FireIce is spot-on here . Most Limo drivers i knew is all "cho-bo-lan" past time fellas .Originally posted by FireIce:cannot afford then jus take normal cab
i do personally know some merz cab drivers and they are not hard on the money
they are a clique of their own
in fact, some wear rolex and live in semi-Ds
they say they drive to spend time and they choose to join the merz fleet bcos they themselves are merz owners
they choose it, they can afford it
so why the double standard of the flag down rate
and why can't u continue in that thread?
the silverstar is same as the other merc cab, onlty its silver colour and flag-down is $3.00.. worst than even a maxi cab flag downOriginally posted by FireIce:yah....forgot to mention about their contracted trips like hotels and airports and some places of interest....
i know some mediacorp artistes oso have their own "personal" merz cab to ferry them around
have yet to get a silverstar
wanna try leh
like very nice leh
Rolex ? Very expensive watch meh ? $3000 can get one ma , at least a second hand good condition one .Originally posted by SBS9818A:I always thought Silverstar flagdown rate is $2.60, while Smart Supreme is $3.00
Yes, Merc cab drivers (those permanent ones) really have it tough going. Mainly because many customers baulk at taking Merc cabs, thinking the rate is substantially higher.
Some of the drivers seem quite educated to me. My driver today has university qualifications and wears a Rolex.
Some Merc drivers sibei kuai lan one , depending on which company they drive .Originally posted by FireIce:yah, i find tt merz cabbies are more eloquent
they speak english (and a barrage of dialects, even malay)
they greet, they chat intellectual topics, they wish u good day when u get off....
i guess it's bcos they are commissioned to drive VIPs sometimes so they have to speak well
i did come across a relatively rude one
i open the door....he hissed "ei, u on call one ah?!"
Smart's Surpreme Limo more expensive flag-down cos their Merc uses both CNG and Petrol , petrol more expensive ma .Originally posted by SBS9818A:I always thought Silverstar flagdown rate is $2.60, while Smart Supreme is $3.00
