BCL you know the roads inside out. Go learn from just_do_it_lah.
Switch to combi. Many people with big balls never even bothered
with taxi biz. They jumped straight into driving 44-seater bus,
hiroof and MB140.
I met one old man last month. He took 100% loan from Maybank and
got a few buses, each costing 200K. Big balls man. Hired people to
drive for him too. This bus driver owns his own bus transport coy,
wore slippers and looked like Clarke Quay trishaw man. But hor, his
lampa bigger than the gurkha. Very bold, made all the right
calculations and won big time. Bankers love him, cause he never
missed a payment.
Yes bro... let's have kopi one day (night) and discuss about Pte
Limos... 
But going straight to 42-44 seaters bus is a BIG RISK.
Hi-roof (hirace) probably.... but many places cannot park (or
enter).. basement or multi-storey CP.
Got many who venture out too fast and too soon got caught ( US
mortgage loans crisis ), when many expats are re-located. Their
business are cutted by 70%-80%. some had their business
vehicles repossessed.
