Flag down is RM3 for old taxi and RM6 for new taxi. All old ones are the world famous Proton Saga manual (not sure what brand is the new model) and run on CNG and RM20 can get you 400 km. One driver claimed he can net RM 200 to 300 per day. Don’t know real or not. If you don’t convert to SGD. ALN can OMO here lagi better.
Thinking of going full time taxi. Next month will be 1yr on the road liao for me. Presently only driving Sat n Sun.
How would you calculate the $$$ aspect of being a full time taxi driver as compared to working in a corporate world?
(annual income + bonuses)/365 days / 12hrs to be the target hourly net rate for taxi driving?
Only thing that loses out is the medical Leave (MC), 21days annual leave, etc....
Any advises?

Bros, Since you already got experiences, not much of a problem, but then weekdays can be very much different from Sat n Sun, you need to know the CBD area and the paxs are more in a rush type executives than those relax sunday n sat shopping and outing paxs.
Of course, there are pros and cons btw working and TD, you hv to weight the balance, but the most important thing is do what your heart tell you, if your really loves and enjoy TD, go for it, no use going on working just because of MC and annual leaves if your heart said you prefer TD more.
part time more shiok leh... like ALN...![]()
more time to come here chat... or sms disturb pple...![]()

Yeah they still have that $0.50 fuel surcharge , and commuters still taking them .
Only downside , their fleet aging .... diesel engine tear and wear , no good from the 3rd year .
Also now they practise $0 benefit , all reduce from rental .
Their Kia currently still around $10x ..... considering their age , a bit too high .
But they have some "price plans" like complete 2 years contract , a reward of like $800 cash ?
At least something .
Me ?
I never bother what others are offering ... I still felt others has got no match for TransCab Wish .
Me 10th every month , see $656 inside my bank .
12 months $7872 .
Money still lying there .... year end can go Japan , bring family go .
Not that Uncle Poolman me paid $150 for rental .
My rental $104 per day , my relief got $35 for my taxi from 6am to 3pm , he handover 3pm to me .
Me 3pm to 12MN , 9 hours work .... senang senang ..... relax one corner after 12MN .
KNN where to find ?
Saturday and Sunday people work hard .. very hard .
I just need to cover rental , and go play mahjong .
Month end $656 still inside my bank .
Won't run away .
It will run away if i am a bad pay master , but i am not ! I am very good at paying rental .
And enjoy the fruits on 10th .

CNG troublesome .... ?
Dunno the rest .... never an issue to me .
Many told me troublesome this troublesome that , maybe they do not have that benefit , that's why became troublesome .
Priority to me it's i am driving a Japanese car .
Then it never give me problem i can thank god liao .....
Also it's the driving Comfort of a Japanese car .
It's the quietness of the Japanese machine .
Only downside , maintenance wise , we must teach those Ah Tiong how to get the things done .
Since i drove almost say 2 years ago a CNG cab ?
TransCab never call me in the morning , asking me : " Mr Lee , people complaint you ."
During Comfort days , so common Comfort can call you in the morning and question you , very rude to wake me disrupting my sleep .
In TransCab , if paxes guai lan , it's got we fucked people , never got fucked one . And go scott free .
In Comfort , u try fucking up paxes ! U'll get red card the next day .
In TransCab , when we need their call , we can call CSA : " Miss , me at Tuas , can throw me a job to town ?"
" Uncle , u wait ok ?"
"Ting ! U got a job !"
knnbccb to Orchard ????? Steam liao leh ... From Tuas .
Yes they do that !
In Comfort , u wait long long .....they give you a job go Woodlands more likely .
When it matters most , it does matters most .
Things is .... Transcab never bother to disturb you .
Am i happy with Transcab ? ok lar ... make money nia ma .....
Premier Silvercab i heard it's the next most reasonable taxi coy .
They listen , they work for hirers , as well as combining a successful partnership with hirers .
They know their role of servicing their clients , taxi drivers are their clients .
That's what it matters most , isn't it ?
Comfort ? Nay ..... Phui .
The worst part of Comfort & SMRT were ..... they are public listed companies .
So these 2 giants , their priorities are investor .
Or so called their shareholders .
And due to that , taxi drivers tends to end up as victims to their ambitions .
TransCab , Premier , Prime and Smart are not Ptd Ltd , or Holdings .
Prime is not for someone new the the taxi trade .... cos their vehicle will tie u down with 5 years contract .
Once ur leg inside , cannot pull out .
Can pull out , but at a heavy cost .
Because u already made a $5000 security deposit with them , once break contract , that $5000 gone .
No need to compare and consider so much wasting time . Drive taxi must drive a Comfort/ CityCab taxi . Cos a normal Comfort driver earns at least 15% - 20% everyday more than others, unless u join a radio call group . Its very true because of the On-Call whole island wide .
