thought picking and stopping at cbd has been relaxed? as long as it does not fall into bus lane operation hours?
no need to just go to taxi stand?

poor TS, got all the bad incidents on his first few days.
either he has 'easy to bully' face or he's small sized? or look like those older uncle type with, limited road knowledge?
maybe TS can fill us in
Yes...I am small size and some passengers commented that I look too nice and too polite to be a cabby :( but it help with the tips...I think I got the can makan face and my road knowledge is very limited. I don't even know how to get the Geylang?!??! I rarely go out when I am not a cabby.
Road sweeping this couple of days, I learn quite a number of new road and routes..I am still afraid to take call. I have yet to take any calls. I am worried that I might not make it to the pickup point in time.
Most passengers are ok and most are respectful. Just that my 1st day really bump into all the NONO pax.
Pior to being a cabby, I have always thought it was a easy job but alas...I cannot help but emphasis that newbie should NEVER start out OMO now.
I spend some time at petrol kiosk talking to laojiao...learn some trick from them.
Today, coming out of Fullerton Hotel, I did not lock my door..as I am going to exit from Fullerton Sq...group of indian tourist just jumped into my cab. LTA enforcement officer were there and took a couple of pics :( I also don't know why..Fullerton Sq is not on the list of no pickup road.

Oei..... I OMO for almost 4 months liao leh...... Still alive leh.......
But I choose to learn it the hard way..... Sign on Silver...... Virtually no calls one..... just sweep.....
4 months on.... I am more or less OK, income consistent..... pple say OBK day, but my income still maintain the same........
Today is OBK day, I started at 6pm, lots of taxis but no pax in the evening, then I remembered someone told me, now end of the month.... So quickly change strategy, hunt for tourist instead.... go tourist spot, town, airport, casino..... end up, in 8 hours, hit target, keep car...... Called Ahlim around 11pm, he already at home watching youtube videos.....knn, sibeh slack......
TS, I also quite polite to pax, but when meet with nasty or bad pax, u have to show them who's boss.....
My trick is ask pax location and direction at the start of journey, tell them sorry, I am not sure of the location, if you know the way, please guide me, if not can I use GPS? So far pax can understand and are ok....
You have to try and relax and enjoy the driving. If you everyday before even walk to the car feel stress and worried, you will end up having a bad day.

no need to just go to taxi stand?
Knowing about bus lanes timing add burden to the already burden shoulder .So just dun care , charge into taxi stand , safest , no stress , just sweep .

Taxi drivers cannot be too nice one , believe me .
Customers dun deserve it , cos taxi fare too low to deserve red carpet treatments . Singapore taxi fare just good enough to sent them home , nothing more . Sent them home safe is bonus for them .
U looking for trouble once u too nice .

If you are not cut out to be a TD, relief or OMO make no different........
Most people come into this trade because they think is good money, my balls to you OK!!.......
They only will realised after holding that farking steering........
Reading at TS boring and non exciting experience, even you are a relief, result will still be the same........
Those forumers who keep talking about relief or OMO because they had conceived to taxi driving liao.........
If you just worry about your appearance, no sense of direction on route.....etc, what make you think that relief is better?........

When you become cabby..did you notice those peoples who used to exchange pleasantries with you stopped doing so??

fifufu, you ask questions like that, no wonder always kena whack lah...Do what you need to feed your family. All other things are secondary. Why bother what other people think? If they dun greet you first, greet them lor...If they dun return your greeting, so be it. Life goes on...拿得起,放得下,看开一点就没事了. :)

TD is not a job that you need to have a cut of it to be, it is a job of not much choice in the open market that one become a TD, a job that demand In first, Talk later concept.What make one a TD is alway base on one history of his or her personal career, very unlikely you will find a cabby with taxi driving as his only job since 30yo, it is alway from different background of life that takes one to walk the road of becoming a TD.
Nobody is cut to be a TD, most are make or conditoned by the social, political and economy aspects to be one.
For me, TS is simply immature to anything, not only taxi driving

No leh ..... i've got more friends than before i drove a cab . Good quality friends .While working for someone else , those friends cannot make it one , inferior quality , cmi one ..... follow that working path , for me , it's a dark zone .
I got more respect from people after i drove a cab .
I am a better person after i drove a cab .
I am slightly richer driving a cab than working for someone else .
I never had bills problems driving a cab , i had tonnes of them before i drove a cab .
And that is important ........ i know many in Sgp have got tonnes of bills need to wait for pay day to pay , we need that meh ?
My knowledge is richer after i drove a cab , i am open to more opportunities than i have before i drove a cab .
That sort of knowledge and if got opprtunities , no money can buy one .
