Got some people working , me can also do something , but not much . The set-up is there liao .... aiyo year end take some dividend nia . Little bit only , not a million , never even close to $100,000 , far far below , just a few % .
Now too free .....
Rather spent those time doing something i like . I do miss driving .... alot .
Me a bad guy , always like trying something new ...
Have been thinking about driving CNG , and a Wish .
See what diff a Sonata and a Wish can make .
I was impressed with Toyota Wish , very impressed .
Timing going back to taxi is right , demand was good .
Salary was okay , satisfactory .
Everything turned out really bright .
Working timing , wages , health , freshness , customer put my Wish as top of their choices , i am happy .
Can be better if my refilling method & timing works .
The best is this Wish hit my all time Friday record high , it's something i love to achieve as a taxi driver , a new height !
Now thinking about what my next new height ?
Still thinking everyday ....

Teo, the premio is a petrol model leh...1500cc correct? you got to deposit $5K and sign for 5 years? let me know as i am making a comprison for my own requirement.
Yes Tan it's 1.5l & Petrol
I've considered & compared all models from all companies for the past 5mths & finally decided to go ahead with the premio reasons:
1) New auto taxi all above $100/day example Sonata,Epica,Magentis & Skoda,Premio with all adv features like twin air bag,abs only $76 nett good for omo like me
2) Diesel taxi can cover 10km/l but petrol can go 13km/l,average 400km/day diesel cost me $35 & petrol cost me $38(I got lobang get petrol at 18%) diff is only $3 but outright rental I already save almost $30/day
3) I love taxi driving since day 1 so I'm very sure I'll be doing it for the next 5years so the contract no issue,still got $5k bonus upon completion,I treat it like a forced saving:) I always tell people,which job can give you a car to drive with insurance,rd tax,installment,servicing,petrol all paid for yet still earn $3k plus or even more? freedom,no back stabbing from colleagues,it's TAXI
4) The 5k deposit is a headache I agree but it's still your $$$ afterall,I treat it like a invested $$$ to do this biz,confirm 100% make $$$ if you put in the effort.you can also treat it like a downpayment for a new car but this downpayment will be paid back to you haha where to find lol
The downside are car no power,as gd as no on-call system.these 2 no problem for me
This only gd for omo I feel,I decided not to have relief as really give me lots of headache & time constraint.But I still keep my sunday/PH relief

Teo, did you consider Transcab? any home work on that and your opinion? i agreed your rental is lower considering it's a smaller capacity engine , petrol, and wondering how long it can endure for taxi driving....
Why you never consider their Honda Airwave, partner, axio which is cng type for the same rental?
the 5k deposit can be paid by $1k booking fee,$1K when collect car & the rest $3k installment ($10 added to your rental daily for 300days)
I consider Trans b4 but they have only the wish which I felt is a bit too big for my work.I mainly do regular shenton way pax most of the time only a lady or man. a bit wasted to drive a 1.8cc,but its a gd car to drive
I dunno y but I really like the premio & the reviews are all positive I've read esp the excellent f.c,the axio & partner are also gd but I still prefer the premio
teolk, did you also get info from smart? do they have cng with the lowest rental?
my on-call system will be my own mobile phone next time. I've quite a few regular from shenton way that will call me regularly & they are happy to know I'm changing to a new taxi.So my 6mths in SMRT are not wasted:) database collection lol
the best part is I don't have to pay levy for the calls
for Prime, i just wonder why the deposit is the same for cng or petrol. Then the bonus payout is twice the amount for cng?
