KBW knows his place and this is just wayang not to lose too many taxi drivers votes.....
KBW is new transport minister so must be seen to be doing something......he never promise will solve the problem.
Spot on. I am with you on this. Auntie Ho cannot be ignored. Who is KBW?
Car-sharing apps will be reviews, regulators say.
Singapore is closing in on private car-sharing apps like uberX, as these apps produce an unfair advantage over regular cab drivers.
According to a blog post by Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan, car-sharing apps like uberX need to be reviewed in order to level the transport playing field.
"Apparently, uberX signs on drivers to drive private hire cars to provide a booking type of transport service, and these drivers do not need a vocational licence unlike taxi drivers. While taxi drivers welcome competition, they demand that the playing field be level. I think our taxi drivers have a point," Minister Khaw said.
However, Minister Khaw also said that countries which have banned such apps have been "hasty in their judgment".
“We must not resist new innovations and new business models. Our instinct must be to flow with the time, keep an open mind to innovations. But we must always be fair to players, whether incumbent or insurgents, and strike a balanced approach,” he said.
Krafty aka driver of SHBxxxx (you know what your number is), its high time you improved your service standards. Next time when you respond to my booking, please arrive promptly and don't put on a sulky face if the destination is near. And also I noticed last time you had porn magazines on your front seat. Fucking share them with me, you selfish bastard.
This is wayang again.
Beginning uber was not even able to enter Sg market.....after big shot was made partner immediately it went into business here. Nothing will happen to uber because it got a fairy god mother here
same goes for grabcar/grabtaxi which is backed by Temasek.
Uber rental is $50 a day? Sure or not.....
The way I heard from uber drivers was $480 a week. Minimum 40 trips a week to qualify for the uber status. Many Malays turn to uber as alternate car ownership. $2000 a mth rental only a couple hundred more than normal car installment but it save on insurance, servicing and road tax plus able to earn $$ to defray the car rental. This scheme better than buying lousy cars on red plate as uber use Toyota altis as rental car. Can do day job then as uber driver at night.
uber actually refer their preferred car rental companies, i just spoke to them last month, that was the rate given to me, $50 per day.
Then can I just rent at $50 a day without using uber at all?

For a taxi driver you sure dunno shit.
What bro mentioned is about right.....was told its around $70 per day as per daily car rental rates.
And yes many mats doing uber and the smart ones goes to JB to pump petrol.
Local uber discourage car owners using own vehicles putting obstacles in the way.....
They want to force drivers to rent as some will recall many 2nd hand car dealers were going to go bankrupt and default on loans to DBS after car loan rules were tighten. Whore jinx had to intervene behind the scene to give lifeline to the dealers. Using uber to rent these cars is another way to 'help' those dealers.
you fucktard, go call them if in doubt!
Husband and wife quarrelling again.
Use your brain.
What's the market rental for a car? 50 bucks can rent? Maybe can rent a van or lorry.
I have friends who are doing uber....if you must know they need to pay a deposit of 1000 then rent a car from designated rental companies. Car owners are discouraged to use own vehicles and they make you buy insurance etc. The rental is $70 up $420 per week for entry level jap saloon. My friend is renting a lancer.
There is a min trips criteria though not sure how that is calculated.
Also drivers given an iPhone.....switch it on means in business already.
Drivers go for interview in the office near upper changi.
I just checked with my friend told me its $60 now for an altis and similar make.
No such thing as $50
For Altis, it is $500 a wk. No daily rental. 6 mth contract. Deposit from 800-1000.
Lion City, subsidiary of Uber charges 20% less but you need to meet min no of trips if not you dont enjoy the discount.
Yes. Lots of Mats. They like Toyota Wish to cater for their family. Wish shld be 530-550 wkly.
