"Hi Bro poolman, need your advise on transcab calls. Where and when usually transcab has the most calls??

Thanks Bro."

One forumer ask me .

Poolman SG

Day shift dun ask me . I dunno .

Night shift wise .....

Say i start my shift at 4pm for instance .

Tuas has got so many . . . Gul Circle , Joo Koon , Benoi , Gul Rd , all Tuas extended to Tuas West area and further into Tuas South .

All the way til 6pm .

Then all goes into silent .

Cos all Comfort and Citycab chiong to Tuas liao , got 25% mah .

Customers cannot get Comfort then call other companies for rescue one .

Then from 6pm to 8pm , TransCab i can say very low call volumes .

Cos again , Comfort's 16,000 in force liao , all Scheme A mode .

Others no chance one .

Until after 8pm , TransCab then call come back again . Esp those outside CBD .

TransCab has got almost zero inside CBD calls for me .

My rating for them : 2/10 . Lousy .

Why ? Cos most Comfort drivers dun take outside cbd call , cos their calls inside CBD still got chance , esp places like Shenton area and Marina areas . Some Comfort drivers rather pick and go inside CBD .

Outside CBD customers listen music until sian , then call other companies one .

TransCab outside CBD call can ring all the way til 10.30pm sometimes .

Like Little India type , i for one ignore TransCab calls starting from 8pm .

All can sent u to ulu places one .

Poolman SG

Day shift , i heard lah , CCK & Bukit Panjang very strong .

Bukit Batok a bit .

Sengkang and Punggol equally strong .

Woodlands Yishun Sembawang also not bad .

The rest i dunno . . .

Poolman SG

I try to give myself a few reasons to take TransCab calls , but cannot find .

First , calls no destination ! Why should i take for that extra $2.90 , when i can get inside CBD for an extra nett surcharge of $3 ? earn $0.10 more .

Why should i be earning $0.10 less ?

why should i feed the taxi company $0.40 and got thrown to ulu places ?

I will take unless .... i pay them $0.40 and know exactly my destination .

If not , i will just laugh at the MDT , or straight away press NO !

Poolman SG

As for off prime calls , i for one really see $2.30 no up .

$2.00 press meter have liao , no need give $0.30 to feed those monkeys there .

Poolman SG

As for that new member who ask this question , TransCab calls all bananas one .

U take 5 minutes job , still ok . To cancell a 5 minutes job , all in all only take 15 minutes .

Their job some 25minutes one , crazy but true .

U take u die , cos it will take you about 35 minutes to cancell a job .

Cos TransCab if u need them to cancell a job , it's damn fucking difficult to get thru .

We call also difficult , pax call also difficult .

Pax call easy to confirm a job , but it will take ages for them to be able to cancell a job .

Poolman SG

Those 25 minutes job are those Advance Booking no takers then they convert into Current jobs and despatch it out .

So if u take those 25 minutes job , paxes laugh .

Cos they save from $6.50 to pay only $2.30 .

But we die , 25 minutes phui jobs .

I dun take one lah , crazy .

I cannot imagine those people who take such jobs .

U can take , once u take , call pax immediately .

Make sure they dun run .

Once they say they never confirm , u can call operator to cancell .

Poolman SG

Or if u think it's a waste of time waiting , press meter and run .

Waste $0.30 only .

Poolman SG

Always remember to write down your total jobs taken on daily basis .

2 means tonight they will giro 2 only from your POSB account .

TransCab system very cock up one , suka suka chute levy on drivers one .

Then portal also no records of job done to track down unsuccessful job bids .

Sometimes they also chute levy on cancelled jobs .

Poolman SG

Those who want to wait for TransCab calls , will die cock stand .

TransCab drivers sweep one , dun wait for call one .

Poolman SG

If u want to be a solid job taker at TransCab , must be like Uncle me , well trained from Comfort .

Then u can say TransCab calls chicken feed haha all the way .

But if u are trained from TransCab Call system , u go Comfort , ur balls will be one big one small .

Poolman SG

One thing for sure ...

TransCab calls dunno why , never require me to make U turn one , all infront one .

If have lah .

TransCab calls all within 2km boundary one .

Very rare unless at Tuas .

One good thing about TransCab , some call can be on the spot one .

Just press 5 minutes and pull handbrake and wait .

Poolman SG

when i near Tuas area , TransCab got many calls from Jurong Island .

Members who are not familiar better dun take .

Very troublesome one , must change NRIC , then cannot go faster than 70km/hr . Many cameras inside .

Make sure see properly then press if desperate to take .

Never take Banyan Place and Tembusu Road calls .

Very far deep in .

How far ?

Let me see .....

From Jurong Island checkpoint , to Tembusu , is about 14km ?

Something like Bukit Panjang Senja to Tuas Road End .

Poolman SG

Pay me $3.30 before levy and want to travel inside 14km to do a job and sent them to Jurong Point MRT ?

Over my dead body .

My fuel already how much ?

Poolman SG

Members listen , Jurong Island's job , for most radio taxis centre , it's all $8 plus meter .

This people who pay $3.30 , damn cheapkate one .

Those drive Prime will know , Prime set a $8 booking fee for bookings inside Jurong island .

The rest of us , Boon Lay , Taman Jurong and Lake View all same , $8 plus meter .

Jurong Island paxes they never call Comfort taxis , cos they really got no chance .

If i Comfort and take Jurong Island job , i tell people , people will laugh at me .

So they call others .

Those lousy jobs from TransCab , are those people who pay $8 plus meter also no taxis for them one .

Can imagine where their destinations ?

4 x places lor . . so simple , deliver Gardenia Roti .

Poolman SG

I pressed NO more than i press YES on my MDT .

Even inside CBD sometimes durian dropped , i also never take TransCab inside CBD calls one . If i take inside CBD calls , LV's Coconut Tree calls who take ?

Poolman SG

Do you guys know ?

My MDT put there is for me to hang my Galaxy Tab .

Poolman SG

But if Day Shift got calls , close two eyes take lah , Tuas jiu Tuas , take first than worry later .

Poolman SG

My MDT is my heart , my ears and thumb .

I take calls by listening one . Reacted through my heart to transmitt to my thumb .

Not by seeing .

Yes , that is Lake View !

Poolman SG

Hope u all learn something today .
