Ehem... OMO no life?? Then it must be my spirit talking in here....

I work 12-14 hrs a day (additional 5 hrs on Fri & Sat), 6 days week, Sun perm off. Average income per hour is $20-24 (excluding peak hour). Average income per day $100-120 (Fri & Sat about $220) That's after deducting my rental of $104 & fuel of about $70-90.

And the best is I work when I feel like it... dun have to let gahmen know how much I earn... no big headed bosses to begin with.... can use taxi like my own car, dun feel like taking pax can just drive past....

Camry Limo, S22 to 24 hour is for very experienced cabby's fare?

I hear the average is below $20, except for peak hours then above $20.

akuma13, where to pickup fares now? for day shift, thank you.

called Lily again, says I have to put $1k so that I can see any hirer online looking for relief...
