My newbie comment—
Advance booking can take for the 1st trip of the day providing
that location is near ur place + depending whether it’s a worthy
trip (long distance).
Subsequent advance should be near the last drop off point so as
to minimize the peak hr waiting time. If don’t, better ply the
street.
Peak hr is best on concentrating on pax maximization for that
period.
That's a sound policy.
But also taxi driving is a personal thing, you are on your own
and adopt whatever style that you like.
This forum got many TDs with a lot of experience, especially in
dealing with sticky situations and how to adapt to this trade so as
to maximise your income and life and not burn yourself out.
The suggestions they give is for anyone to consider and see
whether suitable for their needs. If suitable follow, if not
suitable don't, either way ok.
But TD must learn not to be bitter or angry every day, I
remember in the 90s when I fetch 1 abang whose taxi break down.
That time I new, so I ask abang, today your cab break down, I see
you very happy one, why ah? No money to earn today, you still
smiling and happy. His answer struck a chord: Ai yah, everyday is
different. sometimes got good sometimes got bad. When you take the
good, you also got to accept the bad sometimes, cannot 1 way
traffic all the time, life is not like that.
