even MP can't help.... who can help ???maybe look for

Poolman SG

Mind you , Beach Road , Taman Jurong , Boon Lay , Singapore's Top-3 radio taxis centre , average about 300+ members .

Their Bosses make money .

Lake View bosses lossing money since tookover at May 2009 .

Why ?

Cos only 90 members at February 2010 .

Now maximum 150 .

Why LV good ? Cos got calls , but less competitive than Beach Road .

Imagine one call 300 members eyeing ?

LV calls , one call come , less than active 50 eyeing .

Lake Views calls all go Pasir Ris , Tampines , AP , or short distance from CBD .

Or Hotel to Hotel .

Or restaurants to hotels .

I do not want to know where those 4 places , those Woodlands , Yishun , Sengkang , Punggol , Sembawang paxes get their cabs .

I dun even bother to imagine .

Poolman SG

Just a fact , read this .

Beach Road - all calls with destination

Taman Jurong - all calls with destination to Jurong .

Boon Lay - all calls with destination to West .

Lake View - all calls with destination to anywhere .

SMRT - calls with destination

SMART - not many , but with destination

SIlver - first call no destiantion , until 3rd .

Trans - all calls got destination .

Prime - all calls with destination , all from Jurong Island .

Except Comfort and CityCab , all destination hidden . Except to Airport calls , sometimes have , mostly no .

Comfort calls is good for consumers , no good for drivers .

Poolman SG

To be fair to Comfort , driving day , they are good , got calls .

But a bit sian , $2.50 a piece only .

And need to pay $0.40 levy , left with $2.10 , and pay GST , left with $2 to be exact .

If infront got people dun take , take a call and if go 2km , and pick the calling pax , it's ok , for extra $2 .

Sekali go 2km into the location , NO SHOW ?

Wasted diesel and time .

Poolman me drove Comfort almost 7 years ..... seen it all .

One year ? hahahahaha

Poolman SG

comfort calls is all about peak hour and between 5pm to 11pm .

That $3.50 that matters , not $2.50 for goodness sake .

It's $3.50 and $3 cbd that make it even sweeter .

if Comfort keep throwing me calls from outside CBD , how to get maximum surcharge ?

And if reject 3 times , suspension ?

Suspended when CBD need us ?

And oh yes 9pm *ping* , " good i got a cbd call " ......

"Uncle , 4 places "

Then rush down , at 10pm : " Uncle , Woodlands "

My night game over liao !!!!

komade SG

Poolman has single handedly summarise the situation of all call scenarios and cant help but agree with him.

TDs should not think that only comfort is superior than others. if you have tat thinking , you are really wrong.

i used to think like that but after a while mixing with the reds and whites. comfort?? phui la, in actual fact it has one of the worse quality in terms of destination & connection.

As for earnings, u will be surprised SMRT or red engine drivers can earn so much more than the blues.

ok lar dun disclose our incomes leh bro, mine 1.5k per mth nia sibeh cham..... :P

today rainned heavily 6am till now my posting at 10am

walkie on non stop remix...... :P

Mercabs SG

SMRT ? Fuck la , SMRT is a joke of all taxi companies .

TransCab ?

What u want ? Calls ? I can only tell you they are seriously getting stronger .

Massive improvements .

If u join other walkie groups , like us .

Double good .

When u join Union Trans and plus some walkie group , u will be pampered with quality bookings .

Uncle Pool, pls don't keep bashing my SMRT hor, respect a bit leh!

Me with SMRT since day 1, and I've no complain so far with them hor.

I must say that you are a bit bias when you talk about your red engine. Always how good your red engine company & how good your cng to the environment.

Cannot like dat lah!! I don't think SMRT TDs collections is any lesser than any other taxi coy TDs.

So what if CDG got many calls with or without destinations???

So what if Transcab got calls with destinations???

So what if SMRT got less calls with or without destinations???

End of day, I don't think TDs collections from different coy with same experience got big difference.

Poolman SG

No la , not bashing you .

When u heard how TCL got those treatments from SMRT , Patrick got it , Ngkialeong got it as well , and some i heard , it's crazy . Cos u are still with them .

About the bookings , with or without destination , play a part , i really mean it , it does make a diff .

Of course what i know , i tell .

CNG is really good for the environment , we need it . I still think Hybrid and CNG is the way to go .

Ya la of course salary almost same la . It's less du lan driving some than some .

Since when u saw i post TransCab this fucking company good ? Fucking toilet worst than any toilet in Singapore ! Workshop is bad . HQ is old and staff are not up to standard .

What they good ?

Benefits + CNG vehicle , that's what we want la fukc .

Their car is good , their calls getting better . Benefits is there . as far as these can get my money coming , the rest i dun care .

Comfort calls is good , servicing of vehicle is better than TransCab , where are their CNG ? High rental ?

Where are their benefits ?

$1200 per year ?

I've heard too much stories about SMRT , so i share .

I myself drove Comfort and TransCab , so i share .

If people dun agree , and it is fair , they must be prepare to in for a debate .

Poolman SG

We shared what we know about taxi driving , Poolman has got not much to hide , unless some really classified issues .

If u do not agree with some points , do bring out , we share , we agrue , we debate ad we learnt .

Nothing personal .

Poolman SG

This thread starter ask about his view about CDG's taxis .

TCL , Just do it la , myself all condemn his motion , why die die must drive ?

We gave our points .

Clear cut .

And we three-some has been with them , all add up .

Poolman 7 years

TCL maybe 6 years

Just do it 5 years or more ?

About 20 years for Comfort's experience , we all felt the same .

And that chap only 1 year . He deserve to know more , and learnt from it .

Mercabs SG

No la , not bashing you .

I know la, you bashing SMRT, no me.

But you must agree with me that most of us only takes in the bad points and highlight it but not the good points.

Anyway, imo, as long as we don't owe rental to the taxi coys & no accident fault, all the coys are about the same from what I gather.

To me, and I am only 18 months as a TD, the vehicle is just a tool for us to ply our trade and have a decent income.

End of day, imo, we must be resourceful enough to look out for our next fare.

Whether 1 coy got more calls or less calls doesn't make a diff to me.

Even uncle Pool agree that end of day, salary still almost the same.

So what if you are ON CALL at Tuas???

The other day, 1 of our LV member was complaining about getting a call from CDG at Tuas. What happen in the end, is that he wasted precious peak hr & still cannot find pax, & 3 CDG cabs was looking for the same pax. What a joke right???

A C MAX SG

bro mercabs,

relex will you , for the first all the taxi travel on the same road , same traffic lights , same q and we all still hold the steering right? if u ask me smrt , its not bad at all and not the lowest at any point, but we have sometime have our thoughts and we compare at the end of the day we all earn may be a bit less here and poolman gave his opinion and so the rest we are here to share, argue and may be till the end its go on but know want will have bad heart each other as we all are still in the same road

cheersman

Ya la , Comfort , again fuck la .

I am always biase towards CDG call system .

And SMRT taxi operation and their system .

U know ngkialeong , fantastic character , well maintain on his old crown , punctual payment , when he resign , was hold on with his $900 , for what 6 years ?

Cos accident not of his fault ?

U mean until 6 years later than we know the outcome ?

It's SMRT bizarre system .

With our informations , the rest of the guys are aware of it .

I look at facts , felt not right , and bash their system .

Anyway , i am not a powerful man to stop what they want to do , free bashing from me , hahahahaha .

Poolman SG

Again , why did Comfort doesn't have "hold your $900 " policy ?

Insurance policy ?

Hidden sometime within the agreement .

Poolman SG

But you must agree with me that most of us only takes in the bad points and highlight it but not the good points.

How i wish SMRT drivers will be more here .

And share the good of this company .

Except for the Luxury of the service centre i heard from Ken Teo , and Rotary Tan .

That's all i know about SMRT .

Anymore ?

This actually will balance up the views .

new members here will benefit more than what Pool always put it , those bad ones .

Poolman SG

How i wish i can understand more on why La2534 kept telling people off from signing for SMRT ?

La2534 bad pay master ?

Teolk SG

i'm not here to offend anybody or taxi company,

but as an ex-smrt hirer, i got nothing good to say abt them....

oh yes maybe something good-their driver resting lounge is first class!

this 1 i admit

Tio Call Liao SG

lookin at the last few bits of this thread, my opinion is there will be pple driving for smrt no matter how bad or sucks they are.

but i can tell u... as an ex SMRT driver from there. like Teolk have just said , There is NOTHING good about them.

Now so many have nothing good to say about them so there really must be something that mercabs bro sees in them that is good ( wat is it i really dunno la ).

thats mercabs choice, lets respect him.

But end of the day , if something unpleasant arises , dont vent your anger here . coz we will only reply this line ' see? we told u so .

Another to add , lets end all this which taxi co is the best discussion. really doesnt seem to be going anywhere.

And the best part is our dear THREAD starter Islandwide hasnt even replied or posted anything in response haha

komade SG

all of them r bloodsuckers juz gotta to choose who sucks

u the least....... :P

allulu69 SG

some sucks like vampire and some like mosquitoe.
