  Paxs go all over singapore, it all depend on the time, the day and the shift you driving.

  3 problems newbies usually face: a. dont know where to find pax - cant be helped, personal learning process every new cabby has to go thru, just start with where you remember you used to wait for taxi, then let the next new pax guide you along b. not sure route - just be friendly and listen to pax, usually they know enough to get you there, at least by their way until you learn your own..otherwise standby an updated street directory c. kanna bully by old birds - bo pian, another learning process, be patient and observe..then let them taste their own medicine hahahah

  Not sure route nevermind. Ask the pax which is his/her prefer route. If pax also dunno how to go then HOR SEH LIAO. Can bring him/her go measure the road if he kpkb you also kpkb back because he/she also dunno they way mah.

  Not sure how to find pax? Night shift simple lah. Go MBS casino sure for pax one. If at ulu ulu place then no choice chiong empty to town. That is what I do when I first started night shift part time driving. waste a little fuel ok lah. Last time I drive CDG diesel only $0.88 nia.

  Yes, very true, agreed, and that is why people want to become TD, relax, simple and easy going, if you want to keng, on the ball and put stress on yourself, then go back to the corporate world, or best, the army
