Biggest diff between day and night shift ? Day shift need lots of
Cos most trips bottom got nothing after peak . That's why people say slow . But point is ..... Day shift cos its cheaper to hail for a cab , almost every HDB can connect paxes easily . Even if it is cheaper , connection more can still charlie makan .

Night we need most
-
Say day ..... Average 22 paxes each day .... Night will never get 22 paxes . 13-17 is max . Cos most time empty down to town . Day shift short distance connect one by one .... $5 , $7 , $8 , $10 , got $14 damn good liao . Night ? One trip town to say Woodlands , 30 minutes , $28 . Then how ? Empty to town about 20km at least , diesel or cng how much liao ? The CBD surcharge is for us to recoup the diesel or cng used to come to town .

There are things that turns me off for being OMO/ hirer on day shift like servicing the car once a month, have to check engine oil, etc. Still can't decide being a hirer.

Brother, your hours of working is quite ok, hopefully you also can try morning from 4am to 11pm if you are OMO, but lets be frank, Taxi driving inital start is start with a bomb, chiong here and there, then they earn alot in the mid way, after that, all start to diminish, because by 2 years, you see through, kua kui liao, then you see a diminish of income, but more rest.I am afraid you might not see a 4k target
It's just a wild thought being an OMO, day time traffic too messy for me. I would have a hard time searching for taxi stand in CBD areas.

Town to Woodlands in 30 mins? Must be driving very fast..... me cannot match that speed.

Today pax keeps sending me to the same route, town to east then aiport to town, then town to east and aiport to town again. Majority of the trips tonight are highway route, dam shiok, no need to keep turning left and right.
Parked car at 4am, after deduction of cost, profit $1xx. Quite close to last weekend collection. Wanted to drive until 6am to hit $2xx, but mind already numb, rather go back rest than risk my life on the road with a tired mind.
