This happened a few days ago: Location: Plaza Singapura. Pax: Caucasian lady Destination: Plaza By The Park Time: 11.00am When pax boarded my cab, 1st thing she said was "uncle, very sorry, only a very short trip". I replied that it's okay and the fact that she's taking a cab means she's supporting our trade. Arrived destination in less than 5 mins. She paid me $10/- and wished me a good day. Of coz, i thanked her and wished her a good day too. $10/- for a job less than 5 mins!!!
