To enjoy the trade is only in the beginning, after a few month
to a year, enjoyment became judgment, you decide to carry on or
not, if so, you will drive for life.
Last time driving taxi, before UG, still very passionate, cos
can make lot of money, now also can make, but about 10% lesser,
problem is now, you even have to work harder for pathetic fares, so
the passion will slowly diminish as the trade slowly dissolve
itself into the disruptor hands.
But as a lau Uncle, or those driving for more than 5 years, it
is very hard for you to go back to working life, because you will
not able to withstand the discipline and someone ruling on top of
your and all other office politics.
Furthermore, who would want to employ lau locals in today job
market, so it is better for lau uncle to carry on driving, evolve
and adapt to changes, because no matter how you kpkb about UG or
apps, they are already here and evolving. Just hear a girl told her
friend she took grabhitch from Chua Chu Kang, (my ex chief place)
to AP only $16…
