Guru ALN like this kind, do you still take the last order. Will be returning the taxi at 5.20pm. your comment….Normally can you make it with Sonata this marathon runner machine. 4.50pm AMK to T3 to sengkang? i confirm reject... why? cos at most peak surcharge only 10mins... not much... and empty back... some more, estimate will reach sengkang at 530pm.. eh day time leh... i wont go beyond 110km/h... if your hirer collect exactly at 5.20pm, not nice also lah... so kin, did u whack? relax and home early to look at your crystal better lah... haha....

Why?.... I, had came across from this few months driving Taxi in my mind, along the road i cruising whichever routes with the Busy sign or Change shift, Look… along the road, still paxs showing hand signal they want a cab. But a as cab driver inside the Taxi, i really puzzle without an answer. Sometime pax are figthing among each other, to get into the cab first, this kind of Kiasu syndrome did you ever encounter alway. What is your comments. But why? are they still jumble mumble in many way of available in forum or paper about we Taxi drivers. Actually we are solving their tranportation need and we provided them. So what wrong as a Taxi driver part.
If you observe a bit ... those areas is usually call-zone , many bookings type of area , like Yishun , Wland , CCK , BT PJ , Bt Batok .... and it happens only in the moring peak , and also 3pm to 4.30pm timing . -

Emerald Park .... Sir where too Emerald Park...You mean Emerald Hill behind Emerald Shopping. Wow Taxi driver how come you do'nt know where is Emerald Park. Just to confirm you where is the location you wanted to go. Come...on Man.... you should said Ganges Road or Indus Road than i know where you want . Never use this kind of big name Emerald Park. Lucky me know.... where, is a Far East project Condominium just next to the Petrol station. There are so many condos and names so this are not the outstanding and we must memeorise it, in this ulu place not much Taxi drivers will know. Sometime you need, this kind to encounter. Just to make satisfaction (you ask for it). unhappy journey.

What is the probelm actually...without Taxis sometime like this kind of thing really never end up, what you wanted to do smoothly. Taxi is the most convenient transport available.
What happen, this afternoon on-call job offer Nemesu Avenue, young lady pax. reached destination on board one young lady pax both hands wrapped with towel a dead dog carcass, with running tears...Uncle Mount Pleasant Veterinary Hospital.
My question can this be rejected, using Taxi doing undertaker job. for me it is Ok. what about all other Gurus think.
