Haha, I kena 1 time. This is what happen when you try to be nice
guy.
Like most once come River Valley, I will only stop at Clark
Quay. But 1 Fri nite, my backside itchy, 1 pax flag just before Md
Sultan, everyone else had avoided him, those days i like to put
changing shift, so I ask him where he go at 11.40pm, he say bedok,
i say sorry I going Newton.
So I carry on, but of course my mistake to cancel the change
shift after midnight and re-log on. This mf later complain to LTA
and of course I got a nice invitation. Comfort of course very
helpful, go and download the data from my MDT etc and give them (my
stupid hirer also neevr tell me this).
So I go LTA, but lucky I kena a reasonable officer. I tell him,
sir, yes I got put changing shift because that day I take over at 6
then put yishun CS because gonna meet my son and that day got
religious affair (really got that day) which i must go Novena,
thats why i put Cs to newton. After Yishun I got go Novena and then
wanna go Tank Road also for praying, thats I put CS, but why I ask
pax because I realise why other cab never stop, he was waiting at
River Valley near the bend, double white line, very dangerous, when
i stop I realise that and wanted to move so I just make excuse ask
where, say cannot and quickly chow.
Officer say this serious $200 + 2 weeks, I say very sorry never
do on purpose. I say I accept whatever you say and wanna do, but if
can give warning or reduce fine to just CS when not changing ($50)
I am grateful. He say okay, see how, he tell pax give me
warning. Few day later I call him, he say pax not happy with
warning, i say never mind, you do what you have to do. So far until
now, no letter or call from officer, so i think pax never go down
LTA or whatever. If still kena bo pian. But for me, no more Mr Nice
Guy, pax waiting before CBD, no need to stop, very dangerous behind
got car, I never see, consentrate fully on the road. Only inside
CBD, I filter to the left and drive slowly. No more CS, but I
will study pax first from now on, if got group or I suspect
whatever (pay Nets etc), never mind I drive long enough to know
what kind of pax I want to pick up.
Sometime, I guess wrong for sure but bo pian just take but most
time I can get it right. Thank you LTA, now I follow your rules, no
bus-stop, no near junction, your pax all before CBD like to wait
near bus-stop or at junction what! So I follow traffic rules and
keep safety first, you want to summon me, summon la, summon what I
very interested to know. So when pax complain got no taxi like Mr
Conrad Raj the Today Editor, I laugh and laugh, dont blame me hor,
blame your super LTA for their wonderful rules.
