Newbie on the road
-
I chitchat only when I feel sleepy, tell them about this and that, from tourist spots to politics to local issues if it is a local pax, but somehow, chitchat, time past faster, just make sure you know the route to the destination before you pick up a chitchat with pax, at least you are more comfortable and relax to chit up.
Crown not so bad lah, very spacy and nice if well kept, I drive the most at 90km/h, ang mo somemore like slower speed, said..good and safe

I am very ridiculous.
I will always choose the cheaper model - ie- Cedric or Crown, then Sonata, then Epica and so on.
I will even cross the road to take my cab, as I prefer the shorter route as opposed to the U-turn.
But why ridiculous, because in the end, I will always give a tip which would have been more than any savings in the first place.
I guess it's the psychology, I don't want to pay more for the same service when there is a cheaper alternative.
Yet in the end, I will still pay more.
Dumb right? But guess it's my nature.
I guess you have a compassionate heart, as crown driver, I also take crown, because I see them as my situation, a poor old man holding steering and struggling with epica and sonata or even the luxury limos.I face many rejection, PRC alway reject my crown cab, even in airport, when the marshal point paxs to my cab, you can see the dismay in some of their faces, but I try my best to give them a good trip, then when pax ask why i still driving a old cab, I just tell them I poor man, no money for higher rental cab, hope they understand, most end up happy and give good tips, this is also one tactic to get tip
and at the same time, give pax the atas/top feeling. Drive smart and hard, you can make a happy living out of TD

From Clementi to Serangoon North
Correct route ....
If located near Clementi Road .
Pls go by Clementi Road > Holland road > 6th Ave > Dunearn Road > Eng Neo Road > PIE (AP) > Lornie Road > Braddell Road > CTE > AMK Ave 3 > Serangoon North Ave 3 .
if near Clementi MRT side towards Boon Lay way , pls use Clementi Ave 6 > PIE > follow by Lornie Road all the way like above .
When street directory like me used this way , no way is wrong !
Write into your text book .

Also seens like you like to head AP empty.... even from town to AP after 1am... damn daring. not always midnite flights u can get a pax.. sometime u may get stuck for hours.... at town there are several areas where there are pax de... just be patience..... newbies always has the tentacy to go AP for pax... when i was new, i do the same. but now... seldom... except on fri and sun nite where AP is ping ping piang piang.. if not must queue quite long.. also dun bother to queue at MBS unless it is PNG... if not 50% chance u get pax going to ritz carlton, swissotel, chinatown.. not worth after queuing for half an hour... mon, tues after 1am is quiet de.. dead town in fact.... so waiting time for a pax is longer... so normally after 2am usually keep taxi liao.. no point chionging... wed, thurs not that bad.... fri, sat, sun good... town everywhere has pax...
