why he can turn but u cannot???

Public Bus had increase by nearly 900 on the road, there will be more congestion and more buses, and we, as TDs, must be careful, as some of their drivers are very new, but sadly, by putting more buses into to road, our frog face former Transport Minister, Ah lui end up having to resign. Kenna cam taken on bus lane during bus operational hr, still can appeal if you are the first timer, but if kenna ninjitsu (LTA employed Malaysia Ninja) on the road side taking you...very hard to appeal even if you are the first timer.

Motorists who make unauthorised U-turns can be fined up to $1,000 or jailed three months if charged and convicted in court.
The maximum penalty is doubled for recalcitrant offenders.
For speeding, the maximum fine is $200 and drivers can also be given 24 demerit points. Offenders may also be prosecuted in court.

Copy the rules and stick it on the cab back seat...then everytime pax request for an illegal U turn, show it to them.

So kena caught is I think is $130..... not quite worth it to violate.
well, if a TD went to pick a pax in bus lane operating hours, and later gets a fine, the TD will find its not worthwhile and will not do it anymore.
sometimes, its better to be safe than sorry. how much is a fare worth as compared to the possibility of a traffic violation fine??

Ya loh, kena one time fine $130 can play 4D for 43 weeks. Would have something to look forward to 3 times every week other than meal time to break the monotony of taxi drivers job.

yalor, $130 can call 2 x bak baks leh, still can hv a nice pig organ soup at lavender.

Right, $130 can do all four ��嫖赌 like a real 贪狼.

Lanjiao lah, $130 no big leh, nowaday in Singapore, you go out on yr off day only, bila bila $100++ gone liao. This is the true living in SIngapore, and if call bak bak + booking+ eating and soliciting..$200 may not be enough. Therefore, the opportunity cost lies in each individual, just like you can choose to PCC or call one nice bak bak woman, that different in cost is from 0 to few hundred dollars. And in economic, that determine yr saving. Some TDs earn $5k per month, but still like me, want to borrow here and there. Some TDs earn $3k per month, but happy happy and easy going in life

Some TDs earn $3k per month, but happy happy and easy going in lifeMia hiam still enough......cheapest Geylang, two bottles of beer, $1 or $3.50 4D or Toto and one 煮炒 meal.
If 天时地利人和 time (but very difficult), still can win money.

4000 buses in Singapore or 80% of the fleets are equipted with cameras to catch bus-lane violators ( http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/onboard-cctv-cameras-help-keep-bus-lanes-clear ). Really not worth the risk. If average taxi fare $13, then in 10 attempts kena caught 1 time all the earned money goes to LTA.

Yalor, work and drive hard...chiong here, chiong there, then end up, earning go into govt coffer, not worth. Better use it for family outing or makan at sakura..ahem

More likely not true because normally tickets take at least 1 month to arrive. By then, new government already formed.

yalor, scali you vote them, then end of the month tio 2 letters...that time kan the govt until cry also no one pity you. Gentlemen, Politicians, be it ruling or opposition are dirty people, these people can sell your soul, eat yr physical body and rule your mind. Never trust them entirely. You might not know, all these politcians could be meeting up at kopitiam la kopi laughing at us.

Now I see tp busy escorting the top ppl here n there only leh

I only know now PAP has yet to promise not to increase GST after election unlike in 2011 election. If after election increase GST to 10%, taxi rental would go up and possibly fuel price would go up.
-
Don't know why this time they dont announce would not increase GST. If don't announce, people more sceptical about them and support rate sure drop below 60% and could even drop below 55%. They can forget about getting a strong mandate.

Just heard from one of the election rallies (Singaporeans First Rally) that the Singapore government just opened up a previously only Singaporean industry to foreigners ( property agent sector ) despite there being no shortage of Singaporeans willing to work in that industry.
It is sign that our industry may be opened up to foreigners soon despite PAP government saying they only open up sector for jobs that Singaporeans do not like to take up.
And this is despite us having very competitive fares relative to other developed countries.
So be prepared for unnecessary competition and wage stagnation in the future.

Why need to increase GST and makes everyone unhappy, just increase the prices, the cost of living, GST will increase automatically. You think the govt stupid si bo? taxi companies just increase rental prices only, GST goes up liao.

U-Turn? What U-Turn? Sorry no U-Turn without U-Turn sign.
Other Taxis do it why can't I? My apologies to know of that other Taxi Drivers offering you this "special service" but doesn't mean it applies ot me as well. Thank you very much for your kind understanding. You may write to LTA or my company regarding this matter if you wish to have clarifications. (U-Turn without U-Turn Sign, Stopping or alighting at Bus Lanes etc etc etc)

Driving must be smart, if there is no U turn, turn into a car park, turn out again lor, or do a 3 pts turn, not consider U turn hor

So True. One must be smart to do U-turns in an innovative manner! :)

But many TDs dunno why alway want to let TP or warden summon them, tampines 81, go toilet break and going to close shop and put fuel at Bedok north 4 Go buy a packet of kopi, many just park along the road, tio summons, cry until no tears, just drive into the carpark with a grace period of 10 minutes also dunwan, haiz, drive so hard and tired, give ah kong $70-$100 for fark? Altho SMART is no more, taxi drivers must still be smart, on the road, never play hero, we already paid so much for rental + gst, try yr best not to contribute to them anymore.

"Car park lai liao!!!".......
Stand up one 99% TD.......
