Should Taxi Drivers be paid more ?
1. Taxi Drivers have been complaining that their
take home is very low and can
barely feed a family.
2. Taxi Drivers have no bonus, no holidays, no sick
leaves etc
3. Taxi Drivers have to take risks as they have
to pay taxi rental even if they are
sick
4. BUT taxi drivers also very relaxed as they choose
their own working hours
5. Taxi Drivers do not need much skills as long as
they know the roads and
landmarks and know how to drive a
car
6. Taxi drivers work in comfort with aircon, music,
radios and some with videos.
So, are taxi drivers under-paid or over-paid ?
The earnings of a TD is really nothing to shout about.
Considering how much the country has moved forward , the earnings
are still lagging. If ever one day , SG cabbies can hit the
earnings of UK cabbies , then we can safely say we will be a
happier bunch.
There are just too much hazards on the roads these days and also
one need to have some savings for
(1) At fault accidents - $2140 incl GST
(2) Parking & speeding fines
(3) Paying rentals for days when TD is sick
Just have to kena (1) & u hit the jackpot!
In general , December is not a time to discuss abt TDs getting
paid more or not coz this is a good month.
Come January , February ,& march , lets see if some people
can have the energy to shout their 3k , 4k earning figures for all
to see hahahha
I cannot understand some people really :)
