Quick Advice for customers taking taxi during ......
-
X'mas period , @ Orchard Rd , and CBD Area
From 8.20pm onwards , til 11.30pm .
Below listing is places u can forget about Q-ing for cab , if below listing "accidentally " happen to be your waiting place , "Book" a cab !
Ngee Ann City
Lucky Plaza
Shaw Centre
Hyatt
Marriott
Centre Point
Wisma Atria
Great World City
Specilaist
Suntec City
ParkLane
Raffles City etc .....
Basically , places around City Area .
U'll not simply get a cab by waving on the street if you see those X'mas lighting on !
Trust me and good luck !
This month is the month when taxi drivers earns their yearly bonus . That's why !
Last night (Friday) taxi drivers all say " Bingo! "
Customers can actually wait at the taxi stand until 1.30am !
This is what we call "Bingo! "
Don't say I never say hor ! -
Imagine this .... me start work at 4.00 pm , and from the moment i hit town , my booking jobs non-stop until 1.30am , i can still get booking jobs @1.30am at Bugis Junction Taxi stand !!
Customers on the street waving for me no chance at all , me "on-Call" liao !
All thanks to the rain too !!!
X'mas period $2.40 flag down taxi service can only get at ulu housing estate !
The more nearer to city or town , the lesser ur chance of getting a cab by waving !
And my nett salary double last night to $200 . Just 4pm to 1.30am work !
This is Bingo !!!
I expect the scenario to go on until 31st December 2005 ! -
woohoo! taxi frenzy!
does your "bonus" extends to Chinese New Year as well? or is just Christmas is the main draw? -
gong xi gong xi!
like that means you from CBD fetch customer (back home), then rush down to CBD again? not bad ah
but then if count on off-peak current booking, only $2.50, add on Peak Period 5-8pm/ Public Holiday, and CBD surcharge, plus flag down, already $6.90.

Taxi drivers always says business very bad. Too many taxis and too few passengers. Now cannot trust them. All only knows how to hide and wait for oncall. FUck theM.

Only after 11.00pm is $2.50 .
Peak hour +$1 = $$2.40 + $4.00 + $1
closed door $7.40 !
Inside CBD lagi shiok $7.40 + $1 City Charge , sit door $8.40 !
If $2.50 , tell them ( ComfortDelgro) go fly kite ! -
Non-Comfort taxis business a bit bad la , they not much "On-Call" la , Comfort "On-Call" business very powerful .Originally posted by Manager433:Taxi drivers always says business very bad.

Booking can generate 40% of the daily income . -

Some places like Loyang area , Changi prison area also got booking .
If we near City , we rush down , town is a piece of gold mine now .
It's like describing money all over the road waiting for us to pick . -
yeah Comfort taxis big advantage.. many bookings.. many taxis, high success booking rate.. everyone happy.. The fare also cheaper.. jump slower.. last time took TIBS taxis meter jump so fast!
woohoo!! -
Wrong , now all taxi companies the jumping time is the same with Comfort . They have to follow what The Big brother do , or they'll lost out .Originally posted by 105090:yeah Comfort taxis big advantage.. many bookings.. many taxis, high success booking rate.. everyone happy..

woohoo!!
If meter jump too slow , no driver want to drive .
If meter jump too fast , no customer want to sit .
The best ? Same with Comfort lor ! -

Funny , everyday i got at least 4 dollars tips , the SMRT drivers no tips meh ?Originally posted by dragg:SMRT is suggesting to commuters that they give tips to drivers that provide good service.

Taxi very good business ma , why must beg for tips ? So disgraceful !
SMRT like beggar now !
Every fare for instance , is $11.20 , my customer will usually give $12 , take the change .
If $11.80 lagi no need to say , sure give $12 .
Some even good , especially ang mo City go Airport , $16 trip , pay $20 one ! -
Think I should print a sign board put infront of my cab - " No Tipping Please !"
To protest on SMRT , and to show commuters taxi drivers are no beggar ! -
SMRT Mdm Ah-Saw, you really disgrace all taxi drivers leh.
Now their taxi drivers like machiam begging for $$$ liao. -
Evil you know. Tips are meant to be willingly given... This SMRT ah...Originally posted by dragg:SMRT is suggesting to commuters that they give tips to drivers that provide good service.

Nvm, get back to topic. -
i was at Orchard Road Plaza Singapura shopping centre last friday (16th), at about 10pm+
there was a long long queue of taxis at the taxi stand.. people with big big bags just queue and the queue numbers about 50+ people!!
on the other hand, taxis may be easier to get in the heartlands? becos u can flag them down before the cabbies goes back to town for another fare? -
Poolman..
will the few days before Chinese New Year experience such taxi shortages?
How about 1st/ 2nd day?
Sure many cabbies will want to visit relatives or carry on working? CNY only $1 extra rite?.. -
What is the booking surcharge on CNY?
-
for ComfortDelgro, at least, it is $2.50 (Current Booking) and $5.20 (Advance Booking).Originally posted by SBS9889U:What is the booking surcharge on CNY?
And a mandatory $1 surcharge from 6pm of CNY eve to 2nd day of CNY midnight, which is from saturday 6pm to tuesday 12 mindight -
Will there be a shortage of taxis when cabbies go to pai nian on the CNY holidays.

On Friday at 7pm, there was a taxi Q of 20+ passengers at Sim Lim Square.
On Saturday night, significant drop in taxis on the streets. Many taxis going to the City at CTE are 95% HIRED. means many cabs are heading to city hired, and to heartland hired also.. (no need an empty trip/way).
At chinatown on 11pm CNY eve, available taxis are near impossible to flag, unless u book.
Happy CNY!
