Changing Shift Tampines
-
As a day driver, the part of the day that I dislike the most is when hv to interview..
Pax comes out of the q, thumbs up smiling. Gets in and "uncle, kaki bukit. then you can go home by bedok reservoir.." Since already out of q, inside cab, not nice to reject so me "wah thanks for planning my way home for me." They usually get the msg.
You enter the taxi stand, no taxi there, ho-say liao. But pax all facing wrong way, backs twds you. So most dunno where you going! How they plan the TS.
You points twd top led lights, pax confidently wanna board. Pull door handle cannot open and angrily "Why upper east coast on east side what, cannot ah??" Basic courtesy is to ask first right? Why would I wanna go upper east coast when there are many going to AP??
Some ask very nicely and also on the way, so I point to my watch and say not enough time. All this very time consuming and unproductive.

Worst are those foreigners, so happy at last got a cab but pull and pull door cannot open. You try and wind down windows and signal to ask them. But they blur, blur. Everybody watching, me also feel bad!
That's why I say must standardise all roof led lights. Now since all taxis must install. So in Sg, everybody incl foreigners, tourists will know the colour code.
Red - dun disturb cabby
Green - just flag and board.
Orange - must ask...no need what flashing "Change..Shift..Tampines". By the time pax see "Tampines", I already flashed past them.
-
I thought Mr L say changing shift must straight go back change shift?.........
-
Then you only can see "Orange" colour taxi on street..

To me that is the best time of the day, I start changing shift from 3am to 5am. Those who drive CDG is the best. The only thing I miss about CDG is the MDT changing shift system. Makes the world turn around me.

Yes, I start change shift early too, funny though, I can never seem to find the one pax to go back to my location until after 5am.
Instead have to make to with short working trips, back and forth during the intervening periods!

What's so good abt mdt changing shift system that is a world-turner for you??

It is alway a hide and seek game in the early wee hours, as a TD, if you are plying at such hours, you hv face those half drunk, half sleepy and tired pax, this are call hazards, every jobs have it hazard, and for TD, the customers is the pax, and one of the hazard is also the pax beside traffic, TP, stress, other vehicles on the road, cyclist, pedestrians...and so on
In reality, we then have to ask ourselves, what do we gain from all these hazards, interview and get F or reject or swear at..etc.., the ultimate gain you wanted is a trip back to home so as to change shift, earning one more extra and not empty cruise back. If that gain override all the hazards you have to face, it is then worthy of the chances you get snarled and conned, it is then a 50/50% game.
Once you get a nice lady back to your hometown, you feel good, once you get scolded and slammed at, you feel knnccb, and once you get a trip that said to go to your base, but half way, all drop off, is it still worthy of your interview and facing all these hazards? If yes, by all means.
These happen since the begining of TD trade in singapore, last time uncle will call out,...Cck 15 miles, ..cck 15 miles..till now, still interviewing
