Do not ask me to alight at bus stop.

i dunno about hong kong.....sg many fines, and pax like to flag taxi at those possible spots that landed us in paying fines.Kenna 1 fine, whole day work gone to the drain....and no mood to work liao...some quitted......and never drive taxi again....
-
Dont ask me to U-turn when there is a No-U turn sign......
Pax will make request to do some illegal stunts.....i dunno if i am being too inflexible by not acceeding their request and not making a U-turn when there is a No-U turn signs, I dont like to break traffic rules and pay extra fines.....
Is it a cowardy act?
-
Dont ask me to stop at FULL DAY BUS LANE......
Chinatown, New bridge road......uncle, stop near mac....
Sorry cannot...I turned into temple st and alighted them at the taxi stand......
Again....not being flexible and a coward.....haha!
-
A good TD will not do illegal stuff just because of a few bucks.
Go by the book and I do not think the pax could do anything.
-
dont ask me to speed up, drive faster, i will have heart attack to change lane here and there.
-
dont tell me: "in my country, taxi driver must know the routes, they go though at least one year training......" true or not, i donno, but this is Singapore lah!
-
Taxi driver (especially night driver) follow all the rules and regulations eat what ? So many.....normal traffic rule and taxi rule n regulation. I applied what I learned in the army..."use initiative" and "....don't get caught". e.g On a rainy day pax flagged for you at bus stop. Stop 9 meters away and expect pax to run to you ?
-
Follow the rule arh ! late at night drive to taxi stand at Plaza Sing to wait for pax. Pax smarter than TD. They formed their own queue near the bus stop liao.
-
Well, sometime I do educate the commuter. Late at night pax flagged me along Shenton Way. I wind down the window. TD : yes, what can I do for you ? Pax:Uncle can take us to Canberra ? TD : Oh ! you want to take taxi ? Take taxi must go to the taxi stand. Pax: If you don't want to take us, why do you stopped ? TD : I thought you're asking for direction..... (Or you can tell them go Canberra must take a plane.)
-
i guess bus lanes are the most confusing. have yellow and red... like wts?
-
TD has the right to let the pax know that this and that is illegal.
TD has the right not to pick up pax who stand too near the bus bay or not in the taxi stand.
If both can meet, TD will not afraid of being getting fine or complain.
-
how do you educate those taxi drivers who knock off tourist? adding lots of extra charges
-
Whenever I take any taxi, I will usually ask for a printed receipt.
And I encourage pple to do that too.
To make it a habit.
And for tourists who arrive here in spore, they should be informed that they must have a printed receipt when taking any taxi in spore.

You could start a new thread to educate taxi drivers.....but those taxi drivers you wished to educate probably doesnt even know how to login internet????What you can do is to file for a complaint for overcharge, if they are guilty, they will lose their taxi license. And thanks for getting rid of one more black sheep for us!
