there collected 10$ fare & waited.

Jun jun 5 mins she's down with just handbag & her MacBook. I proceeded with the trip to AP but restarted the fare meter with no complain from her

Case no 2.

Pick up amk pax with local Chinese girlfriend from Fullerton hotel to AP at 1700hrs.

While driving out of the hotel driveway, amk pax said after AP send his girlfriend home to sengkang. I told them I can't go sengkang after AP.

He asked why not while others can. I told them to take the others cab if they can. They got out of my cab along the driveway with his luggages

Aiya, FT so kind that's why pax take advantage

He stopped meter . . .

New trip ... with $3 CBD surcharge .

But end of trip B , Pax B paid for Pax A ...

Total amount $40+ ...

Pax B

Poolman SG

My question was , still thinking after so long .

What if Pax B dun want to pay for Pax A's trip ?

Those hassles of calling CDG and explain bla bla bla , go back collect fare again bla bla .....

Because of cheapos like that ?

Poolman SG

Pick up amk pax with local Chinese girlfriend from Fullerton hotel to AP at 1700hrs.

While driving out of the hotel driveway, amk pax said after AP send his girlfriend home to sengkang. I told them I can't go sengkang after AP.

Typical Mercabs style .

Not surprised though .

Be very surprised if u did sent her to Sengkang , damn surprise .

Another question : Would u do it , if they allowed you to restart meter and collect $3 AP surcharge ?
