i saw some taxi drivers ignore the risk of kenna accident...the way they just rush into the left lane when someone wave their hands late....horrible..... -
i oso wanna set aside 300 for transport
but if i do that... means... no need to eat liao -

Encountered the same thing on Sunday. I noticed it abt 2 mins after i hopped on and i told Uncle straightaway. Sekali "hao xing mei hao bao", he said.. "Aiya! Y didn't tell me juz now?"
Kauz...!
For the previous experiences, most cabbies just asked me to pay the usual amt. -

if you get an increment you should save it, not take cabs.Originally posted by shinta:it's either i'm late, or i'm early by 30 min..

luxury only mah, not necessity...
once i worked with this manager who told me his car is only for going to work, on weekends he and family will take bus/mrt to places...( cos i was curious how come he knows wat bus nos to take to go to many places, usually i would hear ppl telling me, sory i don't know the bus to take here or there cos i drive or i only take cab) -
Originally posted by dragg:if you get an increment you should save it, not take cabs. i noe... dun worry... won't do that everyday... only on days when i'm left with just half an hour to reach office
anyway.. even if i get an increment, i dun get to touch them they're all gg to loan repayments... ah nel will make sure of that -
depends on wat kinda cab and where the meter display is placed
usually i sit on the left side, blocked by the seat.....so cannot see he press or no press.....
and during the journey, im either sleeping or looking at scenery.....not scrutinizing the meter....
