find a pool of regulars lah,wat give extra service lah,do tis do that,think out of the box etc
but when you otr after few weeks or mths,all these will change
as wat Pool said,regulars? ma na wu eng....don't disturb me the best.
Pax anytime wants taxi within 5-10mins,just dial respective taxi coy number,that simple!
yar man...
when OTR liao... first half of the day... the onli thing in the mind is cover rental... cover fuel...
some TDs dun break for meal untill they cover their rental...
second half of the day... quickly hit target and head home...
pax sometimes dun even need to call... juz stand at the road side flag hav taxi liao...

Then driver usually far away , cannot make it , tell pax give you 30 minutes , they fly there .
Service very good . Pax impressed , but . . . then drivers will come to think of it , knn got pax dun take , spent 30 minutes come down from Tampines to Shelford Road , and for that $10 ?
Worth it ?
Then slowly . . . when pax call next day , not free , quite far away .
NExt day , still far away .
Then pax stop calling , call 6552-1111 better , no need wait 30minutes .
or worst still... fly down from tampines to shelford rd... caught in a jam somewhere... den pax call to say:"uncle... sorry... I got a taxi liao..."
-
If i am a Limousine , yes i will need to print out many name cards , cos my service is Premium Service , cheap taxi pls call 6552-1111 .
If i received a call , if i cannot make it , page out , hopefully got members support , at least network is there to continue business , from both myself and the network .
For Premium Prices , yes worth it .
Prices ranging from 25 points to unlimited .

Thanks members for the response , it's a good learning platform for those newbies .

Of course, many cheapbo pax will try to take advantage of TU, but it work both way again, sometime, we also want to take advantages of pax..heehee
As a normal TU, if you want to give name card, must spell out properly, non-obligation to serve, because like Poolman say, meter nia...
But, if limo pax, eating half way, you will also fly there, which happen to a lot of TU before...hahaha
yah agree if limo pax diff story liao~~~~

So far, the most ulu ulu place with landed properties, for me, I think is at Wak Hassan area, off Sembawang Park.
Still developing new houses, but many TU try service that area, and mostly fail, because no members want to chiong there, too far out...lol
too far bro not worth it i find........

ON THE ROAD
Today got scolded by an ang moh girl. I think early twenties. She say I stupid.
Her accent so strong, I got to ask her a few times where she going.
Mandarin Galleria. Jialat, izit in Singapore? (thinking only)
Then she says go Taka first.
Taka easy lah, got accent or not scent also can understent.
Almost turn to Taka, then she says go straight.
Almost go straight then she says turn right.
Then I told her, "Oh, this is Mandarin Orchard"
She angry, angry gave me the fare.
I told her "dont get angry, sorry for not knowing where she wants to go"
She says, "How can not angry, you people so stupid."
Formula : Strong Accent from Pax = Taxi Uncle Stupid
Indifferent....

But I not Stupid leh.

To each his own. I will still go ahead and print out my name card.
Of course, will not give to everyone. If pax ask or give tips, I will give.

Name card just an item, can have, can also don't have, sometime you go to restaurant, cafe or pub, can drop your name card also to get special promotion...hahaha
Still need that desire to drive a taxi in Sg. Most days, just feel sick to even start that engine.
Like Bro BCL had said, nothing great on TD...Rejection, Discrimination, Intimation, Insult is everyday issues for TU. Learn this motto by hard, "kwa tou zeng, kaw si beng", meaning just concentrate looking around for safety while driving.
And TU always say this after their shift...
æœ‰æƒŠæ— é™©ï¼Œå�ˆè¿‡äº†äº”点。。。LOL

Go one round OK. Second round, no lahh
So you tell me chio ornot.
Jasmine I can still go 2 / 3 rounds, but condition is she dont talk.
If she talk in hokkien, my little brother broken arrow.

Last time, I very hot, can fire my factory operators on the spot.
Now I cool down, because of my religion.
Sometimes not good, but I already promised myself to let go.
Eg. Pax pay $10 for $11 fare, (deliberately because he quickly get out and walk off) I also neber chase after him. My method is to pray that he stop do this to others.

Brother striveOn, So now you know why you are a TD, people do, heaven see, heaven can wait for you, but hell await no one.
Nevetheless, it could be a blessing that you are a TD, maybe your god wanted you to be more happy, commit less sins, less stress and able to be with family more often.

If a pax look down on TD, no need to talk so much, even you get the right direction and location, the look down mindset will make it difficult for us, just fark off, chio or not chio cannot even match JC girls -
