Sure past time, unless their childrens never support them or they
did not have any saving, then they hv to drive at least 8hrs, knn,
with 2 to 3 childrens support them, each $500 per month, if it
is me, i also just past time, drive Taxis bring grandchildrens
go seaside play. Some of them go tour a few times per year,
then will call me to relief them, but be their relief is good,
cos they very chin chai one, everything also can, that is one good
thing old hirer, they take life so easy. Like you say you are in
AP, add another 2 hrs, will pay him accordingly, old hirers will
said, take your time, slow slow, no need to pay me extra, dun rush,
and no need to wash car...so good leh, but i usually will pay them
extra, if not paiseh. But their taxi usually old crown.
However, we got to be realistic, tho it is good for old hirers
to past time, we need to be concious of the situation if all hirers
who are getting older year by years, in future just drive to
past time, issues which also happen today will surface more if
old hirers drive to past time.
example. Paxs complain of no taxis at peak location period
leading to release of more new Taxis on the road, if you drive taxi
to pass time, the purpose and productivity of the taxi goes down,
it serve no purpose to the public other than for the self interest
of the driver, these ultimately will lead to more New Taxi and
drivers on the road which mean more competition for those who drive
taxi to rise a young family.
I think more or less they controlling number of taxis on the rd
liao.
we have more taxis per capita than HK but hor their taxi fare
more steam
not like ours PHUI!!!!....... :P
