Use your judgement. There are people out there who like to step on other people. There are also nice people. You cannot reason with trouble makers. They need...

my case is an india indian at centennial tower last night at 8.20pm . the cancelled message came when I parked at the divider waiting for him. within seconds, he walked over & said his hp no. I told him he has to pay the booking charges. he replied “cool”.

(cases like this I have learnt not to pick anyone up except pax from the taxi queue.)

On reaching Bencoolen st, he said he had cancelled the booking & he refused to pay the booking charge. further more he is experienced bastard, he asked me to stop near the bus stop B4 Ibis hotel knowing I can’t argued with him for long.

Next time, drive him all the way to a taxi stand/ stop, like one outside the bayview hotel

For me, Call Cancel or Noshow. I will just drive off. I won't help to shorten the queue. The farker that call could be among the taxi queue, hoping to get quick taxi w/o paying the call charges. Once oncall, reached pickup point saw .... couple (not nice to mention race), looking at my direction. My sixth sense tell me they are the pax. Waited till time up and noshow buttom appear. Was about to move off they run to me and say they book the cab. I tell them "sorry ! time is up, don't ever play this game with taxi driver again". I press noshow and move off.

Another incident,

Pickup oncall pax. He was talking on his mobile.
He took quite awhile to tell me his destination.
When I was about to start meter… knn “call cancelled do not proceed”
message appear.

TD : How come, call cancel ?
pax: I did not cancel.
TD : Since the call is cancel I can’t take you. please join the queue.
pax: I will pay the call charges.
TD: Sorry, call cancel I can’t take the call charges, please get down!

Perfect timing to get the call cancelled, want to try his luck.
This type of farker I don’t entertain.

Those Ah Nehs huh....

Last time, when I work at Terminal 2 as trolley retriever (this is more than 20 years ago), part of my job is to recover trollies at the taxi stand. We will try to make extra tips by help passengers / taxi uncles to load the luggages into the boot.

Ang Mo and Indonesians are the best when giving tips.

But, when it comes to Ah Nehs huh, we will just stand around until the taxi drives off before we will proceed to keep the trolley. No point helping them at all. They will just assume that it's part of your job. Worked there for about 4 months before going back to school and I NEVER receive any tips from an Ah Neh before. Not even once...

Those Ah nehs practise their cb class system in india. so they thought they can bring it here and use it.

Another thought is they probably know they are the most disliked lot so they think what the heck , might as well be nasty lor. hahaha

in fact the nicest ah nehs are those bangla workers. although they dont tip , at least they dont give trouble. sometimes when i take em , i will deduct the cents and round down or give a $1 off. you can see that they are very grateful & will say thank u very much uncle.

When i was with Comfort ...

Got once ....

I received a call : " Park Mall , main road . Mr.XXXX "

So i proceed ....

Before reaching , saw that guy with phone , *ting* job cancelled .

Immediately when TAXI turned green , this cheapo flag for me .

So i stop , tell him : " Pls wait at taxi stand ."

I said : " i got call "

He said : "But u TAXI , uncle ."

I added : " Yes just got cancell , u still have to Q there ."

*ting* , here you go .

Fuck them la , i ruthless one , never give a damn to cheapos .

Too clever , makes them really stupid .

Good to see TDs sharing here. I have learnt quite a fair bit from this forum.

To all those pax out there who abuse the system or may abuse or ever abused the booking system... Every dog has its day!

If reached destination job cancelled or no show, i will press the Busy buttom and drove off to about 100 meter than press for hirer.

lazyeebone SG

If cabbies have a common stand.
Those farkers will not play these games.

Interesting, some cabbies do pickup from the same
spot after “call cancelled” or “noshow”.
For them…”since I’m already there why not ?”
Had seen some cabbies reverse back to the taxi queue to pickup.

Is not for me to say right or wrong, different cabbies different style !

TCL,

Ah neh and bangala are 2 different people, they have different culture and characters.

allulu69 SG

In my course of work, ah neh also behaves badly.

Their 5 cents is bigger than a bull lock cart!

This is the type of info that we want . About how some bastards chut pattern to fark us up , so that we are aware next time.

i drove for so long also did not know of this tactic , it is thru here that i became aware of it.

All those earnings broadcasters who post their blah blah blah $XXXXXXXXXXXX how much how much... whats there to learn from all that?? only attracting unecessary attention. how lian + bo nao thats all i can say.

ok thanks for the correction sister.

Agreed with you.

Today's taxi business is so competitive. People like us trying very hard to earn a decent living by risking our health, (sometimes our lives) to earn just that few dollars ($2.50 to $3.50) by taking calls and to reach the destination asap. Yet these pax play us out. How do one feel?

Whatever it is, its a chicken and egg prob in Singapore taxi business. It will be there forever. We can't solve this. TDs accuse pax. Pax blame TDs... etc etc.. Since we can't solve this, might well join the prob. Be a bastard, calculative, choosy, nasty taxi driver lor!

Poolman SG

That is why i said , standardised the practise .

Once got a job cancell at that location , guys pls la , give that location a miss .

Let them wait , and call again .

See if they dare do the dirty tricks on us again .
