As per my teaching, you all already learned and knew that 10 TDs, 10 assholes, live 2 rooms, said live 5rooms, live HDB said live in condo, live in condo said live in landed property, live n landed property said live in bungalow, live in one storey bunglow said live in 3 storeys bungalow…but the truth is, at the end of the day, we will go back to ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Everyday, you go kopitiam after the peak period, can see all these TDs boosting all the way, ...if you are young drivers, you get mesmerized, if you are drivers like me or my good brother taxilim or keepthechange…you dunno want to laugh or cry.
After all the kopitiam talk until got dragon got tiger, bird from tree can come down type..then start engine, see pax.."Good morning sir, where to?".. life goes on...
pls be prepared for tis.

How many times i need to mention that i dont need an income from driving but i require a car. Uber offsets all my driving costs by driving few hours a day so why not. Treat it as therapy. I have other sources of income.
Updates. After 1 over month of being on private apps.
Now earning more than previously driving taxi with lesser hours clocked on the road. Which I meant serious and really driving on the road. More time to relax and do other things.
Uber I bring back more than 1K a week with incentives. Very relax kind of driving. Just need to understand their system, study the map and analyze the timetable given for guaranteed hours. Total hours clocked for real driving only about 25 a week. Aim short unlike taxi you aim long unless in CBD. Many ways to play. The rest is spent time waiting to clock in time or relaxing, drinking coffee, reading a book, surfing net in the car etc. Uber is about driving smart and not long. Make full use of the system in place. Just drive minimum to clock the trips and disappear somewhere isolated to clock in the time online for incentive payout. Very good. Better than driving taxi around like a headless chicken as if no pax = no fare. Apps you wait also get money and many private relax jobs for aka limo service whom book you on personal basis. Best.
I dont know what other income sources u have, but I do know that if we focus our hearts on a primary business, it should generate sufficient income and there is no need to worry about any sidelines.
People with many sidelines each contributing a few hundred to 1k every month, actually end up spending more time and brain juice (sang nao jin).
If u like private apps, do it full time. If u find your sideline more lucrative, focus on that and dump private taxis.
Life is short, give your best to the one profession u love, and forget about the rest.
I got many talents. I also can have many many sidelines. If u want to do a few things at once, make sure they are all related.
Drive pirates can earn lah. But dunno how long it will last. As long as one side toh the other side incentives will cut. So in the long run taxi stills more stable. I dun understand why TD kpkb there is a drop in income? I dun face this problem be it weekdays or weekends. Anyway I think what kind of drivers uber and LCR are those part timers. Those who needs a car and have a full time job. Imagine by driving just 2 hours after work you can easier cover most of the rental. Says you lose $30 a day in rental, one month $900. You get a brand new car with all the taxes and insurances and maintainence taken care of. Consider this amount of money can't get you a car nowadays so why not? And those into properties and insurance sales it suits them well.
But seriously to earn a living it is rather difficult. Although cost is low for the rental. But the levies and fuel cost are high. So the more you drive the lesser you will get because the high levies and fuel cost already negate your takings but for taxis the more you drive the collections you get which you dun have to pay levies and diesel cost is cheap. So very easy to cover the rentals for pirates but can't earn big money.

That day I went to their office, the young chio bu said, now only got 10 cars, asked me to apply first and wait, then she asked me how old, I told her $60 still got some change, she said the management prefer 50 yo and below one, I told her, this is discrimination of employment and it is an offence.
Then she (chio and younger than those CDG lau kuay bu dro) said, no no, uncle, it is not discriminating, because this new set up is very high tech, and way of charging electricity, fares and charges are all digital and need some IT savy in it, so if you are older and unable to cope with the new tech, then it will be a very stressful for you.

1k per week with incentives is before deducting 20% uber commission and rental? or after deduction?

Knn big canon fairy. 1k is before deducting rental lah. Uber incentives cover morning peak 3 hours from mon to Thurs. So 4 days drive 12 hours only...senang Fri, sat n sun burned as Uber driver...so relax meh?? Knn lopsided hours if u work for Uber driving incentives hours. Drive 25 hours per week earn 1k....tan ku ku.... Somebody post in Uber forum he got into an accident driving LCR car....4 to 5k penalty ...only one authorised workshop to repair n of course they quote. Downtime rental still must pay hor....
That driver say what you believe. I am also driving for them but what I mentioned herr you dont believe. Hence you only want to believe what you want to believe. Then why bother to dispute?
In any industry, there are both good and lousy performers. Not everyone think and work the same way. Just like in taxi driving, there are some earning 7-8K a month and some 2-3K a month driving the same bloody cab.
