Genuine case ok lah, but if you make it a habit then it will
reflect on you in other ways I believe.
But if you really dont have coins, just tell the driver, uncle
can pancan NS boy. If you ask nicely, I'm sure 95% of drivers will
accept, of course there's always some who wont but it's within
their right.
But you may notice a thing about drivers not liking to ferry NS
boys because most of you pay by NETs. A convinient thing for you
but for some drivers who need cash daily to roll, it becomes a
problem, because on certain days after certain hours it can take
3-4 days before they see the cash. If 1 pax or 2 does that it's ok,
but if you get a sizable number then the driver could very well end
up with little or no cash to show home for that day's effort.
So be understanding a bit, if got ATM nearby where you intend to
hail a cab, go and withdraw la, if out of the way then bo
pian.
Give and take a bit, that's all what most drivers will ask. We
also did NS or served in uniform and we know how tough it can be
for an NSF to juggle the small allowance he gets.
Never paid by nets before lol. I make it a point to carry cash
with me at all times. Canteen in camp oso cannot use nets. Haha.
Nice to know there are drivers out there like you. Will try not to
make it a habit but most of the times is I on time but is the bus
always come late.....
