Cabby must not be choosy - Sunday Times

seancannot SG

Someone wrote to Sunday Times that cabby must not be choosy even if customer demand to go to the most ulu place , it is the repsonsibility of driver to drive him there.

I think this must be written by one of the elite produce by PAP, who cannot empthanise what the lower income class hardship , what he is asking is like

'You stupid driver I dun care you make $ or lose $ , so long i ask you go where u must go , because i am the king'

KNNCB to those who never tried driving a cab for a living and think cabby must do to their liking.

Cabby is also trying to make a decent living. Imagine you are sent to Ah Shun or Ah Wood and empty cab rushing back to town to pick another pax. Just for $ and ONE hour wasted plus you have to speed like hell ( risking your probability in accident) in CTE. If you are lucky there is no Jam and you can have a smooth crusing.

Even with the current carrot of $3 CBD surcharge wouldn't help us earn more. In fact most time it can be worst than without CBD surcharge.

If you make all your way back to town, hopefully you are still lucky to get your next pax immediately. Sometime - TD laments that the Taxi queue is already in all sorts of Formation already when they returned back to town. Quite true especially when during low period. In a month there are many days of low period compared to high demand time. NOT EVERY DAY IS A SUNDAY TO CABBY.

To be frank - Taxi fare is too low. Ridiculously low. And Please don't compare to ringgit or rupiah, baht, yuan, rupee, peso.

Does cabby has the right to reject? Yes, if i don't feel good and my body is weak after a tiring day. I need to go pee, to shit , to eat, go home to fxxk. OKAY ! Idiot customer is always king.

King Customer - LET ME ASK YOU. You don't want to sit inside a cab when the cabby is having a stomach upset.

Gahmen always say that cabby is self employed. In fact YES. We pay rental, We don't owe anyone, We take care of our own Medical and our own CPF or whatever fxxk annuities in the future. We don't write report to Grease anyone AssHole.

Cabby also have to make a decent living. So as the same in any business. Squeeze here and Squeeze there. Supply and Demand.

If trying to Cap here and Plug there. Then there is no ending. Go back and recap how the CBD $ is impose.

How the midnight surcharge is impose. How the Airport Surcharge is impose.

Any Medicine prescribe will have a side effect.

Live with it.

OH...oh....i forgot.....too longwinded. Better keep it short. KNNCB and kudos to those Complaint King.

But then to be fair...pple need taxi to go home................someone got to fetch them back. In my opinion, we who provide transport service sometimes cannot choose. If not they walk home liao.

Sometimes we have good trip, sometime bad. It is just part of our job as a service provider to see them get back home safely and promptly.

My encounters with those ang-moh, kimchi, wasabi who live and stay here. Some of them are very CHEAPOS. Why i say that?

What about some bar-kay-ro that shout at you?

They compared our taxi price to baht, ringgit, yuan etc....living standard. They want to enjoy in our GREEN GARDEN and yet they complaint about Beer, alcohol, cigarette, Car price, library books very expensive.

They still think we must be cheap cheap cheap. They are a shame to compare and cannot even be compared to Bangla, Ah Neh in Construction.
