Limousine at AP now cost pax 55pts for 1 way.....

The good old days have gone.....it use to be everyday 4-6pm sure piang, than night 10-12 midnight also piang......

Now except maybe Friday and Saturday night......very rare will hear 255 shouting nearby can try.....

Day limo, if you want to queue.....minimum 3 hours......

Until you have some reserve to operate limo business......AP limo, don't think about it first......

A most classic case.....CDG actually reprocess a white cab at AP limo queue, the most malu thing ever happen to a TD.....and this guy still around in limo trade but driving with SMRT now, don't even dare to try queueing again....

OMG........... kenna repo at limo Q?? dun sia suey leh.............

JDI is a good example for many to learn from. He dun shum , he dun take short cuts.

I still rem the days when we were queuing somewhere in the east ( classified) , our friend was in t shirt and jeans driving the silver crown haha.

Had he stayed on in silver , well most likely now he will still be with err silver.

Somehow i manage to psycho him to take the mercs , hahaha now hes become a power limo driver liao.

Business luck is crucial at a certain point of time in your life….
Bro BCL super relief for then a New Mercedes cab (SMRT), told me… “brother, pickup so fast, got cruise control some more”.... You remember Bro BCL? Haha

It just seems like it happened yesterday.

Time really flies like a brink of an eye.

I was seeking for an auto gear change and at that moment, only Mercedes cab offers that option. Sonata? don’t have lah. All Toyota crowns and/or Nissan Cedric.
Haha.

Now? There are so many choices. Only worry is the daily rental.

MMO69 SG

IMHO, I think limousine driver should be an OMO, if not at least a day hirer.

Yes, agree....so far successful 1 mostly OMO or day hirer....

Night limo must depend, tag with those DH, than will be jiak beh liao....

Just_do_it_lah SG

I drove taxi – 8yrs night shift….
Only 1yr as day OMO and on the last year day OMO then got my regular contract passengers, hence turned Private Limousine…

U see the different?

Not that you can’t get any regulars during night shift but in the day shift, your opportunity is greater..

I still have my regulars AP transfer passengers calling me, if available, I still fetch them to AP. But AP transfers generate minimal income as compared to hourly disposal jobs. U think they will call you as often for disposal in the day or in the night? No need to sleep meh? haha

Night time where got so many MSW to go around. By midnight.... Most cabbies already at kopitiam complaining how difficult their daily revenue. ... Haha. U mixed with DHs, they ask u to play mahjong... Or go karaoke... U also have to entertain... Knn... No need money and time spend?

Me drove at least 6yrs night as limousine cabby... Night time where got so many MSW durians? Even got durians midnight departures... If job crashes then tunnel out... Buy more supper for DHs can carry more of their balls then maybe tunnel 1-2 jobs to u.... Knn. There are no free lunches aka supper for.

Just_do_it_lah SG

Many preferred driving night…..

No sunlight….
No massive traffic jams during rush hours….
No need to incur so much ERP tolls…

But… Also Not much limousine passengers jumping around. Haha.

EP77 SG

Been omo for a few mths. From Limo to Maxi then back to Limo.

Then finally found a day relief and become a nite driver. Nite driving is like ‘fishing’ go anywhere is always queuing. N oso rejection.

Got once fish at one latitude kenna 2 twice rejection. Knn. then came 1 japanese guy go cq. short distance. haiz.

To TS Bro,

Btw, pls dun get me wrong… There r limo cab drivers whom mainly do sweeping and take MDTcurrent jobs… They can survive easily (just lower their expectations) as their limousine views and objectives are different from the “real limousine drivers” like me.

Doing mainly limousine-related jobs need a lot of farming (distribution of name cards) and harvest them when the time is right.

Time spend servicing and lots of soliciting are the main keys to success. It won’t be easy for sure.

Online internet websites…. Is only a source of soliciting for potential new businesses.. Some months good.. Some months eat grass and pay for internet cost as well. You may get a lot of enquiries but no firm jobs or even from your competitors. Haha.

Rbs70 SG

Waw piang! By writing also cannot short cut....

What I mean is not to angkat DH, but if really need to, why not? Learn as much and maybe 1 day, you might excel better than him, this is real life...

Infact what I really mean is, if possible, be a relief driver for a DH....although night not many MSW, but if really have, as a hirer, definitely will take care of relief first...

Than after master all the neccessary skill....throw key to him and become DH loh...

Rbs70 SG

By sweeping or normal current jobs, don need to drive white....

Get the cheapest rental as possible....that's my point....

Drive limo MUST do limo jobs....even G-Jobs also can consider....

One already know night difficulty, still commit to high rental, make no sense....that extra you earn should be in your pocket, not to the hirer....

Just_do_it_lah SG

If purely sweeping…
Then, paying a higher rental for a limousine cab over a Sonata makes no sence.

I have some limousine cab kakis jump to Sonata and they are happier that way. The choice is yours as we can only share with u our opinions.

I can’t dedicate to you what u must do or u can’t.

The final decision lies on your objective(s) why u preferred a white over the blue or yellow.

Just_do_it_lah SG

Phone rang liao…
Me go do my job liao…. Bye bye. Haha.

Rbs70 SG

Phone rang liao…
Me go do my job liao…. Bye bye. Haha.

You make me log in....than run away.....

Just joking....this is the real limousine driver, phone must RING....
