"Hi Bro poolman, need your advise on transcab calls. Where and when usually transcab has the most calls??
Thanks Bro."
One forumer ask me .
Day shift dun ask me . I dunno .
Night shift wise .....
Say i start my shift at 4pm for instance .
Tuas has got so many . . . Gul Circle , Joo Koon , Benoi , Gul Rd , all Tuas extended to Tuas West area and further into Tuas South .
All the way til 6pm .
Then all goes into silent .
Cos all Comfort and Citycab chiong to Tuas liao , got 25% mah .
Customers cannot get Comfort then call other companies for rescue one .
Then from 6pm to 8pm , TransCab i can say very low call volumes .
Cos again , Comfort's 16,000 in force liao , all Scheme A mode .
Others no chance one .
Until after 8pm , TransCab then call come back again . Esp those outside CBD .
TransCab has got almost zero inside CBD calls for me .
My rating for them : 2/10 . Lousy .
Why ? Cos most Comfort drivers dun take outside cbd call , cos their calls inside CBD still got chance , esp places like Shenton area and Marina areas . Some Comfort drivers rather pick and go inside CBD .
Outside CBD customers listen music until sian , then call other companies one .
TransCab outside CBD call can ring all the way til 10.30pm sometimes .
Like Little India type , i for one ignore TransCab calls starting from 8pm .
All can sent u to ulu places one .
Day shift , i heard lah , CCK & Bukit Panjang very strong .
Bukit Batok a bit .
Sengkang and Punggol equally strong .
Woodlands Yishun Sembawang also not bad .
The rest i dunno . . .
I try to give myself a few reasons to take TransCab calls , but cannot find .
First , calls no destination ! Why should i take for that extra $2.90 , when i can get inside CBD for an extra nett surcharge of $3 ? earn $0.10 more .
Why should i be earning $0.10 less ?
why should i feed the taxi company $0.40 and got thrown to ulu places ?
I will take unless .... i pay them $0.40 and know exactly my destination .
If not , i will just laugh at the MDT , or straight away press NO !
As for off prime calls , i for one really see $2.30 no up .
$2.00 press meter have liao , no need give $0.30 to feed those monkeys there .
As for that new member who ask this question , TransCab calls all bananas one .
U take 5 minutes job , still ok . To cancell a 5 minutes job , all in all only take 15 minutes .
Their job some 25minutes one , crazy but true .
U take u die , cos it will take you about 35 minutes to cancell a job .
Cos TransCab if u need them to cancell a job , it's damn fucking difficult to get thru .
We call also difficult , pax call also difficult .
Pax call easy to confirm a job , but it will take ages for them to be able to cancell a job .
Those 25 minutes job are those Advance Booking no takers then they convert into Current jobs and despatch it out .
So if u take those 25 minutes job , paxes laugh .
Cos they save from $6.50 to pay only $2.30 .
But we die , 25 minutes phui jobs .
I dun take one lah , crazy .
I cannot imagine those people who take such jobs .
U can take , once u take , call pax immediately .
Make sure they dun run .
Once they say they never confirm , u can call operator to cancell .
Or if u think it's a waste of time waiting , press meter and run .
Waste $0.30 only .
Always remember to write down your total jobs taken on daily basis .
2 means tonight they will giro 2 only from your POSB account .
TransCab system very cock up one , suka suka chute levy on drivers one .
Then portal also no records of job done to track down unsuccessful job bids .
Sometimes they also chute levy on cancelled jobs .
Those who want to wait for TransCab calls , will die cock stand .
TransCab drivers sweep one , dun wait for call one .
If u want to be a solid job taker at TransCab , must be like Uncle me , well trained from Comfort .
Then u can say TransCab calls chicken feed haha all the way .
But if u are trained from TransCab Call system , u go Comfort , ur balls will be one big one small .
One thing for sure ...
TransCab calls dunno why , never require me to make U turn one , all infront one .
If have lah .
TransCab calls all within 2km boundary one .
Very rare unless at Tuas .
One good thing about TransCab , some call can be on the spot one .
Just press 5 minutes and pull handbrake and wait .
when i near Tuas area , TransCab got many calls from Jurong Island .
Members who are not familiar better dun take .
Very troublesome one , must change NRIC , then cannot go faster than 70km/hr . Many cameras inside .
Make sure see properly then press if desperate to take .
Never take Banyan Place and Tembusu Road calls .
Very far deep in .
How far ?
Let me see .....
From Jurong Island checkpoint , to Tembusu , is about 14km ?
Something like Bukit Panjang Senja to Tuas Road End .
Pay me $3.30 before levy and want to travel inside 14km to do a job and sent them to Jurong Point MRT ?
Over my dead body .
My fuel already how much ?
Members listen , Jurong Island's job , for most radio taxis centre , it's all $8 plus meter .
This people who pay $3.30 , damn cheapkate one .
Those drive Prime will know , Prime set a $8 booking fee for bookings inside Jurong island .
The rest of us , Boon Lay , Taman Jurong and Lake View all same , $8 plus meter .
Jurong Island paxes they never call Comfort taxis , cos they really got no chance .
If i Comfort and take Jurong Island job , i tell people , people will laugh at me .
So they call others .
Those lousy jobs from TransCab , are those people who pay $8 plus meter also no taxis for them one .
Can imagine where their destinations ?
4 x places lor . . so simple , deliver Gardenia Roti .
I pressed NO more than i press YES on my MDT .
Even inside CBD sometimes durian dropped , i also never take TransCab inside CBD calls one . If i take inside CBD calls , LV's Coconut Tree calls who take ?
Do you guys know ?
My MDT put there is for me to hang my Galaxy Tab .
But if Day Shift got calls , close two eyes take lah , Tuas jiu Tuas , take first than worry later .
My MDT is my heart , my ears and thumb .
I take calls by listening one . Reacted through my heart to transmitt to my thumb .
Not by seeing .
Yes , that is Lake View !
Hope u all learn something today .
At night after 9pm , TransCab many Ions Orchard calls .
These Ions Orchard callers super cheapskate one .
Walk from Wisma Atria to Ion then call . Save CBD $3 .
Think i stupid ?
Those TransCab drivers who took , if u are one of them , pls lah , u are a joke .
And recently , keep getting Four Seasons Hotel calls , i No until pek chek .
Also Orchard Hotel , Orchard Parade Hotel , Hilton International , RoyalPlaza Scotts .
If TransCab no levy , i can entertain one or two to help .
With levy $0.40 ?
Not the money , it's my principle .
Also TransCab calls , compared to Comfort's call , Transcab calls super disadvantage one .
why ?
Comfort when their call come in , can see names and handphone numbers , can pick n chose by names .
TransCab nothing .
Once u press YES , then the names will come out : Mr Kelvin
Pax Kelvin on board : " Uncle Woodlands ."
Pock liao !
Unlike Comfort's , they reject local names one , what Cindy , what Serene , what Kelvin , what Mr Tan etc ...
They go for Mr Valentino Lopez , Mr Suzuki Honda , Mr Hakin Galatasaray , Mr Lee Hyun Song such names .
TransCab all grap those hidden local names .
Cos Comfort drivers kena until siao go ull places with local names .
Singapore calls shouldn't have names and handphone numbers before successful bidding .
All must have fair play .
Now foreigners have advantages .
Local disadvantage .
Given to me , after 8pm , i will get a higher risks of going to ulu places with local names .
I will have lower risk of going to Woodlands with names like Mr Suzuki Honda .
Of course u can argue , now Amercian also stay Woodgrove , but u must see , how often u get one of such calibre ?
Yes of course u bid for American Club calls , u are very likely to go Woodgroves .
Anyway TransCab calls super tai ko one . Dun disturb me .
