Another 100,000 foreigners coming 2 wk in S'pore!

Uncle Cabby SG

Saw from Yahoo news 2day, PM Lee personally said tat. I tin gd news for taxi drivers but bad news for many S'poreans who stil cannot find jobs. Those new foreigners sure nids 2 tk cabs cos they r new 2 S'pore.

Out of the 100K, I tin sure many r professionals n mayb some allocated 4 construction workers etc etc. I like 2 tk those Filipino pax cos they r usually polite n respectful 2 taxi drivers. Some maids also quite pretty n friendly......as I'm single, I got extra fun on some Sundays......hahaha......

But I do not welcome those like tat Swiss who broke S'pore law......even though his art works on tat MRT train is quite nice.......(4 me personally)....... So sure got good n bad........wat's yr views?

Imagine how many local will lose their job and be TD.
You think our gahmen will care for the local ?

What if they put another 5k cabs on the road ?

Uncle, they may not take cab around Sinkapore, bcos now Suana Mass Retarded Transit is so convenient......

But i do hope TD got good business though......

My dad was a TD last time...

100K coming so at least 50K of the local will lose their jobs.

My feel is more bad than good. For those professionals, they would need middle class housing including HDB flats for rental. This would jack up housing costs. For the construction workers, more domitories needed. Who knows where these would be sited. Next to your block? It's a wake up call to local workers as bosses need to pay CPF for you whereas FW no need CPF.

As for TDs, maybe more fares only for professional FTs as they can afford. But knowing them, usually they would stay very near their work place. So TDs would expect more shuttle service.

Construction workers !! 2 IR completed. Circle line completing soon.. Marina Bay area finishing. Those condo projects need so much workers ? Need them to build what ? FYI some construction co. already started to send workers back !

Have friends in the construction line said don't know where to put them. China is the biggest n cheapest workshop in the world.

So manufacturing is out. Ship building/ oil rigs sector maybe. But don't need that much. Local need to fight for places in the uni. Graduated, need to fight for jobs.

Vote PAP OUT to Save SG SG

To replace the MM, SMs, DPMs, M w/o portfolio and of course the PM himself. Cheaper, better, faster.

We have budget hotel, budget airline… time to have BUDGET TAXI!

If I have the millions to spare, I would start up a new taxi company name: Value-Cab International.

1. An acquisition of 1000 new Toyota Prius Hybrid taxis (with euro4 diesel engine)

2. A Daily rental of $88 c/w GST (brand new cab), must sign up with 1 year contract.

3. An additional 10% off from normal meter fare. Senior citizens enjoy 5 more % discount. (cheapest fare in town)

4. 52 days of free rental (company encourage healthy work life balance for all)

5. Appointed official taxi for Hotel 81, Fragrance hotel and other 3 stars... (budget hotel, budget taxis ma)

6. Only approved taxi with “share-cab” scheme. Cabby is able to pick multiple pax along the way to assigned destination. Eg: cabby wait until 4 paxs available, then start to drive off. Each pax only pay $5 regardless where you board or alight. Same as those days share cab system fm Queen St to JB. Pax can alight anywhere along bukit timah or woodland. This scheme only applies at certain peak hour only, eg: 6.30 to 8.30. Popular routes are: Lot1 to Sg Gedong, YewTee to Kranji loop, Boonlay to JurongIsland, PasirRis to AP/Loyang/ALPS/Cargocomplex…etc.

7. Shared MDT booking system with CDG. 10% levied from each trip by CDG. Company pay a norminal fee to CDG annually for such agreement. Save on infra & manpower.

8. Accepts all major cards includes NETS, Ezylink as well as CDG cab-charge card.

Motto: Its my policy to meet your needs!

Slogan: Now everyone can take taxi!

Mission: To be The Singapore’s best low cost taxi

You know what… the key to this success is: To employ all the cheap FTs from China, India, Sri-Lanka, Msia, Vietnam & Thai.

Heee...Crazy idea?
