Taxi is a business , not just a job .
Business is about strategy , no strategy means losing necessary time & income .
Taxi is also about Supply & Demand
Supply more = Less demand = Less income .
Demand more = Less Supply = More income
More demand = Less Supply = More bookings = More $$$ !
So .... how do i know where SInagpore got booking ? Thank You , i know when you dial-a-cab !
Cabbies just know when , which , where , why and what make commuters dial for a cab , it's about strategy .
Cabbies must have WITS la , easier to work - Wisdom , Initiative , Technics, Skills .
Without WITS , very hard ! -
nowadays even the booking got more advance..
that day 2am just book for a cab no need to talk anything. Just "Wait for your Cab at xxxx" no one ask where were we going
sometimes also see some taxis parking along lonely private housing estates trying to get a fast bookiing -
