If not sure , ask !!

Poolman SG

For current drivers and newbies , it's not fully our fault to listen wrongly , sometimes it's the paxes who just can't pronoun location clearly .

So how ?

Ask la .

Here is a few examples , it's sounds so close , and it could be so far apart .

If u have some examples as well , do contribute to benefit the new drivers .

I ever almost ... sent them to wrong place .

At Jurong ..... they wanna go "Race Course Road" , but their accent , i listen like " West Coast Road " .

Half way , they remind me : " Uncle , Tekka huh ?"

Uncle Cabby SG

usually if the destination the pax told me is not clear.............

i will............."U going to Velocity, rite? tat one at Novena Square........Not Vivo city, the one at HarbourFront correct?

usually Sporeans wil jus tel us "Uncle, i wan go Novena Square" but some PRs, expats n Ang Mos like 2 say "I wan go to Velocity."

dun tel me if u hear Velocity, u wun wan 2 confirm again with pax it's not Vivocity tat they r going 2 ?

if destinations given by pax is not clear, best is 2 name some PROMINENT LANDMARKS or major roads near their destinations 2 DOUBLE CONFIRM with them.........

komade SG

if i cant hear correctly i always make sure i ask

them till i can confirm correct place then i move off

Best is pax got one card , everytime wanna go where , just write and show TD. then TD also got one card , write total fare on it after trip and show to pax.

Sometimes you repeat the wrong place, then they say yes! There is once I pick up japanese, and they say "Orchard Parado" (don't know why they add an "o" to the parade). I asked them "Orchard Paragon?" and they say yes yes. Reach there, they say no no, and they show me the map..

bowah SG

got once also a japanese couple, said lucky hai,,...i asked, lucky plaza?? they said, hai hai hai!!, i thot jpan hai means correct, so go lucky plaza road, damn, half way said hai hai,..no no, no,..then, i realise it is lucky height, height said hai..damn. Get scolded.
