If taxi can earn alot, i think most would had jumped in, i would
said, a Hardworking TD, earns a moderate paid. There are pros and
cons to everything. You work in companies, you get this and that,
but you got no freedom, must behave and need discipline, and most
end up quarrelling with superiors or colleagues with lots of
politics all day long. Tho TD do not have this and that perks, but
the fruit of own time, own target make a man more happier. So what
if you earn $50 per day, just give yourself a peg on the back and
said, I make it with my hardwork and of course, some brain.
The Ironic of life is like this, you earn more, end of the day,
bank account look the same, you earn less, also the same, cos earn
more will induce you to spent more, and if you spend it on yr
family, that is good, but if your spend it on sometime not
necessary to spent, then back to Square 1. TD must have confident
of what he is doing, for the society and also for transport in
singapore, imagine without you, half singapore cannot move. Have
credibility in yourself, and drive happily.
Hi bowah,
Indeed very well said...

As a TD, how much your income really depends on how hard working
or discipline you are, on top of the hours you on the road...
Mentality must also be totally different from being an
employee...
For newcomers, I would also like to add, that there's no fixed
formula or method of driving your taxi to enjoy better pax pickups
and get guanranteed income. It all depends on individual character/
style , habits, like/ dislikes.
I feel each individuals TD need to try out differrent timings,
shifts, methods of taking calls/ pax ( be it sweeping the floor,
from MDT , from radio group , or limo counters). and as a "Kim Gu"
OMO, I have the luxury of using deferent methods at different time
of the day and day of the week. Of course at the expense of driving
longer hrs on the road and full rental.
