U asked ladies this question ?
I don't like to ask ladies , cos they never will know which way to go .
I just go by my prefer route .
I always like to hear "Uncle just go by the fastest way n get me hm"......... :P
sometime i ask paxs, kenna scolding from them.."you TD dunno how to go meh!!"
ladies are poor at road directions, cannot read maps and like to do make up and chat on the phone when in the taxi. Am I right? hehe
Ladies or not ladies, if they tell you your wish, I very scare, later they will sure ask why you never go by this or that way, or why never turn left or right....
Thats why I prefered tourists over locals...
versatile la ..... tourist also good , local also must be good at .
Then u are complete player
my wife is an example. she will not hesitate to ask taxi drivers why they didnt go this way that way. I am more chin chye because all roads in singapore leads to rome :)
or u can ask them "U wan go hm fast??? Veri Fast???
Or KNN UNCLE I WAN TO BE HM NOW!!!!" :P
no need wait for cabbie to ask
sometimes when i know the way i will just say which route to take
if i first time go or not sure, i will say "fastest way"
but tt does not mean he can send me to hor-lan and back bcos i will know!
i think telling the TD to drive faster, that's kind of irritating for you guys right? That's what my wife likes to do hehe. And she thinks it's perfectly normal LOL
Driving faster hor might end up very expensive leh. Passenger can don't mind paying the extra, but if the TD's license kenna gandong, there goes his livelihood. Not worth it.
speaking of the fastest way.... TD which route is the fastest when taking passangers from Woodlands to AMK street 52?
For me, its SLE > CTE > AMK ave 5 > AMK st52 (not sure)
but this TD took this route
SLE > Lentor > past NYP > then somehow, reach AMK st52
TDs what do u think. For me, I think the TD took me to horlan.
but nvm i enjoyed the scenary.
He didn't. I believe that is the standard route we would take for tis trip. Your route is good if you drive an open top car to send your babe home but for us TDs, it's a delicate task balancing speed and cost because some paxs value time over money while others is the opposite.
Plainly said, the fastest is not always the cheapest and the slowest not most expensive. Glad you enjoyed the scenery in horlan.
It never has a 'one size fits all' method. Its all depends on what sort of pax. Locals are more particular on their routes unless it is a total new route that they are not sure. Just be tackful and caution.
Before you move off or press 'start', Just ponder for a few seconds on (a) where is it? (b) how to go there? (c) which is the better route to take at this time? (d) any alternatives route/s in case...

A famous quote by ladies .
" The fastest , quickest , cheapest , no jam way "
Classic dun know which way to go quote .
A few years back , long before KPE .
If u wanna go Hougang , better ask pax .
CTE or Upper Serangoon Road ?
Most will go by Upper Serangoon Road , reason ? CTE jam !
Fucking excuse , Upper Serangoon also jam .
Now to Hougang , it's for me : " Hello , KPE can ? "
It's still KPE or KPE ?
But still i prefer not to kena go Hougang .
I ever answered to pax who told me : Cheapest shortest fastest no jam route
" Hello , cheapest doesn't mean quickest , quickest doesn't mean shortest , shortest doesn't mean cheapest .
So in the end , they will say : " Ok uncle , go by whichever route u think is best ."
hahahahahaha

haha gd description bro~~~~
hmmmm i use this method whenever a pax comes onboard. example raffles city to thomson plaza.
i will always give them 2 options, go by cte or thomson?? then they will errr err both also can... haha ho seh liao , take cte la . but some will say no cte , go by thomson. ok fine i go by tat way. Eventually , there will be no dispute.
Stay out of trouble , go whichever way the pax wants.
