Smlj one hole jump into another hole...you watch sadistic porn too match liao lah, limpek regret intro it to you. I have said a million times, as you all hv known, from the oil prices going south to Greece issue and Malaysia 1MB case, and the slow down of china economy + a low demand of commodities leading to price dropping, the Global economy is technical speaking on the brink of recession or in already in a technical recession. Australia is one affect as their business got lot to do with china economy, and today, you see AUS dollars is almost equal to sing dollars. Given such a backdrop, Singapore economy, which is very much expose to the global economy in the name of Globalisation will be affected, as such, people are now more conservatives, Locals are getting less bonuses, more wary of the spending Foreigners are worry about their future as retrenchment in some companies, from bank to oil to IT are doing it, and priorty is to repariate foreigners, therefore, they now, become thrifty, save more than spending. FTs, who had committed too much on buying asset in Singapore on loan, like condos, are now holding tight on the loan, and as property slide down under the cooling measures, they feel lost, so you see less call from Melvin park. Therefore, again, not that TDs are driving less, everyone in singapore are earning less, and when all are earning less, many become more hungry and yao, end up only the elite, ranger and commando survive, the rest like us, should start lower our target, if not, you might stress yourself more and end up at the new hospital called..Ng Teck Hong

Sunday day shift is the worst. Almost like public holiday. Up till 10am really very little customers.
-
Furthermore no morning peak-hour surcharge.
-
Saturday day shift also not so good. No morning peak-hour surcharge and not many customers in the morning.
-
Si lor, that is why most hirers like to rent their cab out on sat and sun, but weekend relief also clever, they will ask for lower rental, some hirers, knn neow chee neow lan, still want to charge $100 per day for a sonata..phuixxx, ask him to fly kite lah...or fly drone
-
Most reliefs would not want full day for weekend. Firstly they are less experienced and therefore cannot make enough to justify it. Secondly, they do not have the endurance to last 15 hours to justify paying extra for rental. You have to drive extra 2-3 hours just to pay for the extra rental, after that, how much energy do you have left to make extra money?
-
I saw some weekend relief use the cab to bring family to East Coast Park, better than renting a car. You dun worry about weekend relief, relief are actually much better off and energetic than full time driver, for them, it is to make extra income as they already got a steady income from their permanent jobs. Then at the same time, they need to balance family life, so most would tell their wifeys that they can use the cab on Sunday for outing and shopping, morning just make enough for the rental, the rest is free to use at 0.82/litre diesel only, where to find?

Not true at all. I've done Sunday day shift. Very early 6-7am , got calls and street pax - especially for church & sports. Sometimes got school events, community events, errands. After 8 am many pax on street.
-
Sunday morning got pax one. All the way till 8pm when it slow down until midnight. Still have but must drive further to find pax after midnight plus long queues of green lantern.
-
What I am saying is relative to weekdays. It also depends on where you are at. So what I usually do is take my lunch earlier than other days then chong all the way after the malls are opened on Sunday. So far, my worst earning day on the average is Sunday. Sunday almost no one going to work so a lot less customers in the early morning.
-
Hanor that's why Sat ,Sun give super relief drv.
-
I make more driving Sat & Sun nights then driving on weekdays except Friday. Weekends are very good for taxi biz and not so stressful because people are not rushing for appts, etc
-
Sat, Sun one not super relief....they are normal weekend reliefs....Super-reliefs are those that drive when people want to go for holidays. But very hard to find super-reliefs because most people would be working as full-time reliefs if they have the time to drive Mon to Fri.
Weekend reliefs also not easy to find as those who work Mon to Fri in other industries would not have the energy to drive during weekends. If they drive, which day do they rest?
-
But on the other hand, Sunday very good to drive...less cars and everywhere also can stop, parking are mostly free.
-
But some people liked to be super relief, flexible, anytime like to drv can drv.want to go holiday also anytime
-
If become super relief will make substantially less than regular relief and regular hirer. Probably only very old cabbies over age of 60 like to become super reliefs as they no longer want to drive long hours especially since they have less financial burdens.
-
Sala leh super relief is in demand hor
Try booking one then u will know lol
must book ahead wan bcoz their always fully booked
Must ask bro Reliefdriver4u he know better I assume
-
I know they are in demand but I also said it is hard to find them.
If I want to go off for 3 days say Mon-Wed, very difficult to find super-reliefs. Peak periods like Chinese New Year period even worse.

make more or less depends on the effort u put in , not because u are super or omo or day shift or nite shift
In taxi driving, time = money , if every day u put in maximum hour and effort during your shift , no need to drive every day oso can get decent income
super relief also can clock long hrs and earn those income, or clock minimum hours and earn $30 per day if they so desire, no body is pointing a gun at your head to dictate how u drive
Age of super relief not neccessary over age of 60, my circle of super relief friends range from 31 to 60 plus
