2 things ....

one , as a friend , i said u did a good deed . 

two , as a colleague , i said u deserve some screwing from us , for spoiling the market .

So u think Poolman will take that $2.20 and do some ferry service for her ?

No lah , i am a professional taxi driver , not professional social service worker .

when i am on the steering ..... money come first , cos i am a professional taxi driver .

Sorry if i am ruthless .

Sometimes i start wondering ... if i have only $0.50 , can i ask for packet of Kopi from the coffee shop ?

Most likely i'll be turned down and ask if ice water instead , can ? Still got change left .

I remember a few years ago ...... midnight .

i was heading home from clementi mrt station .

After Clementi Ave 3 , outside the clementi bus interchange , one old man flag me down .

Face red red .... once he open the door , alcohol smell so strong .

He asked me "$5 can get him to Jurong West St 65 ? Bus run away liao " , with the door open , sitting inside my cab , one leg outside . 

I dun even say yes or no .

" Get down ."

So when imagine things , dun just centred at yourself ..... many people out there need solid cold hard cash one .

One more thing , do you know bankrupt people do not have bank account ? Or cannot have bank account ? 

Cannot have atm card , all have to loan from other bank account holder .

So how can they draw out their money ?

$3 Surcharge cannot solve CBD's taxi woo replied by Poolman @ Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:06:31 +0800

From the respones I gather here, the $3 CBD surcharge is just to compensate or reimbursed TD in a limited way after deducting all the ERP charges from them which can ended up usually more than that.

For the earlier part (5 to 8pm), this surcharge may ot be even enough to over the cost of the ERP and drivers still have to endure high traffic and long queue and what takes only 3 mins to get to in other time slot, might takes up to even 5 times to get to the pax.

With this, is it still worth it to enter the CBD zone at this time or as Poolman says, he can easily get the total net worth of his meter reading just queueing at LOT1 cos no ERP deductions.

That's the purpose of my thread cos if this is so, the $3 surcharge the government is "giving" us doesn't work to bring taxi in at that time when it's most needed.

On the other hand, after 8pm, more Taxi are available as no ERP charges by that time and the TD can get the maximum value of that "reward" for coming in. This make it worth the while for coming in.

The current scheme only serve to re-imburse TD, not fully, for the lost, I am thinking a incentive might works better.

Because of my more relax working habit, I used to enter the CBD around 7.30 or 8 but lately because of "money no enough" I start work a little bit earlier and instead of getting motivated by "early bird catches the worms" or higher earning, I really get pissed off by so much ERP charges which in the end, ended up LP-PL.

Now I just ply on the outskirt or wait to find pax to pay for my ERP charges.

 

Bingjames , u weren't in the trade yet to realized the importance of that 8pm to 12mn cbd surcharge .

Just make it simple ...... what will happened if now , cbd do not have $3 surcharge ?

The cbd will be like a town with zombies for taxis after 8pm .

The 8pm city surcharge was implemented to encourgae drivers to serve those people inside the cbd .

Back in the early 2000 , til 2008 , there weren't any $3 , the demand for taxi was so big ... call also no taxi one.

Complaints after complaints ..... we cdg drivers just want call only , no call no take one .

Others ? No perks , they dun come in one

Tzar , tell him to pump petrol and show u receipt as well .

Then at night pump back full tank show him the receipt .

Well Tzar , this is a common practise , pump full tank for both cng and petrol , but ....

always a but .... vehicle became heavier , thus consumed higher in both petrol and CNG .

U have got any idea how heavy is full tank of petrol ?

Alone CNG is 21.90 kg excluding the tank .

Including CNG + Tank + Full tank Petrol = Very heavy to the already heavy Toyota Wish .
