Got one MangoMan asking what no drivers like Kin Gu ?
Can any kind soul do a simple update on those rentals , benefits .
The Pros and Cons of the kin gu ?
For poolman ......
1.too big to handle
2.Car wash expensive , wash myself very shiong .
3.If i Q at taxi stand , other cabbies will look at me differently .
4.Many paxes will not flag for me , cos they might think my cab cost more .
5.I must have lobang to survive a Kin Gu .
6.No adundance of SMRT calls
7.Fuel consumption high .
8.After 12am , only i can find cheap diesel at Geylang lor 1 .
U seen any SsangYong zipping inside town , like a Toyota Wish or Hyundai Sonata ?
Have you seen a Ssangyong at 120km/h at ECP ?
I don't .
And of course , i am a PRO CNG driver .
Diesel ? Fuck la , damage our already damaged environments .
i mean .... we must drive a cab , or a car look alike type of vehicle to work , not a VAN .
Sorry , my opinion .
Maybe i had prejudice against SMRT Taxi Corporation .
Cos all the while , i still insist , SMRT must focus on running properly their SMRT network , leave taxi business to someone else .
Stop busybodying other people business .
If SMRT created a taxi company , that provides competition to ComfortDelgro , it's fine , we love it .
But no leh , competition ? They still leasing out their Cedric and Crown , when almost half of CDG Crown already as scrap metal liao .
Some was scrapped , & their condition is much better than SMRT current fleet .
sigh i wonder why someone who juz got a TDVL will wanna consider to be a hirer? even worse a kin gu hirer.
Kin gu need a lot of contacts one. u wanna use that to sweep floor? sweep until when then can see $ ? . everything abt the kin gu is high like wad KC said.
pls la guys, start off with something that is low cost. relief $50 rental . let you drive 12 hrs not enough?
Same like ComfortDelgro , mind your own taxi business . Leave bus and mrt service to someone else .
Temasek Holding must provide funding to ST Engineering to run NEL , not SBS Transist !!
If an engineering company cannot do a good MRT network , what makes u thinks a bus company can do ?

Sorry to ask i still toooooo young so don't know history. SBS first or Smrt bus first? Comfort start with taxi or Bus? When i very small i remember my ah ma bring me out take bus those bus ni na bei like ai si buay si like that HORHORHORHOR...si bei cha...
SBS was Singapore owns bus service .
Then Trans Island was set up by Mrs Lee Kuan Yew .
SMRT was set up by LTA to run Singapore's First MRT projects .
Successful , make money after 10 years in the red .
Then Trans Island cannot tahan , sold their shares to SMRT , then SMRT got bus service .
Then taxi service .
Then they cock up the whole show then .
Their bus service and taxi service lose a bit every year , taxi service killed them .
Bus also affect them , cos they need new funding for new buses , never make money , how to buy ? So up the MRT fare lor .
LTA wanted them to run NEL , but they lost the tender to SBS Transist , which was taken over by Delgro Engineerings a few year back .
In the Red still this SBS Transist .
Ask and you will be answered, Thanks to lao jiao and taxi god. I understand now and you have given me much great wisdom.
Why I asked is that I am driving a van right now and delivering goods but my back injury is hurting and it hurts when I carry things that are too heavy.
I noticed that the height of the Kin gu is about the same as the van and thus old habit die hard. I am decided to become a hirer but I would most probably start as a relief.
Thanks again.
Wise to start as relief .
FT is a relief - happy man !
Uncle Lim Seng a relief - always a happy man !
Poolman - never will be hirer , need to say more ?
Tio Call Liao - need to say more ? A relief . A solid relief , his take home more than any OMO here .
Komade - Power Cabby
Sonata83 - Another PowerPack cabby , $4000 dollar man .
Vee43171 - Old and happy but cunning relief .
ALN - a lousy relief , but happy one .
Moh Toh Leng - A good relief and a happy relief .
Who else ?
To Kalimango ....
If your back has got problems , get it done . Heal it all !
Cos taxi driving will make your back pain worst .
Go acupuncture , and get it fixed .
Or else , driving and sitting for consecutive 8 hours e'day , will ruined your back .

Good news .
DC , Desmond Cheng , our new SsangYong driver , now seem stablized down , he called me to inform SATS info .

I just call him , T3 need how many cabs ? ICC 1 need how many cabs , his walkie first hand info .
That's what so good about forum , cos we can get so much contact , that can be useful to our daily jobs.
