Ever escalating Taxi rentals
-
CDG has increased the rental of their Maxi cab fleet to a whopping $153!
That is almost 50% increase of the current rental. Do not expect cheap cabs from Bloodsucker Of The Year aka Taxi Co Of The year.
They are going to price their Merc fleet at $155 and the camrys at a minimum of $123.
Even the shitty SMRT epica is at $115.
With diesel costs so high and these assholes not imposing a fuel surcharge to help defray the costs, TDs will be in big trouble. Work more for basically the same or lesser income.
The 5 years after the GE confirm is going to look extremely bleak for TDs.

so just drive lor ..... whichever give the most realistic amount if benefit to drive for them .

Checking - When you say taxi rental, is that a daily rental rate or monthly rental rate?

Wtf.
That means you need to make at least $4,000 to break even? ie. zero profits.
And that excludes petrol and other miscellaneous costs?
-
So assuming every taxi trip is around $10. That means you need to make 15 trips just to break even.
Damn.
-
singapore is everything goes up except your earnings.... as long as in singapore, slog till you die...

I read in other forums, people boasting TD can easily make more than $5,000 a month.
I am assuming they mean Nett profit after deducting from rental costs and such.
I was like O RLY ?
So the only people who make money are the taxi companies.

There is a thread in sgforums.......
the TS said that his company has FT Taxi drivers....
But some forumites suggested that these ppl are most probably hired on fixed term basis employment - whatever that means. -

I am afraid to say some TDs have shit for brains.
Taxi driving is a low barrier to entry trade, with just a class 3 license and a pink IC , anyone can be a TD . When u go around boasting that u make $5k , who is going to suffer? Taxi Cos raise rentals , uh oh ho seh liao , kena farked in the ass hard.
Very good example are the chrysler drivers , went around telling people that they make wad? 6k? 7k? How true we dunno but truth is SMRT hiked their rentals to $160 per day. Smart? i Would call it very stupid.
And now its the Maxi cab's drivers turn and then slowly it will filter down to the Mercs and then the normal cabs. And for maxi cabs now , the condition is that the deposit is raised to 2k + 2 years contract. Shooting one's own foot?
TD's earnings are very subjective , one can make 3k , another can only make $1.5k ( example would be me).
I always say and will say , keep a low profile is the best.
