Insg, initially wanted to take silver cab. Called 3 times all 3
operators gave me 3 different answers. In the end, still don't know
what they trying to offer. But i guess if you calculate net
rentals, Transcab gave you the best with a 1 years japanese
taxi compare to 3 year korean kia. Old korean car always gave you
lots of problem ( i know cos i driving a korean passenger car)
You talk to the wrong person. You
should talk to the person in charge and not the
operators.
Summary of reason why i choose transcab wish over silvercab
:
1) Transcab wish (0-2) is newer compare to silver (3 years)
KIA also got 1-2 year used
vehicle.
2) Japanese car more reliable than korean car (in term of
consumption & engine)
Yes if it's made in Nippon. But
most speak Sawadee krup (Thai made).
3) Net rental is cheaper for transcab wish
In exchange for the trouble of
going back to base to pump CNG. (Pool will disagree on
this).
4) Silver cab benefit is waived if you got into accident ( that
what they told me), but transcab if you got into accident , only
accident free incentive is waived, but not the $716.
No, only accident free benefit is
gone. Performance benefits stay.
5) Silver cab no more 2 days free rental, they lumped it into
benefits as cash rebate, but transcab got 4 days/ years in addition
to $716.
Actually all taxi coy are using
the "3 bananas in the morning, 4 in the evening" or "4 bananas in
the morning, 3 in the evening" method to pay out benefits. At the
end of the day, you still get 7 bananas (or roughly).
6). Silver cab no cashless payment ( for those who prefer to
have.You know lah "Uncles got nets")
CASH is KING! Card or no card, my
income is not affected.
The only downside of transcab is CNG, but like what komade and
poolman said, it's a matter of timing and making $. Hope the above
sound logic. Just my thinking.
If you live near CNG pump, good
for you. Diesel can be pumped at every corner of the island. Like I
said before, if east side got CNG, I also jump ship.
WISH (pun intended) you a good
start in driving.
