Actually, there's a way to beat the scheme A suspension in CDG though a bit ley chey. Upon yr third "A" rejection, start taxi meter before suspension message appears. Drive around till meter display $3.80 to $4.00 and restart meter. Now, u got 1 more chance. Useful if u driving down Nichol and given job at Mustafa 4 example. U should switch 2 "B" after 2nd rejection coz during peak hours, they anyhow hamtam tai ko calls to u (usually just outside CBD).

Bro Topview, after reading your post, I'm guessing you're sharing how to beat the 1 hr suspension should a driver rejects 3 jobs.
In fact, I just tried out this method on Sunday. After the message "You have rejected 3 jobs", it will go back to the normal screen. What I did was I changed it from Scheme A to Scheme B and left it there for about 5 mins. Thereafter, I changed it back to Scheme A again. I was not suspended for 1 hr.
Bros here who are driving for Comfort can try.

That is one reason why i left Comfort .
I paid Top Dollars for their taxi , paid them $0.50 per piece of shit to Woodlands , spent my own diesel money to come all the way to town again , to suffer suspension after rejecting 3 calls from outside CBD !
This one nevermind , when they need us , they lift the suspension .
WTF , right ?
-
Bro wrxs204, thanks for sharing. Will give yr method a try. Bro Zero5 is correct. When CDG suka, they'll suspend u immediately after 3 rejections. When there's an acute shortage of taxis, u can reject as many as u want and they still offer u jobs despite officially having 'suspended' u. KNN.

Why so worry about the suspension? Let them lo, they need u more then u need them when town on fire, when industrial on fire. Join LV and u will know heaven and hell different. Save all the trouble for what change to A or B, on off meter la..let them suspend u. I use to got suspend everyday but always 5-10min into the 1hr suspension i get call again. Now my mdt always off...9/10 call u get u have to use CTE or KPE. Only when ti gong bo bi then u get those bagus call. A friend got a call from wisma to conrad he sms me must go buy 4D liao. Comfort got such good call...hahaha....

dun why my mdt always got message 'meter not linked", "check connection cable". but once u press the meter, the mdt okay liao, then after a while, the message come out again.. i went to auto class, they change one new one for me, yet the same thing happen again.. do any bros driving transcab face such problem?
the other problem i have is that sometimes even when press hired, the cab top lcd still shows green light "taxi", that is why sometimes when pax on board, people on the street still flag cos my top still shows green.. do any bros have such problem also?

It take step by step .
MDT course is about 6 hours .
3 hours theory .
2 hrs practical
Last hour test .
A course my son also can passed .
I was a CDG driver started without a MDT .
So no course involve .
Then after they instal the Sapphire on my hire's cab , it took me about 2 weeks , then take the course , but knn by the time , i know all features liao .
A waste of my time .
But for current drivers , once u signed up for CDG , they will booked a date for you to take the course .
Including the MDT , those technical knowledge , those cashless transaction .
Here say no use , must touch , feel , and learn .

Need to check with bros here with Comfort...
I've been switching between Scheme A & B eversince I found the way to avoid the suspension.
Would the company take any action? Eg, warning, barring all calls in future

very unlikely. Too small a matter to lose sleep over with. -

Why should they give u warning , barring all calls when they implement such system ?Got logic ?
If u dun want people to abuse it , dun implement it !

Bro Zero5, you've got a point there.
Anyway, I was just wondering about it. As we know, when things are done once a while, it's alright, but if it becomes too frequent, they might wana take action to show their power....
This is a sidetrack to the "Wish 2L" thread. I'm unable to post there as it is locked. Just to share, when I was driving the 2L Wish, my highest mileage achieved on CNG was 335+. Managed to achieve that once. Thereafter, whenever it hit 280km, I will go pump as I do not wana waste time

This sunday when i drive... I'll take pics of the MDT and do a simple walk thru here... will that be a problem?
