CDG say to raise Taxi Fares is to help driver with their income,
Radio report Taxi driver got $4000, ST report we can get $3000. If
it is so good, why need a raise in fares?
Taxi driver, $10,000 income also can, also possible. No capital,
No education, No skill required, almost all can join. So,come come
and huat ah. Just seat and drive, it only the matter of hours of
driving.
Even got a pax told me, Taxi driver take home $2000 to $2500 no
good? Don't forget you don't need to have Capital outlay, Highly
education or any special skill, what type of income do you expect?
There are so many driver jobs that pay $1500 or less.
If a common pax know this, do you think our dear authority and
taxi company are unware of it and allow Taxi driver to have such
good income?
Take a look at LTA menu for Taxi Driver, there is something you
sure get to order everydays, reguardless how careful you are. It is
only their mercy not to serve you so regularly.
Look at the Oil price movement, even CNG are tagging along with
it. A little raise of 10cents, enough to wipe off about $150 to
$200 from your earning. There is about 30 cents increase over 1
year.
Look at taxi company, today, they yet to raise directly on
rental, instead they replace existing Taxi with new Taxi, but the
rental can be as much as $30 difference. That's easily wipe out
$1000 for your earning again.
Look at our insurance policy, even a simple accident, our dear
taxi company will not hesitate to wipe off $2000 from you, and $140
for GST too.
There are so many department, groups or authority to be feed,
can we still have such good income?
