Is double checking consider rude?
Got a current call which was nearby where I am.
Reached pickup location in 1min, pressed call for passenger.
3min passed and not passenger show up.
Suddenly, a lady flag at me.
She said she the one.
But I decided to double confirm.
Why?
The reason being, the customer's for the call is a dialect surname.
But the lady don't look Chinese and she sounded like Filipino.
But wait, Caucasians also have this surname too.
But she don't looked or sounded like Caucasian.
But this double confirmation turned turned out to be a bad idea.
She said that I am rude to ask her.
She called the call centre and complained.
Even after I sent her to her destination, she still said I am rude.
Even I had kept quiet through the journey.
After she alight, there was a Caucasian lady wanted to take my cab.
She told her not to take, cos I got bad attitude.
But this lady still decided to take.
The Caucasian lady asked me what happened.
And I told her.
After hearing the story, she felt that lady over reacted.
Reckless bus driver's abrupt lane change nearly causes driver to slam into taxi
Cabby nearly got into an accident with bus
That's why its always best to keep a safe distance and speed.
Cabby takes longer route then scolds commuter for asking for receipt
This story maybe abit one sided story.
The best is cabby ask for customer's preferred route.
And customer state their preferred route.
If both parties play their part, there will be less dispute.
Less dispute means less headaches.
Cabby income saga
Because of cabby claiming $7k monthly income.
Alot of married cabbies are facing a very big headaches from their wife/husband.
Their wife/husband are suspecting whether they had kept money or mistress.
This story really caused family to argue.
Cabby aiming to earn $7k a month, really need to reconsider.
Once one's health is gone, very difficult to have it back.
No health, can forget about earn money.
Looks like Mr $7k/mth cabby got refute by his friend.
If he earned $7k/mth, why he can't pay his own taxi rental?
Things getting more and more fishy.
Than another netizen's searched churn out Mr $7k/mth cabby might be sued for owing month.
So if these are true, why did his lied?
Don't he know that people can dig up alot of things?
Now he can only blame on his own big mouth.

Morning peak hour ERP rates to be increased at 6 gantries
Looks like they tried to control traffic by this matter.
Will it work?
Maybe will for the 1st few months.
Than everyone will be back to normal.
And start using these ways agin.
Taxi operator's license may not be renewed
Looks like from the data, likely is bye bye.
Government already cut down the number of taxis a company can increase.
So highly unlikely they will increase by the deadline.
Guess they had to merge with someone.
Traffic Police vs Maserati
Maserati thought he could out run the traffic police.
But he didn't realised that his act was caught on taxi's car camera.
Also, he didn't realised that chances were the front traffic light will be red.
So likely he will be caught.
So will traffic police say whether was Maserati caught?

Promise me - Jae Ang
This song is written by a Singaporean singer/composer Jae Ang.
This song was recently into the final of ABU Radio Song Festival 2012.
I'm My Own Boss - $7k/mth
By working 8 hours and 6 days a week only.
He is like talking that he won't meet with jams and low period.
Every cabbies know that there will be high and low period in driving.
So chances what he said was gross income before rentals and fuel.
And $7k gross is not every month thing.
If thats the case, he had his calculations wrong.
He forgot his CPF (his & employer's), annual leave, medical leave etc.
So I guess he is lousy in his math.
But look on the bright side, at least he got his family time back.
And reporter, pls get the facts right before reporting.
And reporter, pls get the facts right before reporting.
Spiderman got grounded by Pocahontas
Wonder on Halloween night, how many cabbies had customers in costumes?
Well, I got 'Pocahontas' & 'Spiderman'.
I was surprised at first.
Than I realised its Halloween night.
So I asked why 'Spiderman' didn't just use his web?
He said he forgotten...haha.
I jokingly said that is it that he got grounded by 'Pocahontas'?
They broke into laughter.

截德士送老母回 母竟失踪儿急坏
Looks like this uncle flagged down a blur and irresponsible cabby.
Even if you can't find the place, at least flag down another cab to send the old lady home.
Lucky for this old lady that she met a good Samaritan whom sent her home.
Or else who knows what will happen.
Cab gets so 'stuck' on kerb, even tow truck has trouble moving it
How did cab get stuck on kerb?
Guess only cabby uncle himself know.
With this, he just lost at least $1k to the company.

SMRT donates $200,000 to help needy cover taxi costs
So SMRT donates to help needy.
So when other transport companies going to donate?
They earn so much, they should really help the needy.
Man who hit taxi driver successfully appeals against sentence
Man who hit taxi driver successfully appeals against sentence 1
I really wonder why was it reduced by so much?
I really wonder why was it reduced by so much?
The fact is that he used a dangerous object to hit the cabby.
Even though he was provoked by the cabby.
But that shouldn't be the reason to use a dangerous object to hit, which might kill too.
5 days might be too short a punishment to make him learn a lesson.
Lorry driver assaults bus captain and leaves trail of destruction at Choa Chu Kang
Now a lorry driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.
And this time was worst.
The cabby case, no one was hurt.
This time alot people were hurt.
And he even beat up the bus driver.
This lorry should be punish heavily.

Lessons to learn from HK's public transport system?
I believe every city will have their own pro and con.
Every city will have their own systems.
Worked for this city doesn't mean it will worked for another city.
I wonder if the writer only see the good of Hong Kong but only the bad of Singapore?
I can't comment on their taxis cos I never take it before.
But their MTR, I had.
Basically, from what I had experienced, I doubt they got non peak hour.
I had taken on a Sunday early morning about 8am.
I took the train from Lou Hu, one of the 1st train stop of 1 of the line.
And from the 2nd stop onwards, the train became more and more crowded.
As I was going to Central, I had to changed 2 lines to get there.
And all the ways was like peak hour crowds in Singapore.
The distance was like going from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay in Singapore.
And the fare was like S$6+.
So its much more expensive than Singapore.
Just remember there will always good and bad for every cities and things.
Thus, no such thing as perfect.
So don't be one sided.
Or else your life will always be DIFFICULT.
So its one's choice to be happy or sad.

Three-vehicle collision at Sembawang traffic junction
How did 3 vehicles collision happened?
Did all came from all different directions?
Wonder if any1 of them got car camera?
If have, than it will be easier to know whose fault.
No need to argue whose fault was it.

‘Unconscious’ man wakes up and scolds Good Samaritan
The guy in the picture is not the driver of the taxi.
He was the guy that called the police to help the cabby that fainted.
The cabby had his head under the taxi.
But this good fellow got scolding from the cabby.
And the cabby was arrested by the police on suspicion of taking drugs.

Letters about cabbies
A kid's plea for better protection for cabbies.
She is able to see cabbies' side of story because her dad's a cabby too.
Some agreed and some disagreed.
So its up to each to agree or disagree.
So what's your view?

Looks like raining season might had started
Recently seem to rain everyday.
Looks like the raining season might had started early.
Looks like driving going to be more difficult.
With more rainy days, traffic going to be slow.
And accidents also going to increase too.
Road users, pls be more careful.
Early morning collision between taxi and BMW at Queenstown wakes resident
Someone must had run the redlight.
Who?
Only they know.
Unless got witness and camera.
This junction really need to extra careful.
Because of the MRT tracks' pillars are blocking certain views.
Driver takes off after being hit by taxi and crashes into HDB block
Whose fault?
Only they themselves know.
Unless there are witness or camera footage.
So its not fair to solely blame one party.

Car was hit by cabby?
STOMPer said he saw it happened.
But why he didn't tried to stop the cabby?
This street is quite a small, don't think cabby can speed out so fast.
Maybe he didn't witness but someone else did?
Cab operator to allow offline card payments
Thats a good move.
But will it work or being taken advantage?
Still need time to test it out.
Going cashless, might lower down the risk of cabbies being target of robbers.
Safety is top priority for taxi commuters
Another survey done on taxis around the world.
And Singapore isn't the worst.
But not the top 5 either.
The truth is that everywhere, there will always be good and bad.
Only if you lucky or not to meet the good one.

Cabby in hit and run case
Wednesday, 17 October 2012
Public transport drivers carry innocent passengers but act like 'F1 drivers'
Actually, its whether you are lucky enough or not.
If you lucky, you will meet good ones.
If you 'lucky', you will meet bad ones.
So if you really think they are endangering your life, you can stop taking it.
You got a choice to choose.

Cabby denies having seen dog after running over it and fracturing its legs
So whose fault?
Both...dog owner shouldn't let the dog anyhow run about.
And cabby should look out.
But if animal or people want to dash out of sudden, not easy to avoid.
Video regarding cabbies getting beaten
These 2 videos regarding cabbies getting beaten.
Looks like they might be making another program on this.
People nowadays are becoming more short temper.

Cabby bites nails and drives one-handed
This STOMPer likely don't know how to drive.
If STOMPer felt endangered, you can request the driver to stop and get another cab.
What's the point of STOMPing?
Want to make this uncle famous?
艳女芽笼上车 吓坏德士司机
Haha...How can I never meet before?
Maybe they prefer older uncles?
But its quite scary, since they can do that to cabbies.
Better be more careful than be sorry.
Letters about cabbies
I know the screens can be a safety wall for cabbies.
But its also create a wall to block communications too.
But I guess there will never be a perfect way.
This way might be a good idea.
But its also punishing the majority non cheating customers.
What I am afraid is that there might be some bad cabbies might take advantage of it.

To the driver of Land Rover, GZ8008
Watch the video at about 2.45min.
To the driver of Land Rover, GZ8008.
I don't know what the other diver had done to you.
But it must had pissed you.
But no matter how pissed you are, you are doing a reckless act on other innocence party.
I had done nothing to you.
But you had almost caused me to bang into you.
At 1st I was wondering why did you do this?
But later I saw you jamming brake on another car.
Is it worth it?
From the car camera, you will be at fault no matter what your reasons maybe.
So if that car also got car camera, you think you can escape responsibility?
What happened if someone died from it?
Please think before you do anything this stupid.
6 kids, her God's gift
Got a current call from a lady.
When I got there, she asked me 'is it ok to take her since she got 6 kids with her'.
Well, since 2 kids = 1 adult, its ok.
She said its quite difficult for her to get a cab because of it.
I was surprised when she told me that all 6 kids are hers.
Its really very rare to see family with 4 kids, let alone 6.
As we chat, she said her kids are God's gift to her.
Why, cause most of them were unexpected.
Even her doctor was surprised too.
Both her husband and her, faithful to their religion, believed that kids are God's gift.
Good for them, and I salute them!
So with kids, if you want them, no matter how hard, you will want them.
If you don't, no matter give what, you will also don't want them.
Sembawang Drive Accident
Condolences to the kids' family.
Pray that the boy will recover soon.
No one want an accident especially when life is lost.
But whose fault for this case?
Chances were, both parties were at fault.
Only was who was at fault more.
Sad case.
All road users really should be more careful when using the roads.

Why surcharges and guidelines can't fix the cab crunch
This is another write up on 'Why you can't find a cab when it is raining'.
But do these reporters really knows about the problem?
Maybe they should drive in order to know the problem?
Cabby molested his maid 4 times
Really don't know why some people like to molest.
If got partner, just go play with them.
If not, just go find paid services.
Why get oneself in trouble with the law.

Taxi driver tells woman not to give him directions despite being uncertain of route
What really happened between the passenger and cabby, only both of them know.
So this story maybe one-sided.
But If cabby really don't where passenger want to go?
Either you give up driving the passenger or you listen to the passenger's direction.
What's the point of getting into an arguement.
Argument will will only become lose-lose for both parties.

'Please return my LV wallet that contains cash saved up for computer for school'
STOMPer, you ok or not?
You lost your wallet in July and now than you can and appeal.
Likely by now all will be gone.
You can forget about it.
Even if cabby didn't take it, some passengers might have.
So unlikely to trace.
So I can only say Good Luck to you.
Cases against cabbies
This is the follow up of 'Cabby terrorised by teen girls'.
Looks like this case had really blown up.
Wonder why none of the parent of the kids spoken up?
This person still drunk or hang over?
If you really did hit, than just accept it.
If you failed in your appeal, your sentence will be up.

Deer met with an accident with taxi
Sambar deer knocked down by taxi at Mandai Rd was wild and not from zoo
Where did this deer came out from?
Where did this deer came out from?
Is it wildlife?
Poor cabby.
Hope he wasn't injured.
And able to recover from his shocked.
Poor deer too
Lecturer hit cabby until umbrella broke

Recently alot 'on-call' passengers changed line to become pilots
Recently alot 'on-call' passengers changed line to become pilots.
So those that complained can't get taxis, these 'pilots' are also part of the reasons.
They not only wasted cabbies' time, but also other passengers' time too.
Well, this problem can't be rid, just as bad drivers can't be rid too.
Sorry, can't help taking another dig at Mr Chis Reed....
Now than they come out with a list.
On the list got half of it are from Europe and America.
So looks like Mr Chris Reed was wrong again.
So are those companies that used his services really so lousy not to find him lousy?
Maybe they should really reconsider using his services?
Since he can't even be clear with services he had used.
Sorry, really can't help it.
Who is so stupid enough to pay so much money this guy?
But some stupid guys do have money to burn?
Maybe not their own, so not hurting at all?

Food poisoning
Who will believe it.
I been to Vietnam for 4 days and got ok.
And I got food poisoning in Singapore.
2 weeks after the trip.
This is really stupid.
I been to this stall so many times.
Looks they just me as a customer.
3 days, unable to do anythings, really sucks big time.
Did you see this report, Mr Chris Reed?
Did you see this report, Mr Chris Reed?
Or you still refused to believe it?
Still think you are right?
Its ok, its your choice.
Just wondering how many people will believe what you say.
Well, its not my problem.
