It is always pleasurable to see TCL making his post. As usual, let
me fire some rounds on him and this topic. ^^ FIRE!!!!! BOOM!
I remember hearing pple says some wise saying about "taking in
the good thing and throw out the bad ones." We have an interesting
stomper who is so free to copy and paste a MRT plan and makes some
interesting demands to TD.
Seriously, we should just ignore the portion where he state his
demand. All who have read it will know right away that those words
are said in the heat of the moment. It is like a child throwing
tamtrum to their parents crying out, "I want that and I WANT IT
NOW!!!!!". Why should we entertain a kid's request online?
Let us examine his rant. He is steaming his head off when the
taxi he wanted to see on the road is not there. He is forced to
wait more than 15-30min at times. I am sure there are times where
he is aware through first hand or 2nd hand account on how TD from
mainly Comfort and Citycabs prefer to park one corner waiting for
call instead of just make street pick ups.
He implied TD are greedy and lazy.
He get all steam up over the fact that he rather wait and waste
precious time waiting for a taxi that never turn up (or worst -
intercepted by some idiot who walk infront of him lol) than paying
$3.50 or $2.50 booking fee. He feels that TD should appear
magically for his sake.
So do we TD need to make a fuss abt his demand? To me such are a
matter of whether one is willing to pay for a prompt service vs
wasting precious time. It is like a person says why he should pay
over $50+++ to eat the famous chicken rice at Mandrain Orchard when
he can eat hainanese chicken rice for $2.50 at coffee shop. Answer
obvious right? If u dun wan to pay $50 for service and heavenly
make chicken rice, then go to coffeeshop. It is a no brainer
answer...sigh...if only the stomper think.
------------------------------------------------------------
However, we need to ask ourselves whether his complain is valid.
Too many times I see in places like One Raffles Quay, the TDs just
simply parked behind the building thinking no one can see and no
one will know what the heck they are doing. This happen while long
queue of pax are queuing at the taxi stand!!
These TD dun even know how to jiali makan. Hide also dunno where
to hide. Tell the world that they are waiting for calls. No wonder
pple complain. And TCL here is my swipe to u again ^^. You belong
to one of those TD since you openly tell everyone how u like calls
and avoided more than 1/2 of Singapore locales destination.
So dun start blasting off and say things that is almost the same
as what the stomper want.
-------------------------------------------------------------
However, can we blame TD? Yes and no. Pple may call us greedy.
But I call it business opportunity. Like wad Poolman said before,
we are always playing cats and mouse game. U hide, we seek and
catch. Sometimes mouse win, sometimes cats win.
Point no

We are like everyone, we go where the money is. There is only a
small percentage of pple in the world who is doing volunteering
work. Why? I guess one of the main reasons is money not enough in
those kind of job. U go for the job that has the most prospect,
most monetary returns, with best incentive and leaves benefits
etc.
U dun go to a company and says, "Hey I like ur company that only
pays $1000 doing 5.5days works and shit load of work. I will work
like dog for u even though there is another company that has the
same job scope but pays better."
So yeah Stomper, dun makes me laugh ^^. U have ur point, but pls
stick to the point. Dun be emo ^^.
Point No

Comfort and Citycab has a company rule. U dun take calls, u
kanna banned for a period of time. U will be called up and asked
why u dun take any calls. As time goes by, the driver will be
blackmarked.
Point No

Street sweeping can be tiring. Who dun wan an easier life if I
can drive less and get more? We deserve some rest. When the Stomper
said what he said, it is as if that we dun deserve to be treated
well.
-------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, we know the said Stomper is just making fart when he
implied all TD seems to be like that. Comfort and CityCabs consist
about 60% market share. There are 40% taxis on the streets whose TD
dun really depend on MDT calls for a living. (for eg me...Silvercab
got nothing. No MDT, no talkie unless u apply for it)
So if a person dun get a cab on the streets, it is only because
the crowd (ie the customers) has driven us to different part of
Singapore at different time. For eg, during week day nite, many
pple tend to go home and less pple go to town. So for those who
work late, of course not enough taxi lar............
So I invite all, pls calm down and think think think.....problem
arise for a risen (<-----"reason" hahah wrong spelling
sorry ^^ Add on edit ^^). They dun suddenly appear....and it is not
so simple so that a person can straight away pin point the fault in
one single locale. If everything so simple, I dun drive taxi liao,
I go be ur boss. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
