I don't even know how to get the Geylang?!??! I rarely go out when I am not a cabby.
Road sweeping this couple of days, I learn quite a number of new road and routes..I am still afraid to take call. I have yet to take any calls. I am worried that I might not make it to the pickup point in time.
Most passengers are ok and most are respectful. Just that my 1st day really bump into all the NONO pax.
Pior to being a cabby, I have always thought it was a easy job but alas...I cannot help but emphasis that newbie should NEVER start out OMO now.
I spend some time at petrol kiosk talking to laojiao...learn some trick from them.
Today, coming out of Fullerton Hotel, I did not lock my door..as I am going to exit from Fullerton Sq...group of indian tourist just jumped into my cab. LTA enforcement officer were there and took a couple of pics :( I also don't know why..Fullerton Sq is not on the list of no pickup road.
Taxi drivers cannot be too nice one , believe me .
Customers dun deserve it , cos taxi fare too low to deserve red carpet treatments . Singapore taxi fare just good enough to sent them home , nothing more . Sent them home safe is bonus for them .
U looking for trouble once u too nice .
