Passenger vomit in Taxi, what do i do?
-
Hi i am a new taxi driver doing the graveyard shift.
Just Q&A the forummers and experienced taxi drivers what is a fair resolution to both passengers and taxi drivers, if the passenger vomited in the taxi?
Do i need to inform cab company, LTA, NEA and MOH with the passenger's contact with regards to the impending H7N9 avian flu.
Where and how much do i go to sanitize the cab, should i ask for downtime compensation as well. If passenger is doubtful about the amount, can i ask the passenger to go with me for the cleanup and leave the meter running...
Whats the solutions, please advise?

When you drive taixs, just like all jobs, you must know the hazards of Taxi driving, and especially driving a grave yard shift, more hazard will be there.
If you are scare of illness and those H1 N1 or H2 N9 kind of diesease spreading, then, no offend, please give up taxi driving.
When u drive night, Plastic bags must be there, you must ask pax, are you ok, do you feel like vomitting, can I stop somewhere for you, please take a plastic bag from the back when you want to vomit, I charge 0.50cents for one plastic bag use, if you need mineral water, I charge 1.20 per bottle, cheaper than 7/11. Are you OK sir?
Vomit charge $70, last time $50, now inflation, price goes up.

sometime you get nothing also -
4 chinese PRC gals, Akyab Road, 1 infront give half balls, one at the back start talking into my ear, one vomitted, once i smell vomitting, stop, come out, pay or dun pay or call police...why, give half ball only everything can ar?? my buddy hammer ball bigger than her lols.
They scold in chinese, me handphone call liao..then quickly throw a $50, clean up with their tissue and I drive them to their destination, way out, I look, a bit vomit only, just use my mineral water wash can liao/...
When you drive nite, you hv to be a nite warrior, but first of all, you must be fit, if pui pui, sleepy sleepy, here pain, there pain type, better dun mess with those people

i guess i am slightly better also 4 prc pick from CQ to yishun blk 1xx just few hundred meter away to drop off, one vomitted ask for $200 , final settle at $100 plus $20 plus meter fare but no further sending them then turn to a corner shell station, pay $20 and all done within 30min

Then bo jio me for kopi? wha lau, mine $50 only, somemore have to clean myself abit, but I know a little bit only, cos my this hirer cab rubber mat is those folded up at all corner one, just take the mat and wash can liao.
However, I hv to say, there are many responsible drinker, most do not feel like vomit or think that they will not vomit until after boarding taxis, sat down, go around a few turn, their face changed, those responsible one that I met a few will tab my shoulder and say, want to vomit, I will stop and let them vomit...coming from a drinker myself, I know that to vomit out is the best, worst is, like want to vomit but cannot, very cham.
Then after they vomitted, immediately i serve them one bottle of my cheap mineral water for $1.20, unfortunately, unlike VW chill compartment, if not give them another chilled beer

Prevention is better than cure !
-
Prevention is like a fish net, some fishes will still slip thru...not that I pick up pax vomitting because of drinking, but also sick people, childrens who cannot take long distance, like me, when young, take long distance bus only, vomit liao.
When I sailing for first 6 months, keep vomitting, wha lau, sea sick until my captain also sick of me.
-
prevention is good but my case, the pax can avoid paying the $100, because when i realise one of them going to vomit, i stop immediately and advise the pax to step out and vomit he refuse and say since it is only 200m away he can hold, i say ok and remind them that if vomit inside my taxi, my compensation is $200 in the end when i started moving off again, just less than 50m he merlion liao so not my fault, same reason as post by TS, they feel already very ex to $100 , and some more still must pay the meter fare, my only words follow me and see the process of having the taxi clean up and will justify the amount Lan Lan pay and get off loaded at the spot

i only ask for $10 fr prc paxs,one vomit out of window,but dirty all the side of door,still they complain too much!the last time anothef case i ask only $5!

Solution ?
Dun go Geylang , CQ Boat Quay , Neil Road , Duxton such areas to pick your pax .
Or Fullerton Bay Hotel area , fucking alot of drunk people . Among the hotels .

If u happened to read most messages here ...
Most drivers that meet with such troubles , run fare , kena whack , kena abuse , kena vomit ..... were those paxes whom they picked from such places , Geylang , Joo chiat , BQ , CQ , Duxton etc .....
Since such places got so high risk of contacting such paxes , why go ?
-
Me ? A few year ago , Ah Neh vomitted inside my cab ...... sent him to Sembawang Shipyard .........
Draw $50 from ATM and pay me , he ask draw how much ?

End day i just throw away my car mat ...... bought a new one for my hirer .

my previous night shift driver do this,
got a pax or paxs (with or without friends) smell of alcohol. tell him the house rules.if pax still alert, u are still ok. if pax is already bad shape, i think u do not even know where he wants to go..not to mention how to collect payments later
offer him a plastic bag or tell him where to get them if they are not feeling well as not all cabs got pockets at the back seat
throw up and dirty cab, market price is usually $50 which some petrol kiosk charge about $30 for cleaning as well as $20 for the lost time when cleaning in progress
