Bro StriveOn, your theory is very good.. maybe due to the fact that you have not started driving taxi as a career… once you start, i am sure it is a different story.. what you advice seems easy on the ear.. but i can tell you most drivers if never hit target, never go home one.. hope you won’t be like that when you start driving and practice what you preach.. if you able to do that, you can go the distance.. good luck for your course… cheers..

very true bro~~~~ muz be like bro JLKL....... OMO??

nber hit target?? 8pm?? F lar time to siew chia liao..........

Poolman SG

He OMO, says very tiring.

OMO , like i said , very tiring job .

No life .

But hor , since that fare adjustment with Sunday having that extra 25% after 6pm , it's easier than before .

The other part rental ( treat it like relief's rental without a relief ) , can cover in about less than 2 hours , say $45 .

The go home .

sounds familiar... hee hee...

Angwk7118 SG

if really want omo, do it i shift, do not do split shift driving

1 drove omo for 18mths since day one tried many pattern, tested myself

stop driving omo for only one reason, someone suddenly came to me to ask me if need relief so i just try out. for the past 5months, i realise one thing, income the same. why? cos as omo you sometime need more rest due to longer driving, can never do it everyday except when you just start where you are full of energy to chiong. longest driving as omo was 21hrs,

Khoon2580 SG

veri much depends on individual body clock who go omo...

some can wake early... cannot sleep late type... best is start early... chiong tru the day... keep early... can hav time with family for dinner - example: khoon

some wake early... but need afternon nap... split shift good for them - example: jackpotlok

some cannot wake early... but can sleep late... start after noon... whack till one trip past mid nite - example: CK

some cannot wake up early... need to be home for familiy time... sstart 9am end 6pm best.... but earn peanuts - example: JLKL

some can chiong one day one nite... sleep the whole of next day... do one day on and day off also can - example: ???

current fare structure... not logical to do split shift... coz morning peak onli 3.5 hours... and 6am to 7am not many pax nowadays... best is start after lunch... do tiill 1am...

StriveOn SG

One of my strong reason why I want OMO is I dont want to have the problem of handing over. Maybe my luck no good, whenever I partner with somebody, always got problem. Ironically when I share my car with my wife (her driving sucks) I got no complaint about her.

Being able to choose my own schedule is another strong reason.

All other reasons, no point to say now until I try it out. Then I come up with edited report for Newbies.

Another encouragement was from my TD friend. We were Supervisors in the same factory many, many years ago. He knows me well. He believes I can make it as OMO. Hope he is right, else I go and kill him.

I'm in luck.

Meet old frend just now, he also TD. I will relief from him starting Monday. Tomorrow must buy his number 4D.

Huat arh!!

StriveOn SG

Wish Bros., need some data to help me decide whether it will be a Crown or a Wish.

What is the consumption (or $/km) like for Wish? I hear numbers like $0.13 per km, How high can it go? $0.16 ? on CNG/Petrol or Petrol only. Based on current prices.

A Honda Stream (Pte Car) is doing $0.20 per km on petrol.

Any input welcome.

It's still best to have a relief when come Saturday and Sunday .

Or relief when i sleeping , extra money , less burden , cover up for the lost time at Servicing .

whatever fare they implement , body cannot take it , no life , what for ?

Not as easy as one might think .

Given a choice between having a relief and OMO , i chose having a relief .

Poolman SG

Now drive taxi no need use much brain , need stamina enough .

No people to pick ? Just Q at nearest taxi stand during day , LTA enforcement come then run to another taxi stand , as for night time just go MBS or RWS or CBD grap $3 .

Call or no call doesn't matter , on the way there got people pick , bonus .

Now got what MBFC i said earlier , correct ? MBFC power pack one .

What ORQ . . . What Asia Square ... What Maple Tree Financial Centre away from CBD ( Pasir Panjang ) , PSA building also converted into a shopping mall .

Also got Vivo , Harbourfront , Clarke Quay etc

Poolman SG

U guys are lucky now .....

OMO no need think so much now , cos taxi fare adjustment did help a bit , not much , at least can help .

I been thru the harder ways , taxi flag down $2.80 , $1 surcharge on Friday night only 5pm .

Peak hour $1 , then $2 later on .

Sunday eat shit ..... si mi lan jiao also dun have .

That's it , 350m and 385m jump $0.10 .

Have to shuttle just a tinier population of 3.5m people , now can play with 5.08m people .
