Use health criterion to determine taxi lifespan
I TOOK a Toyota Crown taxi to the airport and felt nauseous by the end of the 20-minute trip due to the severe vibration of the vehicle ("Toyota Crowns exiting taxi scene soon"; last Saturday).
The driver said he was affected by the vibration too and could hardly walk straight by the end of each shift. But he had no choice as all new drivers were assigned this model.
The statutory lifespan of a taxi is eight years, after which it must be replaced. Are there other criteria, such as the drivers' health, to determine taxi lifespans?

not to mention, leaving your hand constantly on the gear shift will also give u the same effects
this is what I called motion Syndrome. Some of the paxs will vomit after the journey ended. So got some plastics bags on standby should they need.
Aiya, this one little effect only lah, knn, people use jacking hammer in yards for years also no problem, and those heavy duty trailer, more worst lor.
Is the author asking a out of spec question? Lifespan of taxis vs driver's health?
Please lah, everyone knows, nobody give a fark about TD health, once you are sick and useless, your are throw one side and let the society rot you, taxis can change mah, smlj lifespans also can
That's why I say, if taxi rental is cheap like Toyota Crown type, you think your income can double up?....
A taxi must be comfortable to drive with in order to prolong driving on the road....
And the pattern of driving also differ a lot with different kind of taxi....
