Today is a happy day for me , and for Salim aka Starr ..... he can finally thrown everything behind , and leads a better life forward .

Very soon , we will have our very very first non-chinese counterpart in our group .

By the way , Salim is our Malay counterpart .

Poolman SG

Appreciate your words of encouragement Poolman, thanks!

Yupz, since submitting my application to get a TVL months ago, i've been telling myself that i can make it, so that my family get food on the table, bills get paid, etc.

Anyway, all those mental talk is only 50% done, i still need to put them into action!

So, i guess i can start to look for hirers in Punggol area by mid- Nov when i've settle most of the stuff with my current company...

yes , be positive , u are half way winning the tough battle .

Mind you , i can foreseen tougher route ahead ....

With the new 1000 TransCab Wish coming in December , we will face more & more competition on the road .

The old will be slayered by the new .

The tough gets tougher , the weak gets weaker .

I had return my taxi pool man, in a hard way. Yesterday I went to office to give them notice 7 days but instead the counter told me to go to credit control at 2nd storey. Why I hutang them 14 days and they immediately take my vehicle on the spot. They give me 2 choice . One is to settle $500 or two is to return taxi. I chosed the later . That night I got relief and I already pump my tank . Wtf ! . Stupid comfort. If I know I should return taxi yesterday afternoon, then I will not pump any diesel. Never mind my experience you guys gain.

Once yr hutang go above $1000, go to 2nd sty look for credit control. They dun care yr loyalty coz they have paid you every 3 months . Just tell them nicely to take your taxi away. If they ask you why ? " Financial difficulty" Thats my reply. Just in case , remember to keep a spare key coz some times in a moment of folly , you forgot to bring back yr barang barang . It happen to me lah. By the way the handing over takes abt 15 mins coz I really jaga my taxi.

Now no choice but to drive taxi for friends until my hybrid taxi will bedelivered on the 3rd week of November . I will be one of the 5 guinea pigs to test out this car and we drivers will try to feedback to the Coy. I bet you guys already know this car is already on Hong Kong roads .

Poolman SG

BenQEpson , u yet to tell us stories of this Hybrid car ...

U mean hybrid taxis ?

From which taxi company ? Prime ? 5-yr-contract ?

Tell us more , thanks .

ALN SG

huh owe comfort $1K can just return and no need to pay?.... hmm…. maybe david chong did that while food tasting all the taxi companies…. haha

Poolman SG

David Chong our model cabby la ....Mr Good Fellow , he will not do such thing , u think he gangster like me ?

My situation quite similiar to BenQEpson , but i paid everything .....

Poolman SG

Me is dulan no call dun want pay rental , until they asked , red letter , then i fuck them up , screw them upside down , handover the key for the Sonata .

ALN SG

shd have just said no money then no need to pay loh… haha

comfort suck enough money from us liao…

Poolman SG

that time i learnt something ....

U must change the style very fast , cannot die die hope got call . Yeah , at Suntec throw Standard Charter Bank @ Battery Rd , jam then throw to me .

At Bugis throw Tekka ...

At UOB plaza throw Amara hotel ....

At Keppel throw Harbourfront ...

Then the best part is , throw u go steam places is good , but knn kena one is go Wland , Yishun and Senbawang ...... Hougang oso , but Hougang like ALN said , can chiong town , but i also buay song .

Why cannot sent me pax that go Grange Road ? Or town to town ? Or River Valley ?

Speed call ? Bull shit they know the location .

So that's it , buay song .... mai give rental .

When i intend to throw key , this was the game plan i did .

Poolman SG

i just took too long to adjust from a call cabby into a street cabby .

One year , i analyse ..... I realized .

That was the problem .

Now i am definitely a better cabby .... call also can , street also can , airport also can , housing estate also can .......

Last time street not so good ..... cos i shun street paxes , all calls . Got pax also don't take .

Again before fare hike , right thing to do , take call generate income .

Now fare like that , no need booking la ...... street paxes faster to generate income .

Poolman SG

And i recognised from the fact that from a few examples ...

My friend comfort got 10 calls 2 weeks back , he did from 4.30pm to 12am $200

So what he got Tuas to Jurong point almost everytime he got to Tuas ?

I got 0 calls , i got $240 @ 12.30am . I was almost like one go out town , one come back town , then CBD $3 , go out again ..... come back again $3 CBD ... and out and someone bring me in ...... all surrounding CBD . And hit Jurong and IBP people sent me down to town again .

I analyse .... if waiting time for call is 10 minutes ( like from Jurong Point to Tuas ) , wait for pax 5 minutes ....

If 10 calls , u wasted 150 minutes on the road idling for calls .

That is 2.5 hours engine on , and u do nothing .

Poolman SG

Unless u can assure me that Tuas got call go Jurong Point , at Jurong Point u kena call at exact pacae like > Jurong Point go Boon Lay , at Boon Lay kena another call go Plaza Singapura , connect another call @ Plaza Sing to anywhere ....

Assure ?

KNN Comfort dun play you u are one lucky fella liao .....

if 10 calls , 2 no show , that is the worst !!!

Wasted even more time .

I analyse , and i am right .... To drive a TransCab without call , income is more than those Comfort Hardcore .

Poolman SG

My friend Mr Tan , and Tio Call Liao , plus Mr Tay , Lion sleep tonight , also faced same problem , highest record was achieved not by taking calls . All by streets connections .

ALN SG

i treat comfort calls as bonus lah… e.g. when biz bad during evening peak, many taxi q… then suddenly “tink”...steam

or after midnite far from town, suddenly “tink” go clark quay or ap…. steam again….

if in town, call location not good, i always ignore and pick and go instead

cos me pay $51 for sonata…. silver magnetis will charge $48 to $50…... with less pump stations and higher than comfort diesel rate…. got sense?... or wish $45… knn… cng 150km?

sonata is best deal for me… the best relief in sg…. hahaha

Ya lor , best relief , taxi got call .... more pump stations , although u dun pump , just in case need to pump , no need to wash , pay only ...... good ma , somemore got ang pow to take , no need give back ang pow somemore .

Excpet no lalio ..... soon la , u millionaire liao , can sponsor one .

Teolk SG

i also think no call means less stress,knn 2 sat ago evening time raining in town

got call from keppel bay to ap,knn hand itchy go take

then all the way jam till i fxxking du lan,plus fxxking urgent need to go toilet then stuck in jam really knnbccb

knn then i straight away bo chap call control station say stuck in jam can't go,pls arrange for other taxi,kena kpkb from the lady

ccb next time hand cannot suka suka itchy again go take this type of lan jiao call

But I agree with Alvin,call is useful when demand is low example 35% & midnite

knn also in ulu ulu places kena call confirm steam

this type of situation comfort still the king,other taxi co.confirm no fight

still remember i was smoking with my comfort friend outside ikea tampines fri nite 2.30am,then his mdt beep:pasir ris ave 12 fish farm to yuan ching rd

knn he straight away throw his cigaratte & off he go,knn i then cruise empty back to town

that's the power of their call

ALN SG

2am pasir ris to taman jurong…. super steam…. $40….

ALN SG

me got sunday taxi liao… clean blue sonata… Sun 2am to Mon 6am… $90…. got radio

diesel 10km pump 1 litre….

but knn must wash…. luckily pool say he will wash for me…. hahaha

hirer say can’t drive no need to pay… just inform early…

but i say i will drive 3 sundays a month lah….

y? cos me best relief in sg mah… hahaha
