Example: I board taxi, then tell driver destination, then the driver start driving without speaking a word. Whole journey driver never speak at all.

Silent, silent lor, Once I took a silent driver, but the taxi engine very loud, reach already, I told him, you go long road, my usual trip fare is only $7. Your fare is $10, so I pay you only $7...see if he still silent or not?
This one depends on whether got traffic jam or not and whether he really took a longer route without asking which route to take. Very seldom short $7 route taxi drivers would take much longer way. $3 difference is $3.00/$0.22 * 400m = 5.4km (actually slightly less because certain portion charged at $0.22 per 350m).
If really taxi drivers fault, just settle on the spot and take $7 quickly proceed on to find next customer. Otherwise means mood for the whole day would be spoiled and maybe need Comfort to settle. 90% of customers would not care about less than $1 difference.

Originally posted by bowah:60point…knn Uber 100point leh. Somemore rental only $55…something is not right.
$55 rental means $55 cheaper than old Sonata.
But pump fuel at least $15 more....so $40 difference for a car that does not have insurrance for 4 passengers. Supposing one can collect $250 per 12 hours....but 20% must give Uber.....that means $50 additional to Uber.....so in the end still more worth it to drive taxi since $40-$50=-$10 difference. Somemore cannot street hail and cannot reject so totally depend on company for customers. Plus $55 car not as good as Comfort's Sonata in terms of stability, room-space and boot space and very likely all already snatched up by others so must rent the $70 type.
Only incentives (which are not guaranteed in the long run) temporarilly makes it seem like a good thing to join Uber. However, 94% of taxi drivers considered but did not make the move to join Uber.
This morning at around midnight I was told by one of my customers who was waiting at Marina Sands Bay (the queue was 100m long) that Uber also marked up the price to 3.x times its normal rate when he attempted to get a taxi. So would fetch customers who are very unhappy too.
Uber is only seems like 100 pts.
This cumming Airshow, no On-Call and private pick up allow......
Song bo? Über or Grab Neh Neh......
I fully support no private limo or taxi app usage at air show. Even as a former cabby, I found the presence of so many on-call taxi and private limos to be a complete nuisance and cause of traffic jam.
I hope they extend this to formula one as well. Ban all taxi/limo apps and taxi bookings. Just let those green lanterns come in and sweep the pax away.
