imho (am no LJ, only drove for 10 yrs), auto is quicker (so u
can compete better) and easier to drive. Thus u can spare attention
for more pressing matters such as looking for pax, answering pax
questions, looking for landmarks etc esp for newbies. You'll hv
better endurance too!
To me productivity and biz opportunity is the most important.
That why i hv chosen yellow.
Pros
1. hassle free and quite good cab maintenance, at least from my
exp.
2. significantly cheaper diesel and easily available island
wide.
3. best cashless: all sorts of credit cards, nets, epins,
ezlink, CDG corporate cards, the works!! so no need to waste
precious time n entertain "uncle, pls look for atm, hv no cash" or
"do u accept credit cards?" n see big fish slip off yr hook!
can"jump queue" too esp when pax aproaches u with CDG corporate
card.
4. tons of calls esp in ulu areas. juz imagine trying to look
for pax in hugh Tuas!
5. good IT support. website for cabbies to check account, look
for reliefs, checkout and bid for adv bookings. Phone apps for adv
booking bidding available too!
Cons
1. quite strict on discipline esp with public image and pax
complaint so u need to be accountable for yr actions
2. big corporation (public listed company) so everything iaw (in
accordance with) SOP, say rigid if u r the type who prefer some
flexibility
3. red offers more discounts esp for cng wish but range and
topping up of cng can be quite a challenge
4. can't thk of anything more at the moment..
haha, no, am not doing PR for yellow/blue. juz that hv been
driving yellow all this while and there are no justification for me
to jump ship
