when i was cdg driver , tat time flag down only like $2.60 ....
Booking fee was like $4 .....levy $0.70 ( blood sucker ).... that's all ....no perks no nothing.
Of course we take call lah ....
Cos we compared with people among us ( bukit Panjang kakis ) , and compare mileage and collections .... against our mileage and collection ..... we actually earn slightly $20-$30 more that's about the total amount of say 7-10 calls .
Now ?
Those guys dun take call lo ....they sweep with their Sonata lo .... 25% more for them make a difference.
No call , No airport , No pick n chose , no interviews .....
If got connections , calls they dun take one , sweep faster , no headaches for them .
Of course they are those people who can sweep to anywhere . . including Woodlands very regualrly at night .
End day .....they always relak relak more than those who take calls .
My friend drove sonata , 0 calls can earn more than those who got 10-13 calls each night .
Of course compare mileage ...... they more lah.
