Time to wake up the taxi drivers.
If they dun want to pick up the customers nearby, revoke their
license.
They are getting out of hand and it is time to take action.
I am refering to only a small pack of picky taxi drivers.
Same for the taxi drivers who turned "busy" or "on call" during
off-peak hours.
Now, off-peak hours have become the sleeping hours for all cab
drivers.
If they carry on like this, they are just asking for their
demise as the govt have valid reasons to replace them with FTs.
I feel that if u wanna join the airport queue, we must play
according to the rules of the game.
Ever queue for less than 8 mins and kanna one pax wanna go
Jurong. I ask her how come she got no luggage and she replied that
she works there.
I also kanna one family of four, scared I dun fetch them, load
up everything, get into the cab then tell me "Buangkok". Sorry,
they see me wrong liao. Not only I no black face, still fetch him
swee swee to their place, no tips some more but still help them
bring their luggages to the lift lobby.
If you queue at airport frequently, cannot be so suay every day
kanna short trip one la. I can take the long ones happily, I also
take the short ones.
But, on the other hand, TD also human right? got feelings and
emotions too. Imagine as they say, queuing 2 hours at airport and
kanna short trip, wanna scold cannot, wanna reject also cannot,
black face also cannot, all surpress inside, one day sure
explode.
My advice (wah lao, newbie wanna advice) for ppl queuing there
is, expect every trip out to be short trip but if u get a long one,
it's a bonus. with this kind of attitude, make life alot
easier.
As for TD making themselves unavailable during off-peak hours, I
dun agree that it's bad attitude. TD also doing business right?
Sure have to pick the time less busy to eat, rest, or peeeee right?
is it viable to go do such thing at your busiest time? No logic
right?
But from my limited observation, off-peak hours like better
opportunity to do business. Fare is so cheap. People tends to wave
at taxis more liberally. can get connection every where.
Another point is, when there is a night shift (peak hours), they
is also a day shift (off peak). Many TD, especially those who want
family life, opt for day shift even though less income, or rather
more work for the same income. These people if really take a break
during their shift, then what they eat? fresh air or grass?
