so today is the first time i took taxi since 1 year ago during my ns. because my car went for servicing , so took a cab after work and got into a prime toyota wish taxi. young TD , friendly. So i told him my destination and he is a safe driver , driving at exactly 90km/h , and brought me safely home , so suddenly his phone rang , and he use his ear piece to talk on the phone which i think is another td , and he was saying in hokkien , "today business quite okay liao , enough for me , going home early to see my son after sending this pax as my son is sick." i jsut kept quiet all the way and when reach my destination , the fee was exactly $10 , but i gave him $11 , he was very appreciative and say thank you to me. and i said to him back , thanks for bringing me home. I know business is bad due to the bad weather. Hmm i feel quite happy that i actually give $1 more to the TD , i dunno why also. haha , but i know $1 is not really a lot , but i hope it helps a little. After a tiring day at work , this incident really cheer my day up. Thanks for viewing my thread. just wanna share. =))

hehe yeah , although its only a $1 but i hope it cheer up his day too! but i can see he quite happy , he keep smile and say thank you to me. =)
Good to hear that.
Sometimes we refuse to take that 20 or 40 cents, but these pax insist to pay us. We appreciated v much to this type of pax, and smiled for being done a good deed that day.
token may be small but meaningful.

hehe yup , very happy to hear that there are many ppl who do this , because i also do business , so i know its tough , anyway i am only a veggie seller , and those aunties always like to ask for discount , so i politely told them , we sell veggie dosent earn a lot , but i will still give u discount of $0.20 , like the veggie is $8.20 , i will give her discount of $8 , and those ppl who dun understand will not be happy that i give them such a small discount , but there are ppl who still insist to pay that $0.20 , although i said its okay , but they say they do business b4 also , and its tough , really appreciate those understanding ppl. =))

yeah all the way! next time if i got chance to take cab , i will give more tips to TD , hehe
Bro Resentment,very nice gesture of you.Cabbies on the road are just people who trying to make a honest living in exchange with their time & sweats.For me,if there is tipping on top of the taxi fare;its a bonus.If no tipping,also doesn"t matter;just paid me what display on the taxi meter.My job is to ensure you have a pleasant and safety ride to your destination.Cheers!
