Why you don't get taxis in Singapore when it rains?
-
Simple theories lah ....
Raining day .... sewage holes all kena water , all the cockcroaches start crawling out of holes to take taxis .
Am i clear about that ?
-
And it can happened to anywhere in the world when it rains , taxis always hard to get .
-
That's why i drive taxi ......
That's why i joined Lake View ...
That's why i dislike Comfort calls ....
That's why i drive a cab which my roof top can suka suka ON CALL .
-
Comfort drivers all kena throw into those jam routes , where got taxis?
So i more clever , i handicap Comfort take all the calls first , wait for them one by one kena inside those jam roads , i slowly play my own game .

-
Once rain , all jam ,taxi drivers all select those non jams places like HDB areas , town where got taxis ?
Coming into town all jam up .... how to come in?
Comfort drivers coming back to town and take a call and got thrown into jam roads again , and into ulu places again , and worst deliver roti again , they will scared one .
-
Once it rains , Comfort everywhere also calls , they where got time entertain CBD calls ?
-
Cos once it rains , taxi drivers became picky , scared kena go jam roads , paxes going toulu place , where got time?
In the end , call Comfort lor ....
So in the end , take calls kena jam ... all the way to ulu places .
Or even deliver Roti one by one ..... where got taxis???
-
Drive taxi same ?
No lah fuck...
Different taxis different style .
Different taxi driver , different skills .
-
Raining day ?
Lake View members where got scared one ?
Why we no scared ?
Cos our fate is in our own hands ...... We control our own destiny , not at taxi company's mercy.
We happy to take , we just take .
Not happy to take , we'll get pax to call back again
Simple ..... Those calls we rejected one , all goes to any other taxi which calls has no destinations .
Those good ones ..... we eat first .
-
That is what happened recently , pax had to offer us more money to get a cab home .....
Yeah when it comes to rain , our LV pax know who to call if they needed a cab .... and need it fast .
-
No formula can solve this issues ..... unless Singapore totally has got no taxi service.

Sure or not?
Not true. They don't stop at roadside. If they stop at roadside, there will be more accidents.
Other than that, it is true. If it is a rain storm, I will not drive.
So what! if there are more people waiting for taxis. Are they willing to cover my $1000 deposit and $2400 access fees in the event of any accident?
Taxi Drivers are Guilty! until proven Innocent. Very sure.

Yalor, even private car also stop, lorry also stop, container also stop, then traffic also damn slow, each taking their own sweet time, then suddenly someone dash across the road in the rain..also hv to jam brake. Then those cheapos who use to boycoot taxis and take BMW (Bus Mrt and Walk), suddenly all chiong or stuck at bus stop waving fanatically like someone passed away for cab, then no cabs, then complain lor.
Rain mah, even less TP, less police on the road. Even LHL can cancel outdoor appointment due to heavy rain, not to mention taxi driver, tio bo..

This is typically another bite on our education, since young, we will taught not to go out in the rain, the thunder might strike on you or that the acidic rain can make you lose your hair or get sick, or that you might fall down into a drain.
So now, as TD, you want us to go out in the rain??

i not selling , that's what we do .

I need LV more than LV need me .....
If no LV , i seriously dunno how to drive a cab .
But looking at those bigger pictures , so far i doing just fine .
Raining day , most important it's where i am heading , not where pax is heading ... at any cost .
U can pay me $X or $XX amount on top of meter , if amount dun benefitted me at all ..... why should i take it ?
I rather take $3.50 + $3 cbd and still can connect $3.50 + $3 .
Rather than Advance Booking +$3 and got hit inot massive congestions routes and took one hour to reach ulu destinations and need to drive down again .
In town i got the least possibilty to be involve in any accident , cos i am bloody slow in town .
In expressway , the longer i drive , the higher the chance i got involve in an accident and be caught in an jam due to accident .
-
Sometimes i asking myself ...... raining day , MRT type punctured cannot take ?
Or raining day ..... MRT will kena strike by lightning cannot take ?
Why must take taxis ?
And when cannot see any taxis , complaint Singapore not enough taxis .
-
I really some day commuters can call me and ask me why ?? Why ??? Why ???
I make sure they understand , and know ways to get a cab , and get it fast .
they just got to understand all .
Then assume they knew all , and start criticising those deficiencies
-
by the way ..... LV no need to sell , it will sell by itself .
I am just a route into LV .
