Cabby makes 44 km trip when best route is only 29km

SGforum

Stomp

Saw this on Stomp and SGfourm.

Looks like this cabby really pissed off this person.

And now this story has caused even more headaches for those earning honest living cabbies.

This cabby really used a lousy reason for his misdeed.

But I also wonder why they still continued with the journey with this cabby?

And now, both sides ended up with more headaches for each other.

2 major jams on 27/02/2012 morning

27/02/2012 morning was a rainy morning.

Thus it also caused 2 major jams on 2 major expressway...ECP/AYE and PIE going towards west.

Because of the rain, people drive more slowly.

But also cause mor accidents.

Thus it will cause more jams.

So were you caught in it?

Alone, Forever?

Someone made this video.

See it.

Maybe you had experience it before.

Quite meaningful.

Seattle welfare recipient lives in million dollar home

Wow...so rich and still need welfare.

Either they are so clever that can bluff the officials...

Or the officials are so dumb to do checking.

Will this happen in  Singapore?

Why do you want to be night shift cabbies

Hi to all night shift cabbies,

Why do you choose to drive night shift?

Driving night shift everyday...how is it like?

I seldom drive past mid-night...thus don't know how is it like.

Cos its more dangerous to drive at night than day.

Even most fare cheats strike at too.

But you are brave to drive past mid-night.

I have to salute you all.

Ever got stuck before?

Hi, fellow cabbies,

Just wondering...every got stuck in an area?

Me...once in awhile.

Sometime good...sometime bad.

But seldom continue for 2 days.

But for last mon and tue...during 5pm-8pm...I was stuck and bad for earnings too.

Mon was Woodlands and tue was Jurong.

No matter how, just couldn't get out.

I thought of just leave the area.

But that time is peak hour...thus might stuck in traffic.

Guess I was just plain unlucky.

Cos I couldn't even get booking too.

Guess you can't win all the time.

Once you accepted this fact...you will live a happier life.

You should visit New Orleans, USA

Yesterday while working as cabby...I picked up a customer from New Orleans, USA.

Nice person, no air.

Start chatting with me once he boarded the cab.

He said that its like going back to New Orleans.

Why?..cos these few days' weather were like the last few days he was in New Orleans.

He went on to intro New Orleans to me.

This is not a big city like New York.

Its a much smaller city than Singapore.

Lastly, he happily talked about Carnivals in New Orleans.

He talked a one that most guys will love it.

The Carnival is New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Why will most guys love it?

Don't know if its true.

He said during it, you can throw beads at the gals, and they will show their breast to you.

Since I never been there before, I don't know.

So if anyone been to New Orleans or attended this carnival, pls verify.

Thanks!

Poor Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal,,,don't know whether to laugh or cry.

And have a good laugh out of it.

Quite expensive

PS:

This is quite a popular vegetarian restaurant in the vegetarian circle.
The environment is quite nice and clean.
The foods are not that bad.
But compare with other that I eaten, its not the best.
To me, this place can once a long while go eat.
The price is quite high, above average.
Thus this is also the push factor for me to go.

Singlish...love or hate it

 

This is uniquely a Singaporean language.

Cos it include many languages from different races in it.

Though other country also have their own uniquely language, but seldom have so many languages in it.

The taste is not as nice.

那些年，雍正追过的女孩！

Recently in China, there are alot of Chinese series setting in Qing Dynasty about Emperor YongZheng.

Thus some people created a video making fun of this..

Quite funny.

So enjoy it.

The new era risk....

 As cosmetic surgery get more and more advance...this become the new era risk.

Some surgery is so successfully that they are more prettier than real gals.

So we will need to ask to see the birth certificate to confirm 1st.

Why can't just follow the meter fare?

Few days back, sent a customer from Joo Chiat Terrace to Airport during non peak hours.

When reached, he was shocked.

He told me this is the cheapest fare he had for the same ride.

He said most of the time are about $20.

And there was once $39.

I ask if he had taken during peak hours or the luxury cab?

He said not peak hours and all normal cabs.

No matter how I calculate, its not possible.

Not even with the $8 advance booking.

Or even go by PIE instead of ECP.

Why don't follow the meter fare?

Why risk because of that few dollars?

If the money is meant to be yours...it will be yours.

If not...it will still gone in some ways.

Two stupid drivers!!!!!

cabby_cuts_into_lane_aggressively_ramming_car_on_the_ecp

Actually saw this video yesterday on a friend's Facebook.

Comments there seem to state the cabbie was wrong.

To me, both were wrong.

Comments at stomp also suggest that both were wrong.

I don't know if the stomper whom wrote this and the person whom posted on FB are the same.

If yes, he is really stupid to think he done no wrong.

But from the video, both were wrong.

Now he also shoot himself in his foot and jumped into a hot soup.

The cabby was also stupid too.

Why did he took revenge because of the high-beam.

Now he is in big trouble and might lose his livelihood.

Really stupid taxi uncle!!!!!! Part 2

Really OMG!!!!!! Part 2

This taxi uncle really STUPID!!!!!

He really bring bad name to all the honest and good cabbies.

He also got photos taken of him using his HP while driving.

There is a video also.

And also kena posted on Stomp!

Now he will also be in trouble with the company and also TP.

Also really no running away..

Chances are he will also be kicked out by the company liao.

PS:

Since its almost the same as really-stupid-taxi-uncle.

So I decide to just modify the text.
Nothing more I can say will change anything.

Really lucky to avoid an accident

No one like to be involve in an accident.

Especially to cabbies.

Even not in the wrong, but the lost of income is big.

And the lost of income seldom can be claim in full.

The video was taken from the camera installed on the taxi I am driving.

I was ferrying a customer west bound on PIE.

I was at lane 1 traveling around 90km/hr.

As can see, lane 1 was quite clear.

When see on lane 2, there were 2 black cars.

After I was going to over take the front 1 of the 2.

Without signaling, he filter right.

I quickly jam brake and sound the horn.

Luckily he managed to filter left in time.

Also luckily, no car was close behind me.

That black car than started to going to the left side at quite a high speed.

He was like trying to escape.

Seriously, I don't how this accident was avoided.

Cos even at low speed, it might not be avoidable.

Only thing I can do is to go Guan Yin temple to pray.
