Thanks! Hopefully will gradually learn to drive smarter.
Need some advice.
When putting change shift and select destination, is it normal for the rootop sign to just show change shift instead of the destination. The purpose of selecting destination is it to give priority for call booking?
How come some call booking show the destination but some no indication? It only indicates Auto Booking.
i remember i was told tds can receive call booking alerts thru hp or apps. How to activate it?
Got booking press first decide later. I always do that. Then figure out how to get there. At most either get cancelled by pax. Pax now beri slow. Most of the time when you reach they still in the lift.
I never do booking for 1st 6 months.
So sweeping is my strength till now. No call wouldnt die hua.

you can experiment on this inside your car park. put change shift then look at the rooftop and see what it shows.
places where there are many taxi (long taxi Q):
west: jurong point taxi stand
east: airport
central: CBD (esp. MBS casino)
north: zoo
i hope you don't go there to get stuck in the long Q

U drive which company? If comfort, get call liao, just press the 'Map" button lor..GPS will guide you to pick up location. Of course, gps sometimes will bring you to horland like the back of the condo instead of the front.

Longest ETA high chance pax will cancel booking. Just press 2 mins lah.. let pax wait for you. Won't kill them. Time is money.
You have picked a wrong time to start driving taxi or phv. Cause this week is school holidays. So demand will be down for this week on weekdays. Weekend will pick up a lot as parents will rush to take kids out on their off days and pick up at all entry points into singapore will be PNG. Experiencing this short school holiday will give a taste of what to expect when June and end of year school holidays comes. My advice to u, just like kung-fu movies. To fight like tiger, think like tiger. To drive taxi think like passenger.

Yes. Hardly see students. All kena cbd area this morning.
I also wish to be a fighter but after 3 trips my mind naturally leads me to coffeeshop.
inside CBD becareful hor. alot of zig zag yellow lines, don't anyhow park or pick up pax.

Noted thks! Rather challenging to find a proper drop off point. Then make the pax walk far far, pax face black black. No tips.

CBD, during operation hours.. best is use taxi stand and wait for calls
Shenton way is full of tall buildings. Super confusing. I find the front view of i40 is quite low. Sometimes need to bend down to see those left green arrow.
Find 1 sunday drive into cbd and go through all the streets and buildings. Church st to pwc got shortcut. Dun gong gong follow gps n kena F by pax. Some building just ask pax to cross the road.
If 1 sunday not enough then 2 sunday or 3 sunday. If by 4th sunday still dun know u better just go AP and queue.
for puncture tyre
i ever saw one uncle driving a lorry and full of tyres behind his lorry, he drive around to change tyre for vehicle owners.
i don't have his HP no. but i suggest you search for such services and bookmark the contact number just in case you need it.
