I want take over can? Fan of the hybrid car. So after contract no bonus one right? Also no incentive right?

Hokkienkia SG

Prime no incentive, rental rate also expensive. KNN how they survive lidat. NTUC should consider replace all their sonota with pirus, enviromentally friendly car.

One thing I scare about the Prius is the battery. Expensive to replace and service. What I scare if say the battery kapok then Prime chut stunt says no part then ask the hirer run on purely petrol then how? I know there is a SMART Kia Caren running on CNG and the CNG system got problem they dun want to do for the hirer so ask him run on petrol and one day less $10 for him. Like that how to cover?

Hokkienkia SG

Bro hammer got a valid point, must read the contract properly with eye open, word by word, sentence by sentence. TD Drive pirus because of costing saving and not for other things. BTW, it is a 1.5 cc car.

benqepson is the first one to drive a Prius .

U can private message him to ask more details .

Insg was just somewhere after benqepson .

Heard from benqepson that say , also from this forum , many will throw key back to Prime .

Surrender those benefits .

Poolman SG

heard from insg , bonus after 5 years contract is somewhere $10000 ?

Not too sure .

But it's the way to go for taxis .

Just that Prime does not lease out like normal taxi companies .

Poolman SG

If prime set up those system like Comfort or TransCab ....

Many would sign up for them . If CDG leads the way for Hybrid .....

Imagine 25,000 taxis runs on cleaner omission gas ?

Then Singapore will be greener .... air cleaner .... City less polluted .

Our children and next generation will be healthier .

Government will probably need lesser beds at any hospital .

Just saw a news from CNA >>>> http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1159154/1/.html

SINGAPORE: About seven million tonnes of carbon dioxide was estimated to have been emitted into Singapore's atmosphere last year.

According to a study commissioned by LANXESS, a specialty chemicals company, some 45 per cent of this was emitted from passenger cars.

The study revealed that while individual drivers were concerned about the environment and were undertaking measures within their homes to reduce carbon emission, their environmental concerns stopped short at home and didn't translate to their driving habits.

This was attributed to lack of information available to them on the positive environment impact through driving etiquette.

Among the environmentally-friendly technological breakthroughs in the automobile industry, "greener" substitutes for conventional tires were found to be the most applicable yet the least acknowledged by both end consumers and the industry itself.

About 90 per cent of drivers surveyed agreed that government-regulated labeling for a wide range of products would increase usage of energy-efficient products.

The study said using these "green tires" will result a carbon reduction of five per cent.

Close to 145 million litres less fuel will also be required.

The study, which was carried out in Singapore, is the first of its kind to correlate green sentiments of drivers to their driving habits.

Some 250 drivers took part in the survey.

Poolman SG

If Singaporeans all did their part in using Hybrid or CNG .

And less diesels or petrol .....

Most will benefit from it .

Unfortunately , most still think otherwise . Including from the PAP government .

From PAP , to SBS Transit , to CDG , to the smallest Smart Energy .

"Money" interest still come first .

They should be leading the way .

Not letting AxxonMobile lead the way .

Or Shell , or Caltex , or SPC leading the way .

7m tonnes of CO2 .... slow killer .
