This Saturday , is the EVE .....
Night shifts take note .
6pm start , got $1 Holiday surcharge .
So 6pm , meter start at $3 , plus peak hour $1.05 , and $1 holiday surcharge . Toyota Crown use normal crown's rate plus $1 .
No need to do anything to taximeter , all automatic .
Hari Raya is one of the Best Holiday Eve among so many .
The best after New Year Eve and X'Mas Eve follow by May Day Eve , National Day Eve .
It's falls on a Saturday , as in , maybe 8pm start , the war then slowly start .
Up to maybe 5am .... still can get those leftovers at Clarke Quay .
If start at 4pm , til 12am , i can assure you $200 collection or more , no problem .
End day at 5am , $380 -$400 would be an average figure for most .
Good luck guys .
So OMOs , Friday night would be a so-so Friday Night , of course still got diehard Friday party goers , but the main dish this weekend , Hari Raya Eve .
OMOs ... if possible , go back and rest early , Saturday chiong from 3pm , all the way to 3am , 12hours . If physical condition still tip-top until 4am , anytime $380-$400 collection , sup sup water .
As for Hari Raya itself on Sunday , still got $1 until Tuesday 12am .
Morning i think so-so , up to 10.30am , will be all driving until 3pm , then the wave stops . Cos those Muslims will be having makan at home or grandparents houses .
8pm , then slowly pick up again .
Hari Raya day itself , night shift fellas surely die cock standing . No business one .
On Hari Raya Day itself , can try Vivo , Harbourfront and Sentosa ... cos those Foreign Talent from India , nothing to do , surely go Sentosa with their family ....
Also take note , East Coast Park oso will have many FT from India , many stay tai ko Amber Road and Amber Garden one .
Holiday FT surely go beaches .... dunno why ?
FT and ang mo oso like to go Mandai Zoo .
Bangala will be saturated at Tekka ..... celebrating Hari Raya . Bangala all muslims .
Sunday night can forget about going Pubs and Clubs , no more liquor .... most closed on Sunday .
Hari Raya .... if hit into Orchard or Suntec , if can , anytime , getta out of there , and go places like Bedok , Yishun , Woodlands , Tampines , Jurong West , Boon Lay , teck Whye etc where Muslim population is more .
if u get into Tanjong Rhu , don't hope for Muslims , unless that ang mo is converted muslim .
I love Bedok ...
Once Hari Raya , at Jurong West St 73 , one family came up , and said : " Thank You Uncle , i waiting for a long time , Bedok South pls . AYE > ECP can . "
Steam .
Then at Bedok , another Muslim family: " Uncle , Boon Lay Drive ! "
ECP > AYE can ? Anyway Uncle .
Malay on Hari Raya is the best .
This Weekend Long Weekend , Woodland checkpoint take note , Friday surely jammed at Wlands BKE .

Ok good luck guy !!!
It's a challenge ahead today ..... cos of road blocks in Chinatown , and bright lights at Marina Centre .... and those barricade inside Suntec can make you blur .
Chiong ar !!!!
All taxi buddy huat big time tonight!
Again like National Day Eve , more a Saturday than a Holiday Eve .
Peak Hour were bad ...everywhere taxis .
Overall did about $280 , about $140 midnights .
To start at 4pm , rest 1 hour from 7pm to 8pm , than restart again , @$140 before midnight were bad , nightmares for me .
I expect $200 before midnight , and $180 midnight , end $380 .... town were unexpectedly quiet for an Eve .
Where is all the party-goers ?
Just another Saturday .....
The closure of Chinatown , like i expected , caused many downfall .
I will analyse all those happening for both the National Day Eve and Hari Raya Eve .
A sad day for many cabby i think .
Some did $230 , some did $295 , one did slightly above $300 , i never heard anyone did above $350 . Hope many did it , not me .
My peak hour killed me . I think i did about less than $50 .
My third best holiday eve .... too bad it happen on a Saturday .....
I analyse with my friends , at the washing bay ....
Some said 20th of the month , month end ...
Some said many left Singapore for a short trip oversea .
Some said too many part timers driving on a Saturday , unlike other working days .
I said the closure of Chinatown .
Some said PSLE coming , parents stay home .
Some said $1 holiday surcharge deprive them the urge to take a cab .....
Too bad , cabby missed a great chance to cover the overheads for the weak Monday ahead .
next PH is the Deepavali Day , eve falls on a Sunday , thank god i am not driving , off !!!!
Then following Monday , die cock standing .

All points here are quite true contributing to the bad day.
