Always ask : " So how u want me to go , left better for you , or right u prefer ? "
If they reply : " Any way , shorter , then we go by the standard route "
When they decided , if route stuck in a jam , at least we are well defended , it's their decision .
Ya...some will tell you, you taxi driver you should know.
Ya...some will tell ...i am local not tourist.
Ya...If they reply."any way, shorter, then we go by the standard route"
ha...so example....From sommerville estate road on Holland side on-call. destination hitachi tower in the morning peak hour. So after exit from the estate it is Holland Road.
So Poolman you millionair Taxi driver what you will do, which way?
Best option is to ask...I did.
Pax told.... as your like.
So see what is your proposal.
Me did the standard route. Kenna F88K. Why?
i love best if they told me : " U the taxi driver , u know best ."
Then there will be no dispute .
I will know if they are tourist ... i always talked to customer to ask . If they tourist , what for we asked ? Do u ask tourist which way to go ?
Sommervilla to Hitachi Tower , i always go by HollandRoad > Grange Road > Kim Seng Road > Havelock Road > Pickering Street > Raffles Quay .
I really dun think i ever kena fuck for this route .
This time i will not asked , i will say to him instead : " So i will go by Grange Road ? " Straight forward .... cos pax everyday go by that route , i don't see how i am special to go by some other route , got fuck upside down route .
I mean if u go by Orchard Road , right turn to Scotts road , of course kena fuck la .
Or if u go by Tanglin road , also kena fuck la .
Worst u by AYE , also surely kena fuck ....
If u go by the least jam , Grange Road , i really dun see why u kena fuck .

What wrong? kenna F88K on this.
i dun see how u kena fuck for this .
So it's always good to ask pax , which route ? I am not wrong to ask , to set a standard route , might invite controversy .
Originally posted by ALN:KCTK, if PIE exit Stevens still high chance stuck in jam on Sat 6pm…from balmoral to serangoon….
got once me from jur east to serangoon… foreign indian worker…. me PIE exit Stevens…. at the exit jam jam jam all the way to serangoon…. sian…. then the indian worker asked me, why not take expressway?.... haha
true la ... but nowsdays less jam , hang cheng pie ... but certainly jam near Deepavali
even if go by PIE , Thomson exit still a better option .... balestier , then Rangoon road , me definitely dun chose Up Serangoon , cos Race Course Road really near Bt Timah , too long too long route .

What happen...From Holland road>Napier>Grange>Irwell Bank>Kim Seng>Havelock>Upper Pickering> Church Street>Collyer Quay.
Morning peak Grange road jam...he told everyday, so you taxi driver must know.
What you shall do Taxi driver from Holland road> Napier> Tanglin road> Orchard road> Paterson road> Knn this is standard route as he told. Irwell Bank>Kim Seng>Havelock>Upper Pickering> Church Street>Collyer Quay.
Maybe KTCK could help this portion with his experience for day.
i really never meet one pax , staying at Sommerville park , instead of going by Grange Road , to go by Paterson Road , did he enjoy the right turn from Orchard Road to Paterson Road ????
Either he's an idiot or it's an isolated case ....
everyday he go work ... if by taxi , he'll face the difference of Grange Road and Paterson road ....
Grange Road is definitely the way to go .. not Paterson .
Nevermind he'll be taught a lesson by cabbies everyday , not worries .
The Comtech (60 Alexandra Terrace) to Choa Chu Kang North 5:
A: Pasir Panjang Road, Alexandra Road, AYE, Clementi Road, Jalan Anak Bukit, Upper Bukit Timah Road, Woodlands Road, Stagmont Ring, Choa Chu Kang Link, Choa Chu Kang North 5.
B: Pasir Panjang Road, Alexandra Road, AYE, Clemnti Avenue 6, PIE, Bukit Batok Road, Brickland Road, KJE, Choa Chu Kang Way, Choa Chu Kang North 5.
C: Pasir Panjang Road, Alexandra Road, AYE, Clementi Avenue 6, PIE, KJE, Choa Chu Kang Way, Choa Chu Kang North 5.
Most passenger will prefer route A which is the shortest route but not me, too many traffic lights along the way! Those pax who claims from company will prefer route C, the longest but fastest route because after Alexandra Road, the next traffic junction is Choa Chu Kang Way!
david getting better .....

Normally use Grange Road. my personal alternative Napier>Tanglin(Alexandra side)>Chatsworth>Nathan>River Valley>Delta>Ganges>Havelock. Sounds very much longer, distance wise i think around 800m longer, but no jam cos mornings Grange Road jam sometimes quite bad. Normally use for myself in times of booking. Only offer if ang moh + confirm grange road jam and the ang moh knows it. Orchard>Paterson most times oso jam esp. if Grange Rd already jammed.
Not recommended.

i stay at CCK .... from Comtech to Yew Tee ..currently the best route , customer's choice , most common choice , most smooth , shortest , cheapest is
Pasir Panjang Road > Alexandra Road > AYE > Clementi Ave 6 > PIE ( Jurong ) > Bt Batok Road , Brickland Road , KJE > CCK Way or CCK Drive .
This route guarantee no dispute .
I for one , prefer this route , Bt Batok Rd traffic light not so bad la ....
Clementi Road also not bad .
Mind you , i hate driving all the expressways , damn zzzzzzzz..... also KJE traffic police surveillance zone !!!
ALN , if u go Tuas South , get a booking to Punggol , u song liao ....
AYE > No.1 expressway
PIE > No.2 expressway
KJE > No.3 expressway
BKE > No.4 expresssway
SLE > No.5 expressway
TPE > No.6 expressway .
Fare : Non peak $26 including booking . 30 minutes job maximum .
ALN , this route song bo ????
First traffic light at Tuas West Drive , next traffic light at Punggol !!!
Singapore only destination A to destination B , u covered 6 expressways !!!
Shortest , fastest , cheapest !!
My record , 100% paxes staying at Punggol from Tuas , go by this 6 expressways . Or at least 5 expressways if they are from Tuas PIE segment .
