  Many maxicabbies are OMO. Some prefer to have a relief. Mine is old model vito. Rent is $102.72.

  IC, so 12 hours relief can expect rental to be slightly above 50. 

  What about fuel consumption for your MaxiCab? Roughly how much per 100 km?

  How many km you travelled a day?

  Is new maxi cause can recognize by plate number. The digital roof is the same type as black chrysler. Maybe the driver self install, but I don't think Comfort allow that, anyway it might be on trial. I saw this maxi at Sin Ming.

  The new Maxi (Viano) cab

  starts from SHD 8801x

  so, is the number plate similar to this series ?

  Of course, 66xx belong to Comfort, 3 digit belong to citycab, 88xx is the new batch, belong to ComfortDelgro Group. I know a bit. That one I saw start with 88.

  Then it could be the new badge of Maxicab (supposed to replace the older Maxicabs reaching their lifespan).

  SHD8801 is the newer number plate series.

  The may have changed the head sign to digital ones....

  They should have done that long ago, actually my first intention is to get maxi cab, mainly because of their low rental, even lower than my sonata. But thinking of street hired, I give up the idea.

  I think they only implemented it on the new vehicles only.

  My vito mileage was around 8.6 - 9.6 km / l

  Full tank can go around 670 - 770 km before refilling.

  I refill once every 3 days.

  Seldom see a MaxiCab sweeping and queueing at taxi stand. Are they not allow to do that?

  Just look at the taxi signage on top of the current Maxicab.....

  

  so small and tiny.... 

  whether there is a pax or not... you can't even see... .

  As the older Maxi cab's doors aren't auto-sliding, some passengers may have the difficult opening it.

  You haven't see mine... WITHOUT the taxi signage.... Black in colour.  (same model, 24cm longer, day lights - same as Audi cars).  

  Those Viano Maxicab doesn't have the day lights options.

  Bro ahRichard,

  did you go CDG to enquire about the new Maxicab ? 

  better option than paying $150k for a Pte Viano now.

  One policy in SMRT I am not too happy about....

  If you want to resign and get back your security deposit, you need to submit a letter and request for a refund of the deposit, which will take 6 fucking long months - before they will either send you a cheque or deposit into your account.

  Why need 6 months ?  No other market players take that long....is it a penalty the ex-drivers got to pay if they leaves SMRT for other companies ? 

  I drove their Mercedes limousine cab for 3 months only, before Transcab got a newer Mercedes for me, at the same rental.  I got my security deposit refunded after 6 months.
