I olso sometime approach people at hospital ICUs, mostly near ICU toilets at NUH and SGH, but I wear white T. Then when see the staff nurse of hospital security, quickly go into the toilet

No need 17hrs lah, seibei Cannon one, estimate 15hrs, 17hrs can up my van/lorry very fast one.

Amazing! My total working hours for two days.

In taxi driving, want to make money, once sit inside, prepare to sit for 6 hrs, of cos must go for toilet break lah, after 6hrs, take a lunch break, then go for another 6hrs, then dinner break, then if need to carry on or OMO, drive another 3 to 4 hrs, particular now, need to drive a bit longer due to PHV competition. But if you every 2-3hrs stop and have long break or kopitam sian like me, then prepare to get low income, for me $30 net one,...1 hrs, stop and eat one time.

Cannot drive In such way for every single day. 嫌命长？

Why you want to clock 500km per day? Most if not all TDs set a monetary target lah. Once target hit, keep liao. Like our bro bowah..only $30 nett. smlj 500km? Unless you want to impress LTA.
You want weekends off, you need to chiong weekdays to earn more to cover weekend rental if you OMO.
Bowah sifu will say all these are rubbish lah. 13 CBD quality pax can liao.

17 hrs total lah including meal and toilet breaks. Our Minister already said that taxi driving is tough work and taxi drivers need the money, the revenue, to feed their families.

Any joy u guys find from being a td? ... besides mini skirts.
-
It's a job that puts food on the table. Whether find joy or not depends on individual. Some can drive for 30 years, some only for a day. The thing that stops you from enjoying it is your own ego. Better throw it out when you become a TD. Must see open.

Only joy is when reach target n can go home
-
so same like most people looking forward to knock off everyday.

That joy only last for 1 hrs, the rest 22hrs comprises of 8hrs sleeping, 2 hrs resting and eating, then, again another 12hrs of hell -
Everyday is my payday. earn enough keep. need more cash drive for couple hrs more.

Have you guys consider switching to work as delivery driver since you all have good road knowledge?
-
For me, everyday, wake up, is a liability day, and all profit is only accrued profit till realization and most of the time, the real market value is below the KPI no matter how low you set and budgeted. Nevertheless, I will take whatever profit gain, not a payday

Delivery driver no need route knowledge lah, everyday same old trips, close eyes also can drive. Most TDs are also former delivery drivers, some even trailer and crane drivers, however income at that time is not so attractive as taxi drivers, and also life not so colorful as taxi driver. Recently, I was at west gate jurong east eating ice cream, a guy came and talk to me "Uncle, are you working, do you need a job, $10 per hr for driving kiddies train" .....Nabey -
Can i say most still prefers to remain as td despite complaining alot?

Kiddie train driver is best reserved for kids or teenagers. $10 hourly is good money for sec school kids. Uncle Ringo wake up your idea pls.
