I assume you would have shifted your vehicles to more "open" areas to try as well? It could be due to weak signal at far corners of the island. Try it next time, it may work.

Yup. Actually shifted a few times until we are almost a few hundred metres from his camp entrance still cannot. I also sweat...

i just paid by nets twice today. no issues at all. no dirty fuck up looks from taxi uncle either.

morale of the story?

these guys here prefer cash and will exaggerate their 'experiences' so as to collect money in their preferred mode of payment

will stick to nets from now on

Thanks for using nets....u know got lucky draw, u can get to win taxi vouchers......good luck to you!

Its always gd to carry some cash as contigency plan u nber knoe when the network nber works..... Got once midnite send pax back to tuas wan to use nets but no network lucky pax got cash if not hav to travel very far for a atm.....

the question is, when nets fail, what comes first to the driver's mind?

it's interesting to see the attitude of certain drivers here, jumping into conclusions that us customers are up to our usual 'tricks' and they 'see through it' by insisting cash

if i am going to be treated as a cashless bum anyway, i might as well be one

I always give benefit of doubt 1 cause sometimes i ask if they hav another card try still cannot i will try at least few more times. So far all my cases all can after a few trys so i tink is network prob. But best is still carry some spare cash in case of contingency

Hi All!

I am a newbie in this thread as I wanted to find more info about being a TD.

After browsing this thread, I finds that there might be some misunderstanding going on.

My 2 cents is that any forum is for sharing of information and experiences, no need to be hostile to each others, constructive feedbacks are welcome!

Mr Zweiz, from the following post by Mr allulu69, he is referring to the army guy not a reply to your post about nets/visa failed. Well, unless you are that army guy, there's no need to be agitated.

As for technical failure, nobody wants that, it will means inconvenience to everyone and to make TD to wait for pax to go ATM withdraw it is $$ lost to them as time=$$.

Sometimes to comprise and move on, it will make ourselves more happy then to keep dwelling on something.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, in a nice way that is.

Happy sharing!

Yes, I can understand that is worth it as a matter of principle.

The important thing is what ace said is to make THINK TWICE before he want to pull the same trick on other TDs again!he guy.

what trick? getting into YOUR taxi and make YOUR nets & credit card machine fail?

Drunk man lucky encounter to meet an kind driver, an honest pax, a quick witted wife.

19 jan 11 wed 2320h, after pumping diesel at sin ming, i drove my taxi, and saw a man flagging my taxi along sin ming ave(near the prawn fishing). Further up ahead was an yellow top taxi, another guy was trying to help his friend into the taxi, but it seems that the taxi driver did not want to take them. The guy who flagged my taxi opened my door but did not get in. He waited for the guy that was helping a drunk guy and they are coming towards my taxi. They settled down the drunk man into my taxi. I was not happy that the guy who actually flagged the taxi is not the one taking the taxi. I was given a drunk man instead.

Sad he took the receipt .

Sad he can trace you .

Sad Ace did not turn your head to check anything was left behind .

Sad it was at Sembawang Close .

Another thing we learnt ........at Bishan , abundance of paxes to the north , believe it nor not .

That is why , Bishan , AMK , Sin Ming , Shunfu , in one of my banned list .

To many, lets be frank, we are just part of the vehicle, many paxs don't take us as human, we are machine, part of Toyota wish, Hyundai Sonata, Crown, Mercedes, and so on spare parts ready to be exploit, use and terminate. This is the impression of what we are on the street, a car is a car with four wheels, an engine, a steering and some other decoration and gadgets inside. A Taxi come with a driver.
