Those who drive taxi, everyday is not a rosy day, imagine if you hold a diploma or degree or master and drive taxi and passenger make the remark "C" above, you sure bey tahan.

D) Uncle, dun speed hor, my life more precious than your. - why didn't you wear a helmet to mean it
E) Uncle, why you take long cut, you want to charge extra is it? - Uncle taxi driver, not road measurement officer (in chinese, these are job seeker), don't know the length of the road
F) Uncle, you forget my 10 cents change, 10 also want to cheat me, how can. - for that, i give you 10 cents more to buy...... ???????

then slow down when approaching any traffic light to wait for amber or red light to appear. try to stop as much as possible, see next time they want to take this kind of steam routes or not.
I am wondering how TD can tolerate if the pax shouted, KNNCCB, FUCB.

this is where the unfairness comes in. the ccb lta can give demerit points & fines or even revoke the TDVL to TD when TD abuses pax regardless of who started the fight first. but if it's the pax who abuse the TD, we dun have any channel to seek redress. so TD have to protect themselves.
even when pax dun pay the fare (or dun pay the full amount), police can only "advise" the pax only, no action will be taken even after a report was lodged at the police post.
i reported an incident at a police post sometime back, the police officer in fact "advise" me not to lodge the report. at last he reluctantly key in the statement i gave him & said it's for record only (meaning no action will be taken). i lost $5 in this incident.

if like this if a pax were to punch a TD, allow him to get punched meh? strike back.
if pax were to shout vulgarities but pay the fare, so you tolerate him for the sake of fare?
Not sure if Singapore got a law for abusive language.
learn to accept or ignore all this remarks
more to come if you drive, though sometime must squeeze ball
take it to heart only upset you and spoil your day and mood
i sometime make thing turn around and let them understand it's not a job anyone can do, ask your PM to be a taxi driver, can he? ask any CEO to be a taxi driver. let them know, without TD how are this pax going to do? so they will be lost.
when they say we go hiding , i tell them story why it is so and make them accept it is a fact why some time no taxi or taxi not stopping.
G) Driver, my Iphone GPS show me must take this road and this road and this road to reach the destination, why you take that road to waste my time and escalate my fare?
H) You taxi driver do not know the place, expect me to know? How you passed your TVL?
I) You are suppose to help me to carry my lagguage up your taxi and unload for me, why are you so lazy, unhelpful, no responsibility. Not happy to be taxi driver than change job and stop tarnishing the image of other taxi driver, I am sick of your attitude, go fly kite.
if passenger said this to your face, you farking piece of shit TD, you remain cool?

wah u sure or not can lun? lim peh hear already hot liao, dunno can keep calm and cool. maybe I will argue back, said if not happy can complain, this is abuse, I will not take it.
you have to take note between complaint of service and abuse. you do not need to take abuse. so what is your company stand on abusing customers? let them be?

Are you expecting me to have a GPS brain?
H) You taxi driver do not know the place, expect me to know? How you passed your TVL?
TVL did cover many location, but not yours

Suppose = obligation = Responsibilites
Help is out of good will, and is like respect, you got to earn it, not demand it
Why didn't you even try asking if you do need help?

There is a limit to everything, we cabbies are mostly former ah bengs trying to build a living out of this society, if any fools want to revive our good ole days of hoot here and there, by all means, and when we get hot, no one can stop us. If you are a lawyer, doctor or any rich person, ask yourself, you life is more important and worthy or we, the TD. I do not mind fight until both dead.
no lar no need to turn violent unless they are violent themselves.
tell them, if not happy go complain to the company. for abusing language, dun waste time talking, just walk away and drive off and think of your next passenger, earn money better than quarrelling with these mindless goons.
its no big deal.
you try customer service.
many singaporeans are assholes who think they are god.
