Hi just to share my experience, I had been driving during
weekends for the past 4 months... So I guess my knowledge of the
routes in Singapore is still quite green.
So far I have met paxes who also post remarks to me like "Are
you Singaporean ??", "Oh,my GOD ..u do not know where the building
is "and the worst case I have met so far is a lady Ang Moh telling
me " I know the route, but I do not want to lead you the way bcos I
dun wan to be a tour guide and also I am very tired and need to
rest" (cannot remember the whole comments but it really hurts me
that time)
For the first case, even though the pax says that, he still
took my cab bcos I ask him if he dun mind I use my GPS and that end
the case.
For the 2nd case, the pax lead me all the way and I thank
him for his patience.
For the last case, the lady pax offered to get out of my cab and
take another one.
There are also pax who ask me how am I going to fetch customer
to their destination if I dunno the route. I see this question
in a positive response by thinking that they are in fact care for
me on how I can survive with limited knowledge of the routes.
I admit sometimes in these moment, I do get a bit "hot" liao but
my head tell me 2 things... treat it as a learning curve and the
next thing is "this PAX will be dissapear in my cab less than
15 - 30 mins later". It is not like in office if you dun like
your colleagues or bosses...u have to see them for a "certain time"
before either you resigns or he/she resigns....
Bravo!! This is what it is about.
It is not about TD must know every road, or pax trying to cheat
to avoid paying fare, or pax in bad mood because girlfriend never
give sex, bla bla bla. The whole point is that you have
the right attitude and know how to handle the situation when you
get into such.
I guess some people never learn..... <sigh>
