Coming soon .
1000 on the road very soon .
Rental $99 excluding GST .
Also come with drivers benefits .
Different to CNG cabs by Smart , Prime .
Non 5 years contract .
terms & condition same like any other TransCab crown .
A replacement for their aging fleet .
I am comtemplating now ...
CNG cost low .
In fact , i have decided to go solo if i sign up for one .
The only problem i dislike , it's the colour , All Chilli Red taxi .
saw one at sengkang today. i was surprised that even transcab had a toyota wish taxi
poolman, what's your rental now?

$101.60 including GST
Sorry is $93 excluding GST , $99.51 incuding GST .
TransCab will give $260 / mthly to OMO
$190 if got relief . $70 to relief drivers .
NCB same la , not too sure how much , sure get , i guessed $200 market rate .
Not too sure if need contract , i think got la .... 1 year maximum .
CNG .
CNG still good , i heard $10 for 250km ,
$20 for 500km .
I am switching to CNG cos i don't see diesel prices to go down , and worst , diesel will go up if crude oil goes up .
It's unthinkable if crude goes up USD200 per barrel .
In long run , as in per year basis , i am going to save myself plenty of saving just on CNG .
If one day i cover 300km .... my CNG cost is $15 maximum .
313 days x $15 , i only spent $4695 on CNG .
If diesel , 300km x $1.14 ( after rebate ) = $34.20 per day
$34.20 x 313 =$10,704 on diesels
So it's CNG !!! Save me $6009 per year .
Correct my calculation if i'm wrong .
Transcab promised their drivers , they will set-up 3 refilling centre , besides the current & planned centres , at Jurong Island , Mandai Estate , Jalan Buroh , and Serangoon North Ave 5 .
So Singapore will get 3 centres in the west , 1 in the central , and i heard , Bedok or Changi will get one for the east .
I think Defu lane , their HQ , will be one of the refilling centre .
If this is what the planning , it will be ideal for us .
Except the central singapore , nearest it's Jalan Buroh .

they really got no choice .... cos they can't afford to let their current drivers quit for Sonata or Silver Magentis .
Automatic taxis very demanding .
They cannot indent Sonata or Magentis , cos it's an exclusive deal for Comfort and Premier Taxis .
They are under tremendous pressure if they want to survive in this industries .
i going to see a fortune teller , to see i fit into a Red colour working tool .
Not every chinese can fit red colour , ya la a bit superstitious .
But i have to believe .
To aviod misfortune .
Red is a dangerous colour .
i think wish would make a good taxi. taiwan and thailand use them for dunno how long alr...
So far , the regos of the vehicles : SHD106 , SHD140M , SHD109E

Originally posted by ALN:i am not sure about CNG milege.. last time i calculated it is 50% of petrol price… so probably 60% of diesel price… but you have more down time to travel and q at CNG pump… definitely good for OMO scheme cos they have more time…
i just saw one red wish at houg…looks ok lah…
Trancab got 4 rental free days for wish?
also, CNG must still use a bit a petrol cos they must warm up with petrol for a short while before switching to CNG
hey pool, u know any CNG cab hirer? how they calculate CNG payment with relief? meaning, can relief dont fill up and just pay based on distance travelled?
Wa .... too chim liao la ..... i never tot of tat leh bro .
Base on mileage la i tink ...
Like $12 for 250km lor ...

knn better not , their diesel not EuroV , not healthy for our engine .
if we take Transcab can got fuck-up by those monopoly , then we only need to tahan 1 year , then see what option we have .
At the end of the day ... i actually lose nothing much , only those taxi company who paid $60,000 over a new taxi , pay for it . Coz they have got no taker .
Like Premier Skoda now .... no taker , i Skoda $50,000 , imagine 10 taxis lying there .
