Originally posted by Insg:Check the tyres they used. If I am not wrong, it could be China made. The last time I search the net, I found that the particular brand I mentioned was made by one company that supplied tyres for the US market and have many court cases against them for causing accidents.
Recently I heard there were a few cases where Wish cab hit the railings when turning into PIE from Airport, also under wet road condition.
Even "Good Year" tyres got this problem when making a bend especially when you go over the white painting on road surface.
yah tyres r in the top 3 most impt tins to me on a vehicle.
tats y on my bike i dun skimp 1 i rather spend $400++ on
2 tyres to make myself safer
That post was extracted fm ST forum yesterday..
I really think a customer rating system via mobile number would help. Much fairer to TDs also, let them choose good customers instead of the no show ones. If caller no show, his/her customer rating goes down so next time when he/she book again, harder to get cab. That will make people think twice about booking and not showing up.

It cant be help, even you shoot the complaint to the authorities, it is still the same thing. Once again, come out early or wait patiently for cab.

mobile number no use one. some people change phone number like changing underwear.
they should just deduct $3.50 when they made the call by using 1900 number. if the call is cancelled thru the proper channel, then an admin charge of $1 will be levied by refunding only $2.50 to the pax. the $1 can be used to defray cost to both the TD & company for cancelled call.
maybe this will reduce the number of duplicate bookings.

knn bro u start to idle liao....... :P
For me I will only take call that is 1-2mins within my reach,3mins the most
those taxi stands & main road I reject without thinking
unless in war zones where u reach there 15mins pax still lan lan waiting for you type then i will accept
For me, usually those private houses, i will go, and like most, taxi stand or main road type, can ask them to go fly kite. Condos is unless very near and I know where is it. Private house is because the pax is still in the house, they can wait, you come, they just move out, and also there isn't much other taxi around for them jump the call.
Taxi stand and main road is almost as good as playing with you, Condos is better, but condo also got pax potong jalan call when they see another taxi ferrying other pax coming into their lobbies.
If I take on call, I do not mind being informed of call cancelled, what i hate most is those no shows and yet call them, no answer or off phone, CCB one. But that is part of a Taxi Driving work hazard. Have to take it

Ya that sounds fair and it doesn't hurt the customer too. In the long run, people who make bookings regularly will also benefit from shorter waiting time.
I siam from street pax. I go ling kopi coz raining make my taxi dirty. Plus the jammed roads. 2 painkillers cannot make my headache go away. Sorry I rather go for quality of life . You think only doctor got good life. Taxi drivers want also. Not even the Singapore gahment can help TDs. If you cannot tahan DOC ,go get yrself a driver . End story.
