After midnight , Singapore is about Clarke Quay and RWS .
Simple workout la .
RWS u need skills ? No la , need patience that's all . Just Q .
Clarke Quay ?
Ok CQ is about ang mor , it's about taking trips less than $20 .
Some even as low as $7 .
If u are those type of greedy type of driver , every trip must be $30 then happy type , then u will be a very unhappy cabby , cos CQ never delivers such good amount .
But if hardworking , consistently , CQ buisness is all about Q-ing , and collectdollar by dollar .
Then again , if you are those type , like David Chong type , too crowded cannot tahan , must got to Marina South relax , wait call .... kill you also u never will go CQ , then too bad .
Then pls dun complaint income low , damn jiat lat etc.

the closing timings of the other nitespots other than CQ then
make ur way there when its time cause normally frm there
all r locals n u get to go for longer trips.
Originally posted by ALN:wah knn 8 pm take $30 is a fabulous deal. ok like that i can roughly calculate for u. 8 to 12 chow chow $80 , good $100. 12 to 230 – sats $40-$60 , 230 to 6 – conservative $30
ok taking the low side estimates wud mean $80+$40+$30 = $150 nett off $30 rent & $25 diesel still got $105.
knn… school principal anyhow report income here?
haha got one chow moderator here already let the world know how much a TD can earn. ok la since like that. report lo. but the thing is thats how i estimate if im behind the wheel. Whether someone who just gotten his TDVL and do it is a ? .

done use the middle u-turn use the 1 at the end
at the traffic light there sure np ;) Fri/sat most easy
play hijack at mainQ haha
Komade, May i know what is the meaning of "fight call". You mean who get to reply the walkie first?
Chief Pool, "Pick & Go" at airport meaning... "there is no cab queing at the moment"? or people called for cab to pick up at a specific location?
Hope senior bros can advise me. Tks.
If you know all the angmo/chinese/malay clubbing / KTV places, in and around CBD, no need to Q one. There is png business to be had up to after midnight.
Pick n Go (PNG) means long q of pax but no taxi.
Originally posted by komade:play hijack at mainQ haha
I sometimes see cabbies cutting q at the hill st / river valley rd. Not very friendly leh.
Same problem at MBS. Instead of queuing from the bayfront ave casino side, some cabbies cut q from the hotel junction because they came from the Singapore Flyer side.

Fight call means u r bidding for a job with another TD
whoever gets there 1st gets the job.
Pick n Go like ff1 said means got super long Q but no taxi
at all like at T2 the controller would stand at main rd there with
a light wand n call u directly to u-turn into T2 frm the main rd
instead of going thru the norm way which is thru the carpark.
If u get ur timings right should be able to find some png situations
at AP or at the nightspots
Tks. Another lesson learnt today!
hi all had been bz driving for the last 3 mth. 1st mth dam jialut everyday work like dog like dat. 2nd mth can see some improvment. now into my third mth can see a steady income coming in daily.
thank to all the ppl whom had give me some good advise early on. cheers
Nite time in town also can try Samsung Hub and 1 Raffles Quay. Mid-long trip from 2230hrs to about 0200hrs.
All these are bank workers which work Western countries timing. So they go back at these timing.
If u at Woodlands and at Check point. After 3am there are 2 queues. One short and one long. If u wan long trip (but may wait longer) then join the normal queue to the taxi stand. If u wan short trip (like Marsiling/Woodlands/Kranji/Yishun area) there is another queue opp the taxi stand. (they park in reverse).
If u driving normal cab, then u can try Orchard tower and Emerald Hill pubs area (just before Centerpoint). All usually short and easy trip.
At Middle Road/Park Lane area, go to the small road (Mount Sophia I think ) there is a 24 hrs food court and big nite clubs, u can try. But chances of drunkard very high.
