WONG OK!
Taxi drivers are NOT REQUIRED TO even touch the luggages. Only do driving. They can help if they are willing. Usually they are too kind that's why they got EXPLOITED.
Taxi is a PASSENGER SERVICE VEH, not a GOOD SERVICE VEH. Fare paid are for fetching passengers only, not for delivery of goods or luggages.
Taxi vocation does not require drivers to be even fit for taking any luggages, only fit for driving vehicles. So 70 yr old uncle, small build girls, fat ass aunties are all able to get licenses, as their vocation requirement are ONLY FOR DRIVING.
Don't believe me call LTA.
My old man was a cabby and according to him lots of foreigners expecting lots of nonsense from cabbies other than transportation. Especially Ah Nehs from India. The more you are kind and fulfilled their requests they will demand even more.
e.g want Air con adjusted to MAX, taxi fare does not even cover such thing, even if air con spoil the driver can still charge the same fare, if the passenger don't like it can take other taxis.
e.g. want to request changing music asking for Indian music or rock or what crap, no need to even provide any sound entertainment for passengers no obligation no requirement.
e.g. asking 100 questions along the road, uncle where is this? what is this building? where to eat Bak Kut Teh? How far is Malaysia from here? Fuck Off! You are not paying guided tour fees at all!
e.g. demanding taxi windows to be opened, turn off air con, no such thing! Drivers are entitled to enjoy is own air con in hot pee sai!
e..g demanding driver to push wheelchair baby strollers! No such thing! Fare don't cover these! Insurance don't cover this! If you fell dead injured from wheelchair going to sue driver?
e.g. demanding to stop board or alight at illegal places, typically bus stop, say rain or what, LTA TP will still make drivers pay fine, just fuck off, illegal request no need to entertain!
e.g. tourist asking to take photo with SG taxi, asking driver to take photo for them, can tell them fly kite!
e.g. demanding to be taken to hotels within their specified budgets, blame driver for taking them to expensive hotel, no room available etc. Taxi is not your hotel broker, drivers not require to advise you on prices of room, or availability or quality. Foolish friendly helpful drivers got themselves into trouble to give opinion or suggestion. Let the tourist call STPB to ask, you drive to the address they provide, if they check at hotel, you wait with meter running, don't like this one? Let them tell you where they want to go next, you drive and charge accordingly.
I heard lots of stories from my old man and became expert already.
