Singapore population (including tourist and others) is at
6millions at any one time.
Today taxis and UG number stand at 75,000 with UG having more
drivers, however, about 30,000 are part timers and only drive
mostly at night after their day jobs.
Given that 4 millions never use taxis or UG, either they take
bus or mrt, or could be children, housewife, or those with pte
cars, we are left with abt 2 million paxs available for 75,000
driver to pick.
Morning, less UG driving, so taxi and UG combine could be at
50,000 serving abt 2 millions or less paxs, at night all UG driver
on the road, that is why at nite, taxi driver have a harder time to
find pax not to mention the surcharges.
Base on the above number, taxi driving is still viable, key is
you go figure out where are the paxs
