More business for taxi drivers

[Ah Hai]

A taxi company boss told me that the business for taxi drivers has picked up significantly since the opening of the Sentosa integrated resort (aka casino). The average earnings of taxi drivers has increased to $2,500 compared to $2,000 previously. Some taxi companies have applied to the Government for work permits for taxi drivers from overseas - due to shortage of locals willing to be taxi drivers. I hope that more unemployed workers will come forward to try driving a taxi.

I always think that Taxi driving is the last trade to turn to when a sinkie has no where to turn to. It seems like opening up to foreigners will lower the income of drivers,is that what they want?:oIo:

Anyway, I can't wait to see what is the Government's final decision?

Besides, are they sure these foreign drivers can get accustomed to the rules and habits of Sinkie's drivers. These Taxi companies only think of their pockets! It's true they need more cabbies,what about those(for some reasons) appealing to MP and still waiting for outcome. Spare a thought for others mah!
