Uncle, several location, ok?
-
First of all, i'm not here to complain about this trip, i'm ok with it actually. Although i know most old birds don't like this tye of trip cos can earn more hourly on Sat night.
As newbie i willing try every situation, part and parcel of the learning experience.
Just want some advise if encounter again.
Saturday around 10+pm picked up two pax along Bukit Batok East Ave 3:
Pax: Uncle, several location, ok?
Me: Ok lah, where u want to go?
Pax: Go Boon Lay market first.
So drive to Boon Lay, go in market carpark. Pax ask me wait awhile, pax girlfriend stayed in car. Meter still running. I ask the girl can wait outside, i need to go pee. She ok. She go out buy some stuff, i go pee.
Come back sit in car, then guy come back, girl also come back in.
Me: Where to next?
Pax: Yishun Ring Road.
Driving towards Corporation Rd, suddenly pax said no need go Yishun, go back to Bukit Batok where i picked them up. So go up PIE, pax ask to exit by Bukit Batok Rd.
Reach Bukit Batok East Ave 3.
Me: You want drop at the bus stop io pick u up ah?
Pax: No go into the carpark.
So drive into the carpark, pax tell me left right left right. Then suddenly say different block. So went to that block. Pax alight ask me wait again with gf inside. Wait with meter running.
Pax return after 5min.
Me: Going where now?
Pax: Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 MacDonalds.
So go PIE Lornie, reach Mac Ave 4 pax alight, this time girl say she also want alight for smoke, i say ok i also want to smoke. So all 3 of us smoking outside, meter still running, the guy don't know wait for what. Finish my stick i sit back inside, then guy went across the road, then come back.
Me: Now where?
Pax: Geylang Lor 16.
So drive there, i thought last destination, as usual guy went out for 5-10min, then come back.
Me: Next?
Pax: Last place, Lavender Food Court.
Pax alight 1150pm, so nearly 2hrs total fare nearly 60 points.
I know can make more within CBD in that 2 hrs, but my question is, can i reject the pax halfway, let's say at AMK i say i can't go any further, etc.. and still collect fare?

if you agree to pax request then is very to reject half way. you should have ask the number of stop and waiting time share with you yesterday when i pick up a family at traders hotel thy wanted to go ford ave to drop the wife and than follow by back to orchard so i agree. half way to ford ave, they added one more stop jurong country club then again they add one more to bukit timah plaza. looking at the place they go i knew it is going to be more than an hour with est $30 point so i told them that such service would require disposal service min 2 hr, $35 an hr and they agree though the wife mentioned other taxi driver just add current booking charge i show them my company paper and the rate and will stop where we are to drop them off since service require was not as say when they board they agree and accept without choice( cause i will drop them off at place where there will be no taxi)
-
to drop pax half way make sure you find a good reason and not get yourself drinking coffee at LTA, try to have a nice talk like since you are still new throwing a pax out require skill yesterday at little india(heavy rain) 2 indian lady wanted to go tg rhu( i was changing shift to punggol with the LED sign indicated) i did not want to take them but they ask tolong so i took them, bastard just board and move off they want me to stop kallang to pick their daughter and i so tulan and say no they say just nearby but i just refuse, prepare to throw them out but they want me to drop them at musafa taxi stand so i tell them i will still charge them (already stop at one side) they lan lan accept so drop off collect money and move on to pick other many case you will come across but need to apply the right tactic

Yesterday learn a lot of things, also yesterday carry one skinny dead drunk ah lian. Cos the other 2 girl with her also drunk, all 3 fall down when reach destination. One broke tooth because of fall, birthday girl somemore.. Normlly won't help such case, scared cry molest. But they made me laugh throughout the trip and also none vomit in my cab
Also found out i not as fit as before, carry the girl into lift and out lift breathless liao.. LoL
Also found pax to bring me back to Bukit Batok from Pasir Ris if i'm ever at east side 6am Sunday morning

LoL.. At AMK when come out for smoke, the girl got say, "Wa today u like .."
Before she complete the sentence i say, "Like personal driver" LoL
Also at AMK was thinking the same, if drop them off here, i take CTE go to town maybe can make more.. But think think, aiyah just continue, must encounter this type of things at least once, then can gain experience..

share with you yesterday when i pick up a family at traders hotel
thy wanted to go ford ave to drop the wife and than follow by back to orchard so i agree.
half way to ford ave, they added one more stop jurong country club
then again they add one more to bukit timah plaza.
looking at the place they go i knew it is going to be more than an hour with est $30 point
so i told them that such service would require disposal service min 2 hr, $35 an hr and
they agree though the wife mentioned other taxi driver just add current booking charge
i show them my company paper and the rate and will stop where we are to drop them off
since service require was not as say when they board
they agree and accept without choice( cause i will drop them off at place where there will be no taxi)
My mistake was never ask them how many location total.
End trip i was thinking if disposal service $35/hr min 2 hr, would have a least made $10 more

sounds like they are party drugs courier

this type i encounter few times liao

Suspected that also, but don't want to jump to conclusion, maybe selling Hello Kitty toys, LoL..
When just pick them up both were calculating how much they would make after Taxi fare.
Towards final destination they were counting money, sounded like a lot. Min $500+ in hand cos i overheard, deposit $500, rest dunno do what.
Must be some high end "Hello Kitty"
Anyways TDVL course only teach us what to do if encounter "terrorist", never teach us what to do if encounter drug runners, etc...

When they say several location i tot max 3 at first cos only got 2 pax, then moving off keep hearing M hotel so thought pick up someone then go M hotel. Then hear V Hotel, W Hotel..
End up no hotel and so many location, but for experience sake ok lah.
But for me my Sat drive ok lah, not to cover rental, just minus fuel rest all profit.. Cos my Mon-Fri takings include Sat and Sun rental.. So even Sun drive 1-2hrs, ferry service for heartland shopping mall also ok..

I had this thought in my mind for a while.
Would it be better if we switch to a time based taxi fare system rather than distance based?
Will it help taxi drivers and commuters?
-
Wahhh for me i take siak...i wont complain also if fare is 60 for 2 hrs...cos mine always been abt 30 per hour so ok lah..but if got white powder arrr then i siam with cock story...dont want to get in trouble and kena tahan for 24hrs

Why cannot do....no pressure, got smoking break in between.
60 bucks for 2 hours in the last few days on Dec, why cannot. Knn 3 days ago on Thurs nite 1 epica in front of me, stopped, yes stooped, not slow down in the 2nd lane, wait for a bus to go, then go left most lane just to pick up 1 pax hailing a cab. So desperate for pax. Here you got confirm trip to cover rental why cannot.
Ask for illegal activities, pls lah some of you your imagination run wild. Pax do legal or iilegal business as long you never involved why worry. You think this Singapore or North Korea....Police or CNB anyhow catch.
If say really they do drugs and stopped, the first thing is screen you, no drug record, 2nd, no contact number or exchange of calls between you and the couriers. 3rd just 1 phone call to your company can clarify your previous trips and show you were genuinely picking up a fare.
Say really sway, as happened 1 time before CNB tail a major trafficker, who happened to use a cab to do his delivery. So cab stopped brought to nearby carpark, driver questioned and released after 15 to 20 mins, not 24 hours. Plus if I the driver sure ask the CNB to collect my fare [meter running] for the wait.
Why scared. Never do wrong scared for what. Trouble, this one not trouble lah, we TD trouble is violent pax, drunkard fare evaders. This 1 is paid job.

Same thought for me. Why think so much, go CBD confirm can get pax meh? Got ppl pay for your meter to run, why not? And 10+, already got peak hour, already a bonus. Agree, never do anything wrong, why worry?
