ComfortDelGro, the biggest operator here with about 15,600 taxis, said average net income per cab per day has risen by 12 per cent to $210.93.
The figure, up from $188.69 in November, excludes costs drivers have to bear, such as rental and diesel.
They should go and learn some accounting.
The correct word should be Revenue.
Operating income = Revenue - Operating Expenses
Net income = Operating Income after Tax

"said average net income per cab per day has risen by 12 per cent to $210.93." Is this statement justify? Many had done more than that, or else which TU dare to go home.
Careful on our meter,especially CDG drivers, do not on/off for fun as our MDT is link to the main system in Cablink, every log is capture, so if you are very protective on your income, drive for other company. I did not or intend to block any information? Did I?
How good, how bad a company is, whether link to PAP or government is non of our TU business, especially if you are not driving for that particular company. You pay rental to operate a business, if rental too high, you jolly well do your own calculation and judge by yourself, not to criticize here and there, we don't own a living to the company, so is the company.
Don't try to be a smart alex, giving all the assumption and trying to sleep over it. I'm serious this time, will expect all kind of bombardment. We TD know ourselves, good or bad to drive? Is it a decent jobs to bring home bread and butter? Why worry on good or bad critic?
And lastly, nobody can sell news, you are insulting thousand of SPH staffs. You call, whether Shin Ming want to entertain you or not is up to the editor, not by offering monetary benefit, you had to really watch your statement.

CDG tabulate their calculation through our MRT log report, how to arrive these report? Is through their drivers daily routine on the road. From the moment you log on and pick up the first pax to last.
CDG don't need to sent an officer to sit beside your cab and see what you do, neither they need to sit in coffee shop and tcss with you, but when they release the statistic, people criticize by hell but without knowing that is a facts.
By listening to fellow TU, you think your information is better than computer generated result?
Whether day or night shift, there's no easy way out for TD, CDG know that but refuse to acknowledge, why? Because we still lease the taxi from them and still paying the high rental stupily.
For me, this current Mercedes I'm driving will be the last straw, at 160 for new Mercedes, or any other kind of taxi, it won't work out anymore, but I don't go around criticize on company policy. We are "self employed", happy, we LL drive, not happy, keep quiet and throw back the keys.
Whatever I say, only pertaining to CDG, other company not included.

People said TD 2 hrs can collect $200 already, and some said 1/2day driving can collect $200 already, can go home shake legs. And some said they earn 6 to 10k per month driving taxis...so on.
As a jack of most trade myself including TD, frankly speaking, TD are the only peoples who like to take their part and knock on their own heads.
As Marine worker, most of us corporatively alway tell people/ captain or customer we earn peanut, $30 per day, which in fact is much higher
As Casket drivers, togather thru understanding, we tell clients, we only earn $40 for 12 hrs work, in hoping peoples gives us generous tips
As car dowloader, we as a team understand the need to alway tell other that we earn $10 per car downloading and many wanted the job, so the most we make is $20 to 30 per night of downloading
As Peng bak kwa, this one no need to say, few dollars per hours, like macdonald partimers.
But TD is a different lots, instead of marking it down, they expose their income and even overshot it higher one after another, really bang head.
Even if you tell people from 6pm to 12pm, you take $200, the assumption from peoples is, 6 hrs already $200, then 12hrs, sure $400, that is how people look in us. It is a grave mistake to put assumption into naive people.
And another mistake TD use to make is to come out with a statement, "you can come and try few day driving, then see how" that is not the way to justified the hardship of TD, people will tell you, why not you take over my accountant or fish soup or bus driving or manager job a few days, People do not own us a living, nor do we owe any one.
Together, we, TD should be united, the main objective is to serve the public and earn as much as we can, and by the rule of thumb, we must not over exaggerate our income, which is pathetically low, not that you do not have to work/drive hard for it.
So, brother and sister, huat or obk, keep it to yourself, if not, you are just shooting your own foot

Bullshit! At the end of the day, it is the rental companies that are earning more from the hardworking taxi drivers.
-
i think all this is bullshit...
the people won't take taxis as much because price increase
so the taxi drivers won't take home as much because number of trips reduced which will negate the increase in prices...
the taxi companies won't get as much because the idiots paid astronomical sums for the COEs... and increase their rent to compensate for the increased COE prices...
taxi drivers kena squeezed by the rent increase
then price of fuel go up... again drivers kena squeezed...
the only people taking in more money is LTA who collected all the increased and stupidly high COEs

TD is unlike a worker who can ali baba sit one side and do not have to care what the fark the whole world is going, TD are different, we are constantly exposing ourselve to the public and the govt, even if you hide one side, also got complain TDs idling and waiting for peak hours etc etc.
Therefore, what ever action and speeches you make with paxs or companies or govt body, becareful, among TDs, you can TCSS, but to them, it mean alot, and like a contagious dieases, it can spread like fire.
Later, aunty at kopitiam, wha, now a day, taxi...

Ok Guys...I m really puzzled that why taxi`s and Td `s are no 1 matter in Sg..Almost every week news about TD.. What all those news try to hint at ? I drive long hrs and got spine problem , life has been miserable... who is earning more td or taxi companies ? I m also thinking that some of the writer has problem with td`s.. even if td s are earning 3 k..do we have cpf? medisave ? Mc? we have no luxury to not to drive unless our health has problem... WHy try to portray TD must be low income screwed "self employed" and must whack if they earn beyond their limit(whoever and how they limit has been set in ppl mind don't understand also) Even if we earn let say 20k a month why does it bother to others? we never question to other ppl income..why do they have ours? For the God`s sake ..come and drive 5 days min 12 hrs and come and talk here.. Is there any good soul out there can write about real life and real issues about the td and publish once a month in the newspaper?

No need lar , CDG already done so . -
The figures show in their system don't bull shit.
How much a CDG drivers clock per day per shift is within their finger tips.
That's beside the point, we as a TU know what's going on presently.
How long we going to drive per day is not a concern to CDG, they lease you the taxi in 24/7 basis, they allow you to have relief and you operate this machine at your own capacity.
Whether it become a earning machine or losing machine, you can't probably blame on them right?
Why TD recently always on limelight? We had to ask ourselves, what kind of behavious we showing to the commuters. Slapping? Refuse to carry luggages? Interviewing? Choose location? Reject calls? All already listed inside this forums.
If you are free, maybe you can surf the forum created by foreign expat or local forum, read their comment, than maybe you will understand more. Just like sgforum, they even had a sub forum call "taxi"....

This are all lies . Nothing much have changed to me after the price revision. I still drive
fewer hours and get the same collection. I dun need to listen to Comfuk. They make $746
million in the financial year 2011 and still this is not enuff. Wait till they changed the whole
fleet of crown. Rental jump from $81 to $120. That is a lot of monies to be made. They let
their drivers to do the job. Rental from their taxi fleet, cashless transactions, advertising ,
diesel, accident claim and call bookings contribute to their income. See what I mean.

Press meter doesn't mean always got fare. For example I ferry my brother all the time but press the meter, because if accident, insurance only covers paying pax ie: with the meter on.
My brother is the one who insist to on meter for that purpose, of course I won't charge him. Sometimes my own stuff also press meter because my taxi MDT is the old one, if engine off, auto become green again despite switched off with busy, so I sometimes just on the meter.

For CDG, they had solve this concern.
In our MDT, once you press meter, there's this 'private transfer', you can key in any amount you want, normally is for your regular clients who don't go by meter.
As for your family, just key in 0.01, is a must to on meter whenever there's passenger on board regardless of relationship.
No comment for other company.
