BUT theres a final catch with silver! see if anyone taken note also..its significant (to me, maybe not others) [edit: sorry 2 catches. both are significant to me]

There is another problem with SMRT. The $1000 or $1500 deposit that you place with SMRT can only be returned after 1 year. Anything earlier, u have to forfeit $50 after 6 months or $300 before 6 months.
i remembered their annual driver renewal fee was $78. phui comfort only 21.60 if im not wrong. just imagine based on their fleet of 3,000 then , they collected 3 times more than comfort.
Drive for any other company la , in fact drive for pte yellow top is better than SMRT

It's the fundamantals of analysis of whether taxi tan wo jiak bo .To give any layman , it's not difficult to see figure out taxi can or not .
Just give them RWS and Marina Sands this 2 factors will make them convince taxi can .
Sgforums encourage more locals that lost their jobs , sit 3 months not working , with class 3 license , to consider it as a stepping stone before getting another full time job .
At the same time , understand what's life of a taxi driver , then they'll not complaint too much .
The most important thing is , family has got food on the table each day .
Is the rest more important than bringing food onto the table and education for the kids ?
Nothing can compromise that for sure !!!
if u have hands , and legs , won't die one .
And those correct mentallity . Never say die mentallity .
Taxi can help you curb these problems .
Taxi to become a millionaire ?
Then dun drive a cab , cannot !!!

If many here think becoming Manager of a company , and prospect is important in your life .
Like being a CEO of any company is important , that u need others to look up on you .
Dun be a cabby .
Not people will look up on you , only u yourself look up on yourself .
Do i care how people looked at me ?
No i dun care and i dun give a damn .
I care more about how much i bring home everyday .

I like what ceo pool is saying. When I first started driving, me always feel so bad about taking the wrong way, feel sad when pax f me up. But now, me armoured liao, left ear go in, right ear out. Do I care? Unless it's really my fault, otherwise they are just another unreasonable pax to me.
It will take some times for newbie to adjust to the life of a TD, but don't gave up just after 1-2 mths, u never know you could really make it in this line.
I must thanks ceo pool for all the helps he have given me since I join lakeview. He takes very good care of me. I see my earning jump since I joined. I am looking to hit $4k as my target this month. I don't know if I can make it since now sats job change abit, but I am taking up this challenge.
The only way I can repay people helping me is to give back more when I more stable in LV. This is in line with ceo pool mottoes.

Yah Thanks, don't blame me for becoming a hirer. Du lan liao Yellow cab taxi here I come.

Hi all seniors, what is png, and pasar malam har?

Ngkialeong888 has practically said all that is about SMRT. I am a new driver 8 months ago and I take SSanyeong MPV. The vehicle is good for tan jia but unfortunately because of what Ngkialeong888 has said, u will find it fustrating to drive SMRT cabs.
If you are new driver and dun wan commitment, join as a relief. Otherwise NEVER join SMRT just because it look cool or attractive. Trust me they are not. That scheme that says garantee $2k is ****(fill in the word urself).
You are sort of a businessman when you are a taxi driver. U dun owe anyone anything. You are a businessman that rent from the best taxis company who offer the best deal. U dun drive for anyone but urself. The taxi company merely offer the vehicle for u to tan jia because of government ruling that all taxi driver can no longer own their private vehicle to earn a decent and honest living.
The scheme that SMRT offer practically makes you an employee. In that scheme, you become a worker and not a businessman. Why do u wan to be enslave by them? As if working outside is not enough. On top of that, the vehicle being offered is the one everyone is avoiding. Why take over the shit that no one want. if u like playing with shit may as well be a gardener or a landscape artist. Trust me, they are better paid and more dignified.
I can rant whole day about SMRT, but the last thing I wan is to see defamation suit coming to my house. So I gonna stop here. You are a freeman, u decide for yourself. If u in the end really wan to join SMRT, by all means. But my advice is that there is, in my own opinion, 3 vehicle that is worth renting. The Crown, the Nissan and SSanyeong(dun cry ah for the first 3-6 months).
Seriously, go Transcab better.

tats why up till now i find it very silly to broadcast takings here but our skipper fail to see that.
He thinks nobody can fix us. To him , LTA is invisible one, taxi co is also invisible, commuters are invisible. they do not know how to come here and read wats going on.
when i post , i always leave a back door so that in case of anything , i got an escape route.
and im very sure skipper will counter this post with his logic and thinking again.

for someone with 10 yrs of driving experience , already should know that this bizness is cyclical.
One example , at the height of the sub prime crisis when AIG and Citi almost toh, look at the streets of shenton way & orchard, all littered with blue lanterns. Tuas factories stopped overtime , workers do not need to go home so late. cabs were circling around , desperate to find a spot near to the factory that will call.
Calls from changi south , north tai seng were almost non existent. those were bad bad times.
please , whatever that u earn now , do not go around shouting. save watever that u have for u will never know when a crisis can just hit us with a big bang.
-
reporters have come into this forum to get a hang of whats going on. why do we need to feed them info?
everything a report comes out that takings have increase , there just may be a chance that taxi cos will hike rentals. sure , they have their own data on hand but lets not feed them additonal info shall we?
-
when bad times come , it does not matter whether is blue , red , turbo , F1, white or watever taxi, everyone will die. dont wanna go ah wood? ah seng? pick outside cbd? sorry no chance bros , u better go if not u wont know when your next fare will come.
in the TD line , keeping a low profile is the best coz there are simply no barriers to entry for this trade and we are at the mercy of the authorities and the taxi cos.
