Worked part-time as taxi driver
In Gotham City to pay for my tuition
Learned what cannot be taught
In classroom by observing animals
Blame experience for my atheism
Making money from money more fun
Fark Lightning for useless propaganda
Taxi driving is dream job for idiots

This story is probably PAP propaganda. Maybe the PAP want Sporeans to consider cabbying as a legitimated career

They don't tell you the ugly side of fare cheats, traffic accidents, jams, high cost the cab companies charge to rent the taxis,....

if all jobless PMEs become cabbies.......PAPigs wud be belly happy & claim credit & justification giving jobs to FTs
Brilliant

u can try to be tutor, the tuition market is big

This is the reason why asians are low on creativity and big on rote learning. Asians are forced to take too many subjects and eventually, not applying all that we learnt when employed. Europeans on the other hand, goes to school to find their field of interest. And eventually apply what he learns when employed.

Do you think it really affects him? He spends 95% of his time outside Singapore.

He is more concerned about cabs in BKK or JKT.

Have you passed the baton to Chootchiew?

This reporter on assignment as a taxi driver claimed taking is at least $3k and if good can be $4k, this despite single driver, if have relief driver takings would have increased by maybe another $1.5k which makes monthly income between $4.5k to $5.5k.

Not small sum.

Several years ago, in between jobs, my brother drove the night shift, and he indicated that it is very challenging. Long hours and uncertain net income, after paying for taxi rental and petrol.

From what I heard, $4k a month is not difficult if you drive solid 10 hrs shift 6 days a week, and cover your rental on the 7th. 1 driver only. In fact $6k a month is achievable, if you are ultra disciplined.

But most drivers earn $3k plus. If $2k a month the driver is probably driving only 8 hrs with a 2 hr makan cum chit chat session incl.

Met a cab uncle in his late 50s. He just wanted to retire and be flexible with his timings. Many good stories from him. Respect.

Hello bro thanks for your concern
I cannot overcome the fear of the primary requirement of this job.I am a total blur sotong on the road. E.g in any district, I do not know how to find the way to the nearest expressway. :o Using GPS is just a added advantage but it cannot be relied on 100%. I need 100% not even 99% becos I am a total road blur fuck. Also not enough time to key in GPS all the time. haiz this is my dream job though.

[winnipegjets]

to reach this amount, discipline is required. :o

No time for toilet break, eat roti for meals during the short time waiting for pax, drink as little water as needed so as to avoid toilet break.

I doubt there are enough taxi jobs out there for all the unemployed or soon to be unemployed Sporeans. For the next GE it will be easier for the 60% i.e. bread & butter issues like jobs, CPF, high cost in Spore, ....
