newbie need urgent advice from bro here

last SG · 2010-04-17T07:27:24+00:00

what about those making 300+ 400+ a day?!

Poolman SG

i never worry about the rest .

The people chose the government .

I am always a rebel .

Unless the policies change to protect cabbies in Singapore .

Until then , u dun expect Pool to react like most Singaporeans .

LKY had succeeded in planting those thinking into most Singaporeans .

I dun give a fuck .

LTA n their alliances are supposed to be there to create a better Singapore , not ruin Singapore .

Their certain policies are killing many .

It's up to them to readjust those standard .

U cannot expect me to become a Pro-PAP character . Never will . Unless they do most things to make Singaporean happy .

I also never will vote for oppositions , unless the candidate is solid .

IRAs dun need our money .

They are hunting for those Curry Puffs sellers .

That is one reason why many visited Sgforums and got stuck here .

In here , we talk facts .

Transparency , helpful .

If u are hardworking , u deserve those money . $4k is nothing for those hardworks .

Not everyone can get those money for sure .

Of course we worked double hard , our pay must be close to double leh .

Those ministers earned million a year , and we were inform .

They deserve it according to PM LEE .

For some ministers , they really deserve it .

They worked in their offices for 6 days , Sunday went for a walk about at their housing estates .... they fully deserve it .

That's my 3 cents .

please elaborate on what kind of policies is needed to protect cabbies? protect cabby from? robbery or wad?

Cabbies here are already protected. no FTs allowed in this trade

Anyone who hantum, rob a cabby , run off with fares can go to jail

wad else do u wan protected? build a cage in the taxi?

Other than not allowing TDs to own their own taxis and letting the blood sucking cos bleed us dry of daily rentals and levies , wad policies have they come out with to ruin us? if they did ruin us , will u still be here shouting abt 4k? 1k also duno have or not

Tio Call Liao SG

I also never will vote for oppositions , unless the candidate is solid .

wad transparency? who do we owe an explanation how much we make to?? we are not the government , we are not a company. make transparent for who to see? taxi cos? so they have an excuse to jack up rents?

please wa beh tahan rental increase one. rental increase my body will go weak. maybe u are a pro driver , can get a pax from thin air , $10 increase will not kill u but $10 will wipe me out .

Poolman SG

It's about being positve and negative .

I am positve governments knows those datas . Incoem datas .

Why did LTA stop issuing private taxi license ?

Why are they implementing different fare structures to favour those MRTs ?

if i bang into someone else , i will surely be jail .

if an Amercian hit a Korean resident , and it's the Korean's fault , not the American , who has got a Queen's Counsel . She went scot free .

If cabby cheated off $10 off from a commuters , they'll be fined !

if pax run away without paying , we report police , culprit just gets a warning .

Many more .....

Because many Singaporean care for their own .

I care for my own .

Also i care for many friends i know .

Friends and family are important to me , more than relatives .

I go out , i have lots of friends , i make more good friends when work than from leisures .

TThe society mindset of Singaporean mist changed , to make a better Singapore .

I did not shout , $4k for a hard working cabby is nothing .

if u want $4k , can , work like Komade .

They deserve those credits for being hardworking .

I give credit when credit is due .

Poolman SG

Thye can jack what they want ... many , oldies 60% of them as hirer , would be hurt .

Those taxi companies must answer to them . or preapre more to throw keys .

if i am TransCab , i will not raise any rentals for my own fleets .

I will see what CDG initiate , and i will counter , and take in those ready made advantages .

they raised rental base on datas collected , not by what i said , and what u said .

What they implementing soon , was decided 6 months ago .

Stop the arguments .

Mind thinking is always different from yours , i know you and u know me .

Poolman SG

i take this sgforums as a freedom of speech forum , with responsibilities .

My voices is not everyone's voices .

all is my 3 cents of opinion .

If i can be infuential , so can you .

I dun hide this fuck income issues .

I only hide imoprtant classified issues .

I've my back up plans , many of them .

Just use your brain , can liao .

never say die .

I never say die without giving it a fight .

They can implement what they want , raise here raise there , but they must be prepare for those consequences .

u cannot possibly change all the injustices in this world. tell me someone who can. Singapore is like that , i already said TDs will never be united. whatever u say will not result in actions being taken.

taxi cos are like cartels , if all decide to jack , what can these 60% of the hirers do?? 1995 taxi rentals were if im not wrong $38 per day. due to the farking excuse that COEs have hit 100k , they jack rentals to $90 per day and they never came down till this very day!

tell me , how many taxis are there still today? wad can 60% of the hirers do??

heard of the saying LLST?? wad can u do??

of cos my thinking is different from yours , u like to let the whole world know abt things, i dont.

if u make this forum a private one where only TDs can come in , i will give u a run for your $

u can go on posting abt earnings here, people either will be impressed with u or just laugh at u.

like u say , this is a free forum and best part is this is YOUR forum but since u invited me in here , im also free to post my thoughts.

Poolman SG

what policies ?

Owning taxis policies .

high diesel taxes policy , that is why u are crying .

Fare strcutures .

Some fare has to be change !!

Like Tenah Merah Ferry Terminal , Mandai Zoo , Checkpoint , 35% peak hour , 7.59pm issues .

All has to be assessed .

Some places just have to apply some surcharges .

When those ministers has got $1m a year , u dun see ministers doing bribe .

If cabbies are doing well , there'll be no coffee shop complaints .

Poolman SG

u'll see those changes .....

times has changed ....

I felt those changes ....

Soon were the days taxi companies still think they are in control .

Cos what as we have speak , if one day 3 cabbies felt logical , next week another felt logical .....

Soon each one of us will have a common philopshy , i really dun give a damn what u or others can think about me .

And that's the tme taxi drivers come hand-in-hand altogether .

I do what i can .

Poolman SG

This is not my forum , it's for every hardworking cabbies in Singapore .

i can excuse u if u were a newbie. someone who just got into this trade when taxi business is above average.

Like u , i been thru SARs, economic downturns to know how bad taxi business can be. i always tell myself never be complacent and hao lian. what u can make today does not mean it will be the same tomoro.

to me , talking abt earnings in the open is just one way of boosting either your ego or your self belief that TD is the 'best'.

Crap all that I typed all disappear........30 min worth of typing all gone.

I tot I click saved reply........

Ok I try to type again. sigh...........

---------------------------------------------------------

After reading all the posts, I agree somewhat if not fully with what Poolman has said.

Singapore tried to be a meritocracy society, ie in short - you work hard you deserved to be rewarded. However, we all know that is not the case MOST of the time. When I read Poolman post, I have a sense that he feels very strongly the 2 mentioned TDs has worked hard and has risen above the norm and got rewarded with the income they have.

If u have attended the TD course recently like me, you will know that LTA is quite aware of our income and so is IRA. Like many business who tried to avoid paying tax, many TD under declare. As such, there is no need for us feeling so strongly when certain TD income is being posted.

I have not felt Poolman is being in anyway egoistic when he talked about the TD income. He has clearly stated that not all TD earned that kind of money and those 2 are well deserved.

After driving taxi for about 8 months now, I become more appreciative for our government. Sure, they are not perfect. Some of the things they do is detrimental to middle and lower income group. However, I can see that they are trying very hard to satisfy the whims and fancies of Singaporeans. Like what Poolman has said, I can see changes finally taking place to secure the jobs of normal Singaporeans.

When pple talk to me, they will think I am a PAP man. Infact, I am not. But I am grateful for the fact that they are wise enough to govern Singapore.

To conclude (man I wished wad I typed just now is not gone, it would better represent wad I said), if there is any problem with Poolman, it is for the fact he has used Singapore way of expressing instead of proper english. That may explain why TCL react as such.

I think if Poolman choose to type like me (eh steady lar, I hao lian liao), he should be able to express himself more clearly. ^^

RotaryEngine SG

My opinion is that what Poolman shelling about 4K or 5K taking in TD is not everyone's cuppa. Most TD won't make it and the other two that Pool emphasize is not everyone came make it. Mind you that even with 4K or 5K is nothing in context to a "high flier decent salary". Because Pool is not talking about Medical, PA insurances,etc...and blah blah blah....... So what if occasional hit 4K or 5 K ---Come On man , Not every day is a Sunday...So what if occasionally i hit $400 once? That's not include minus Rentals, Fuels and it's not even counted as NETT profit.

TCL - I totally agreed that bragging too much of taking is useless in this forum as many people are watching with "IGNORANCE". WTF, those taxman,LTA, Taxi Co, Reporters and Publics of Ignorances Peoples are waiting to rant about this issues.

Sometimes or even somedays might be very difficult, during crisis, during downturn, during cyclical economic issues. All this affect a TD day takings and not even to mentioned about Nett Earnings.

I agreed with TCL that taxis co are acting like a cartel...KNN, why i say that is look at their style of managing.....Act of Ignorances. Pretend and Act with Where the Wind Blows and Follow the Winds. If LTA said that the fare structures is up to the Taxi Co, Why not Transcab or Premier of Whoever try to be different with CDG? Why CDG not try to be different with the RSW $3 surcharge issues? So call face saving, So call blah blah blah. Pool always blast about FARE Structure....!!! I think better blast at taxi co if the Taxi Co is free to implement it.

Why no Individual Taxi Ownership license? SIMPLE Lah....Look at our SG history of controlling Union's. I don't have to emphasize on this. Go after the bigger Co's then going after each Individual is easy.

Summarize All - AUTHORITARIAN STATE !!!!

Poolman SG

Dun asked them what technics , and how ?

For just 26 days , at net $153 average daily , u can get nett wages $4000 .

Nett $153 , plus rental $45 , plus fuel give you $40 la ...

U just need $238 collection la . Diffficult meh ???

Big deal meh $4K ? Unless i am telling him , we will get $6K , man possible ? It's not in my fact file leh ...... boasting leh .

I am telling to ngkialeong , he was about to hit his $4k target with those assignments , i told him my team of Komade , Sonata83 , FT and Henry , all $4k calibre . Easy easy . No worries , just follow my guide , he will achieve .

Unless my lobangs not effective la , then forget about it .

Poolman SG

Tio Call Liao SG
