That was last time bro ... Now inside cbd $5 , plus $3 cbd , plus meter .... got it ?

U left 2 months ago ......

How much you paying for the CDG levy per month ?

For that $0.50 per call ?

Yes 5.20, 3.50 call, they take 0.50. 2.50 call they take 0.40. Its still better than no bookings. CDG gives me many calls, like on sundays. How to survive on just 3.00 flag down? So on Sunday and public holidays, I need many calls, wherever the passenger sends me. Weekdays they gave me CBD calls. 3-6 current bookings inside CBD or about $3 levy. If I take LV, its an additional overhead. I need to cover the extra $2 daily or $1 if walkie shared with hirer. But so far all my hirers dont use walkies. If they got lobangs, it all goes straight to their handphone.

Becoming a LV member only makes sense if the taxi company got no or very few calls.

Unless LV can provide a flood of calls between midnight to 6am, there is no point becoming a member if you are driving for CDG.

When I enter Suntec area all my calls come from Beach Road, Golden Mile, and as far as Mustafa. Ting 3 times and my MDT suspend liao. When I enter Havelock area all my calls come from Robertson Quay, G.H., and sometime give me Sentosa! Ting 3 times, MDT suspend again. No chance for calls inside CBD.

Rumours outside say CityCabs gets more and better calls, complain to operators and they say "Comfort drivers say City gets more calls, City drivers say Comfort gets more calls....blah, blah, blah."

F1, from your call averages, maybe I should convert to CityCab. Or could you teach me a few tricks.

OK this is my views on being a CDG LV member. From 02 , i have been a beach road member and Islandwide member all the way till 2007until recently i joined LV, so membership & walkie fees to me was never an issue .

The problem with CDG calls are the destinations , if u are a hardcore supporter of the IVT in CBD , u will always almost get a job to the north which to me is one way ticket , a ticket to hell and also, you can get an incredibly long job & worse X2 X3 X4 stops. So far my record is tuas to pasir ris , loyang to cck and tuas to hougang , do you know how tiring it is?

Yes you need skill and experience to catch LV calls but once you get into the groove , you can start rocking. if you dun even wanna try , how can you blame the system? everything is set there for you , town to town calls , cbd to cbd , its whether u wanna work on it or not.

My first day at LV wasnt a pleasant one , others beat me to it why? coz i was too eager to press the walkie and call out an eta but slowly i learn how the game is played. I wont say im a good player , just a very average one who can survive on walkie.

Yes , basically one can survive on CDG calls but u are at the mercy of the caller . Uncle sengkang , after that punggol , uncle amk then yishun . 3 years in CDG , i hear this almost every week, not sick? maybe not you but i am.

And i also like to add for all new birds who wanna join LV , please build up your reputation as (1) one who gives accurate ETA (2) one who is not taiko (3) one who beats all the other opponents flat. otherwise life is going to be very tough for u.

One member here joined and without consulting 05 on how to go about things & made a mess out of the jobs. Now his reputation is in the drain , everytime he call out an eta , there will be challengers why? coz people know his ETA beh zhun , confirm can fight.

Walkie calls can be very fun and exciting but it all depends on how u see it . If u want bao jiak , bao xi kia , everything 100% bao, then dont join.

What about you f1 taxidriver, are you a LV member

He was ..... when Lake View was on the restructuring process , restructured into a better call centre , he quitted , and i thought he just missed some good thing in Lake View .

Say base on your average , 6 calls of $3.50 , meaning $3 levy a night for CDG .

24 days , $72 .

And u are complaining $65 for Lake View ? Which including your grid bills ?

And i haven't count in your $0.40 , what did you say ? 8 calls every Sunday ?

Meaning for 4 Sundays , u are paying CDG $12.80 alone on call charge .

$72 + $12.80 .

$84.80 and that u dun call it overheads ?

Pay $84.80 and kena arrow to Woodlands , Yishun , Sembawang , Hougang , Bt Panjang , CCK ..... most of the time .

No thanks , man .

CDG need you young man .

Brother Poolman, I have some queries on LV too. 1) Can I share my id no. with my hirer. (i.e. Can he use it as well in the day shift, if I allow him to?) 2) Also, do we have alot of very good lobangs where we can take part in like SATS(e.g. on days when I can work right up to 4+am) (in Nov & Dec-I can), without having to fight for it like taking calls, 3)What is $5/- plus meter, does it include the CBD $3/- surcharge?, 4) Would I be able to get a 2nd hand walkie-talkie for about $80/-?,& lastly 5) Will a newbie like me have a chance to take a good inter-city calls with so many good and experienced drivers like many in this forum here!(i.e. Are there so many inter-CBD calls compared bwith Comfort for e.g.??)

Answer : U can share an id with anyone , no limit to any taxis . As long as this id user pay the member fee .

Answer : Being a Lake View member , u are entitle to take up SATS jobs , in or out of staffs . If u want to . .

In short : $5 plus meter , meaning booking fee $5 , instead of $3.50 and $2.50 respectively . Lake View did not ask for it , regular customers of Lake View knew it , it's a traditonal method for fast cabs .

$5 plus meter , if in cbd , u can charge CBD $3 , holiday surcharge also applicable , peak hour surcharge also applicable

U can have my personal walkie for $80 if u want , with charger and battery .

Motorola i205 , most popular walkie for juniors .

We have abundance of inter city calls , not plenty , it's abundance , what we lacking are capable drivers sometimes to fit into the demand . Lake View are a hot property in town right now .

In some circumstances , we the management , had decided to set up a Q-ing system for some sensitive call locations .

But the lads at Lake View , are like a football team , selfish ones are out , now we all work hand in hand together , u faster , u go , i wait , cos sure have .

U go u go ......

If u dun believe , ask Twenty 98 .

He is the lastest recruit now .

He joined Lake View , telling my boss , has been following me since 2 years ago , and his friend also a member , brought him in .

Poolman SG

U CDG guys have to except this , that CDG calls has got so many options to call ...

Iphone , office use AUTO CALL , sms bookings etc ....

All because 80% of taxi drivers boycott outside cbd paxes , that is where the calls came in ........

Imagine 200,000 callers call into CDG from outside CBD , inside CBD surely listen music , that is where Lake View came in .

U guys haven't seen Fullerton Hotel booked 10 taxis in one shot ?

Oriental booked 5 taxis "Open Call " ?

Can CDG match that ?

Lake View all under 3 minutes ? How long can CDG make it ? 5 minutes ?

Kena hijack liao if 5 minutes , 7-10 minutes lagi no need say .....

komade SG

One needs to 1)fast 2)zhun on ETA 3)gd service to be gd in LV ;)

Me?? Im juz an average player 1 nite 1-3 calls nia..... :P
