I can do better than that .
Start as Full Shift ? Not a good idea actually , as far as phobia is concern .
I had reached a level that i am really scared of driving . Scared of touching the sterring wheel even .... so .
so you found another job?
wa i always tot you are the most solid cabby around...why u quit?

Go around Sg ? Hahaha ....Not like that la ..... my own experience .
Start off as a day shift driver , probation yourself 3 month to master the pattern and customers from the day shift . Find a way to adept as quickly as you can for day shift , the demands , the jams , the rain , the heat , the taxi stands , the shorter routes , the commercial buildings , the housing area etc .... I am so sure in 3 months , solid self training , a set of self-creation training , u can master the art of driving day shift .
Then create another self training programmes for another 3 months , to drive 5pm onwards shift til midnights .... discovered new type of night-goers customers , demands of different locations inside town or CBD , the bus lanes , the pricing differences betweeb cbd and outside cbd , the surcharges ..... familiarised with the fare structures etc .... the night clubs , pubs .... shopping centres etc ...many more .
Meaning in 6 months ..... u master both shifts , which % of cabbies does that ?
In long run .... any shift any day , anytime .... u can adept to the changes that u sometime required .
Advantage ? U figure out yourself .
