As mentioned earlier, not everyone is like that millionaire CCK
cabby, who now is enjoying live in the Carribean, can afford to
reject all
calls.
I would just like to share my simple strategy with these calls.
Auto
booking. Many of the staff call from their office just
before they come down. Once recorded, the next call will be listed
as auto booking (without name). You need to invest some time to
familiriase with the "pick up" loactions. Ie, which building has
what big foreign companies (foreign banks, finance firms, law
firms, etc) and if you got calls from these buildings, most of the
time it is "safe".
Sometimes you can even tell what type of pax and their type of
residence from the number the call are made from. For example, if
call from 6890xxxx, you can tell the age of pax, their rank in the
company, method of payment (all will pay by eVoucher), etc, Believe
me, your experience will tell.
SMS booking.
Again, need to see which buildings they are calling from and most
of the time it is a lone pax. They just use sms for the
convenience.
iPhone
booking. This is
the type I don't like and will reject. These people using
iPhone booking are usually the "smart aleck" who will "no-show" as
they will grab any empty cab, even though they have made the
booking. Worse is that they don't bother to cancel.
If they don't "no show" (that is, they cannot get empty cab
before we reach the pick up location), usually they are the Desmond
Lim or Raymond Tan type, which will bring you to Komade's favourite
places (Sengkang and Punggol).
Anyway, I hope Professor Poolman would come back from the
Carribean soon and teach us more on taxi driving. Seriously I
learnt a lot from him.
