Like most once come River Valley, I will only stop at Clark Quay. But 1 Fri nite, my backside itchy, 1 pax flag just before Md Sultan, everyone else had avoided him, those days i like to put changing shift, so I ask him where he go at 11.40pm, he say bedok, i say sorry I going Newton.
So I carry on, but of course my mistake to cancel the change shift after midnight and re-log on. This mf later complain to LTA and of course I got a nice invitation. Comfort of course very helpful, go and download the data from my MDT etc and give them (my stupid hirer also neevr tell me this).
So I go LTA, but lucky I kena a reasonable officer. I tell him, sir, yes I got put changing shift because that day I take over at 6 then put yishun CS because gonna meet my son and that day got religious affair (really got that day) which i must go Novena, thats why i put Cs to newton. After Yishun I got go Novena and then wanna go Tank Road also for praying, thats I put CS, but why I ask pax because I realise why other cab never stop, he was waiting at River Valley near the bend, double white line, very dangerous, when i stop I realise that and wanted to move so I just make excuse ask where, say cannot and quickly chow.
Officer say this serious $200 + 2 weeks, I say very sorry never do on purpose. I say I accept whatever you say and wanna do, but if can give warning or reduce fine to just CS when not changing ($50) I am grateful. He say okay, see how, he tell pax give me warning. Few day later I call him, he say pax not happy with warning, i say never mind, you do what you have to do. So far until now, no letter or call from officer, so i think pax never go down LTA or whatever. If still kena bo pian. But for me, no more Mr Nice Guy, pax waiting before CBD, no need to stop, very dangerous behind got car, I never see, consentrate fully on the road. Only inside CBD, I filter to the left and drive slowly. No more CS, but I will study pax first from now on, if got group or I suspect whatever (pay Nets etc), never mind I drive long enough to know what kind of pax I want to pick up.
Sometime, I guess wrong for sure but bo pian just take but most time I can get it right. Thank you LTA, now I follow your rules, no bus-stop, no near junction, your pax all before CBD like to wait near bus-stop or at junction what! So I follow traffic rules and keep safety first, you want to summon me, summon la, summon what I very interested to know. So when pax complain got no taxi like Mr Conrad Raj the Today Editor, I laugh and laugh, dont blame me hor, blame your super LTA for their wonderful rules.
Huh really kena ?
