Just another Taxi Driver Wannabe

MMO69 SG

Hi Everyone,

I have decided to take up the Taxi Driver Vocational License.

Will be submitting my application through mail tomorrow.

Just_do_it_lah SG

No need to go down to LTA Sin Ming

to pay $40 registration fee ?

bowah SG

JDL,

By mail, I mean by mailing by post and not online email.

The cake is big enough for all to share.

Oh... okie...

But i reckoned if you got time to go down... LTA Sin Ming personally to register, may be faster than mailing by post.... furthermore, payment is needed right ?

Also tick the Bus Vocational Licence... if may come in handy.... dun have to pay extra for registering, but the course itself will course you $100 + $7 Gst. (total $107) for PHVL..

Anyway, it will normally takes 2 weeks before LTA replies you with a approval letter, and a medical checkup form.

You have to go to your estate's or nearest polyclinic to do your medical checkup including X rays.

JDL,

Yes I do have time, but prefer to do it by posting. I will be paying the $40 by cheque.

Hope to receive the approval letter in 2 weeks, then do the medical checkup, before going for the express course.

May I ask why you choose TD?

That cake was left over by pte limo, still got many other limo cab/van groups, follow by walkie groups, this groups and that groups, end up, people eat meat, I eat kut

Just_do_it_lah SG

The medical checkup should be around $44.70 including GST (that was what I paid in April 2011)... dun know got any changes now.

Had my TDVL for a long time, but dun have PHVL.... So, when I took the PHVL, have to pay another $40 to LTA to register. Waste of $$$. (PH = Private Buses Vocational Licence)...

To drive, PA, PC, PH, PZ.... you need this vocational licence.

bowah,

Since 2003, I quit my job and begin making money online. I am used to the freedom and don't have to report to anyone.

It was until 9th Feb 2012, Google decided to disabled my Adsense account. I have filed an appeal, waiting for their reply which could take another 4 weeks.

I am already 43. What can I do? I reckon it will be hard to find a job, compete with those FT, thus TD come into mind.

Yes...

at least Govt protected the basic jobs for the citizens...

Well, even if you are not actively driving Taxi... you may get one (TDVL) on standby...

Just_do_it_lah SG

My TDVL is on standby also...

MMO69 SG

Yes,

Luckily TD is for citizens only. Can't imagine what will happen if Govt allow FT to become TD.

I heard... some PRC whom turned Singapore PRs... then citizenship.... now driving taxis...

MMO69 SG

Is that a trick to turn them into citizen? So far, I haven't met one while taking Taxi.
