Why is there a call booking?

TaxiNoob SG

Rejected booking? What is that? Any eg?

Sorry bro, just want to know more...

Most of the time inside the cab, there is always advance booking, but the cab never bid for it, that is ok too?

Reject booking means don't accept the job either by pressing NO or not doing anything at all. 3 rejections and you will not receive current booking for the next 1 hour.

Not bidding for Advance Booking has no negative consequeces for the TD.

Is it true that td need to take a few per month, or else the booking stop for 2 hours?

Personally, I don't know if not taking calls at all will have any negative impact on the TD or not. But, heard from my bro in law (who is a CDG cabby for many years already) that you will be sent for the MDT training. This is what I heard, not confirmed yet.

Something like when a person book a cab, that person which got a blacklisted, will be hard to get one.

How true, I dont know cos I never cancelled booking cab before.

According to company, such callers will be placed on lowest priority list, which means that he / she will take ages before getting a cab assigned to him / her.

How true is this, don't know. Maybe it's true or maybe it's company's PR talk.

TaxiNoob SG

Is it something like booking fare...certain percentage goes to td while certain percentage goes to the company.

Yes, a certain portion of the booking fee goes back to the company in the form of Call Levy. TDs don't get the entire $3.50 or $2.50 booking fee.

during my early morning cab rides, most of the time there's always an advanced job offer appearing on the screen but no TDs i've seen to date pressed the bid button..

When I was covering for my hirer a couple weeks ago, I do take the advance booking job to the tune of about 1 job per hour. Over the peak hour, take 3-4 such jobs and the partial rental is covered. But, it's not always that I'm able to "schedule" such advance booking swee-swee one...

So when pax dial 6552-1111 , purposely get you to come to the taxi stand , then when u arrived , they press Job Cancell .

Then u guys pick from the same taxi stand ?

Good for you guys .

Well done .

Me too. It's like they are using the company's tool to "summon" TDs to the T/S and then avoiding paying the call charge. They think they smart? I'll just move on to the next T/S or street pax (if applicable. It's a given fact that during peak hour there is a shortage of cab. So, no point playing such game and trying to short change the TD.

Your advance booking mostly from LV or DCG?

Not 100% true .

But CDG do give priorities to their Corporate Customers .

Those Cab Charge holders ...... That is why cash payment customers will find it hard to get a cab when they needed one , cos CDG pay a bit attention to their own corporate customer base .
