Singapore Roads.
-
As a cabby you must know the destination, some direction given by the pax some maybe thru your own experience, like poolman old ginger is good, but i can bet you some roads once mentioned he still need sometime to visualise where is the place or sometime no nothing at all..issit. everydays each and every cabbies sure face some difficulty on road names...sometime it became a jokes.
Example Siglap Bank...knn where the hell there is a bank in Singapore named after Siglap, as we know DBS OCBC POSB knn Yes there is a road named as Siglap Bank. This is my past experience as a new driver faced.
Wood there are many named under woods on Singapore roads. Where is Maplewood Park? Aln told aiya easy lah Dunearn Road...than you know wrong again.
Pine Grove and there are Pine Lane. without street directory or GPS once they on board. the first thing we must know where the hell is this place?
-
At first , Pine Grove i thought it's just a Condo name , but if u go into Pandan Valley , there is a road named Pine Grove .
Pine Lane is like tai ko kena call know one ..... for a long time , i never seen this Pine Lane before .
When i start driving taxis , no such road la as Pine Lane , Pine Lane was like 2004 or 2005 then have if i am not wrong . The old road like is what Jalan Satu , Jalan Dua , Jalan Tiga like that .....
-
it's ok new cabby dunno such names , but the more u on the road , the more u'll discovered new roads for you .
But general roads a must know .
Like Holland Road , Grange Road , Bt Timah Road , Upper Serangoon Road , Thomson road , Lornie Road .
Don't mixed Lornie Road and Leonie Road .
And also dun mixed Leonie Hill Road and Leonie Road .
-
Soon u guys will face pax telling you : " Yio Chu Kang Road please ."
Then u must return back a question : " Ma'am , Which part of Yio Chu Kang Road ? It's a long stretch ."
P/S : Yio Chu Kang one end is at Upper Serangoon Road ( Hougang 3 mile )
The other end at Upper Thomson Road .
Fucking long u know ?
-
see ... for those pax who stayed at Yio Chu Kang Road , i really hope one fine day , they can go and explore which end it's Yio Chu Kang Road , then they'll know our misery there .
-
Same la , one fine day , one pax will tell you : " Upper Serangoon Road ! "
Usually i hear Upper Serangoon Road i buay simi song liao , but i will still asked : " Which part ? very long u know ? "
KNN Upper Serangoon Road , from Lavender Road there start .... until Punggol u know ?
-
Last one is : " Upper Bt Timah Road ."
Usually those who tell u " Upper Bt Timah Road " is FT , ang mo etc ... non locals .
They have no idea how fucking long is this Upper Bt Timah Road ....start from Bt Timah Plaza , up til Bt Panjang la .....
They usually stay at SpringDale la ...... or SouthHaven 1 or Southaven 2 condos ...
Or maybe Hume Ave also possible .
Hillside Condo also can be called Upper Bt Timah Road ...... knn Hazel Park Condo also address Upper Bt Timah Road . Linear Condo also ma .....
If u dun ask , good luck to u .
From can go by BKE , become like go by lan lan Upper Bt Timah Road .
Local is Hazel Park Condo , usually their straight away Hazel Park Condo !!!
Even SpringDale , they said as : Bukit Timah " , not even " Upper Bt Timah " .
Like some over-educated type , will said very proudly : " Hindhede Walk ( pronoun as Hin-he-d Walk " , think we dunno , knn , hahahahah .
-
i also hate pax tell me : " Upper East Coast Road ."
KNNBCCB he got no idea how fucking long is this Upper East Coast Road !!!!
-
That's all i can think of .... just bear in mind those roads mentioned above , ask exact location .
Imagine one day at East Coast Seafood Centre .....
One pax got up , and say : " Yio Chu Kang Road ."
So u know , terror ? Without asking ?
So u travel up to Still Road , go into PIE , exit Paya Lebar happily ..... up to Upper Paya Lebar Road , then Yio Chu Kang Road liao ( near Philips Ave or Serangoon Ave 4 ) , correct ?
u then asked : " Which part of YCK RD ?
The pax answered strangly : " Near AMK , CastleGreen Condo ! Where are we now ? "
AMK ???????? -
One time , my friend ( ALN ) , asked : " Where is WestWood Condo ? "
I purposed answer him : " Jurong West Jalan Bahar ! " Hahahahahah
Lucky he smart ..... knn .....
-
When pax said : " Season Park Condo "
Pls don't sent them to Orchard Boulevard , it's next to Castle Green Condo off Yio Chu Kang Road , near Lentor Road junction .
-
Another i wanna mention : " Far East please uncle ."
KNN Far East what ?
Pls ask ...
Can be Far East Plaza ...
Can be Far East Shopping Centre ....
If u kelong Far East SC or Plaza , still ok ...
But if Far East Sq , knn ur backside will kena butter and jam from paxes !!!!

I think Yio Chu Kang not the longest , i think Upper Serangoon longer than Bt Timah ...Upper Serangoon now even longer
From Lavender Side to Punggol 21 .
Bt Timah also quite long ...
I dunno , just my own opinion .
-

Hope to know even shorter road , hahahahahah I want to know , maybe i should post a thread asking people to view their shortest road .
-

OMG! pool dun know CCK link???!!!! where have u been these 7 years?!..... somemore his home ground!.....hahaha stagmont joins CCK link... separated by railway track..... near your caltex where u always wash and smoke.... not shortest?.... each is only 80m i think
-
When i went for my taxi excursion, the instructor told us the shortest road in singapore is Finlayson Green, Shenton Way, near the AIA bldg.
-
Are you sure or not since when? as i know the shortesrt road should be as below. Think your instructor must go for recourse again.
Shortest Road - The shortest road in Singapore is not Short Street or Lorong Pendek. But, it is Tua Kong Green, measuring only 25m long!
-
lol i thought finlayson green shorter
finlayson green is just the distance between two traffic lights.
