1 Oct - 15 pax

Went to loyang for 1st inspection @ 1645. Guided by bluenuts, gotta enter the workshop, instead of joining the queue for pumping diesel. Went to counter to ask , told to go team 3, but team 3 says warranty go team 5. Signed and hand car keys to team 5. Car ready about 20-30mins later. Topped up diesel before i left loyang.

Exiting loyang got a pax going to balestier road....he choosed TPE/SLE...to avoid jam.

Highest Fare ever.....lost my way...
After that pax reach i got pax 2 kids , mother and maid.
Trip start 1844
Trip End 2020
From upper thomson road to tampines st 83.

Cant recall wat roads=blah blah..
Upp thomson...blah blah>AMK ave 1>CTE city..
About to enter PIE changi, pax saw heavy traffic to PIE changi, told me go by TPE...
Exit Braddell .....and missed the turn to BKE/SLE .....turned right instead.....then saw thomson/amk and lornie....choosed lornie and back to PIE...then CTE/SLE...somewhere along saw TPE and entered.....then dunno how entered kg java and lost ......then back to BKE/SLE and went all the way to mandai exit.....then back to lentor ave and back to SLE then found TPE....then all the way to , exit by tampines ave 10 requested by pax....then eventually tampines ave 5 then st 83.....

Fare : 46.40
ERP : 1.50
Peak Hour 35% : 13.10

I told pax dont worry about the fare , just pay what they think is fair...since i already make a big mistake and wasted their time.

Pax said usually only 15-20, gave me 20.

Although i feel it wont be 20 at peak hour, but seems i am already at the losing side....accepted the 20 and apologise for their time.

Just to check......15-20 from upper thomson can reach tampines st 83 during peak hours around 1844h?

After that highest fare pax ~ 61 ....but only pay 20 from upper thomson to tampines st 83...

1st Give up

I got a pax along new upper changi road.....he say bedok north road blk 83.....found bedok north road, cant find blk 83.....asked pax where, he dunno, checked street directory , also cannot see blk 83 near bedok north road....told pax gonna drop him along the road wont charge him, he said ok. Fare is 5.40.

Perhaps my confidence had been shattered badly from previous trip.....cant find blk 83 along bedok north road.....anyone knows is there blk 83 around bedok north road?

ya bro, u r correct. there's no blk 83. from blk 82 jump to blk 84 liao.
shd juz let him alight near bus-stop in front of blk 85 and COLLECT your fare.

Hi Ace,
If you had a Garmin GPS just key in 83 when you are in the bedok North area It will show you how to get there and guide you by the correct approach so your pax dont have to run across the road. Of course yo have to set the gps unit to navigate by the shortest route.wink

bro, i think $20 is reasonable fare if u go by correct way.
from upp thomson, go northbound can hit SLE, then con't to TPE and exit
tampines ave 10, continue to st 83. this way, i think $20 should be reasonable.

Recently went to marina south and saw some constructions going on, i cant seem to find the place where it used to be...while scouting the area, i saw board showing Marina Barrage.
When i was about to leave the area, got a call booking from 8 Marina Barrage carpark, didnt know where it is,gps have no data either, but with the mdt mapping system, I reached the spot where the mdt shows.

It was 3am ,about few minutes later, a lady and a security guard walked towards me. The lady who booked the cab got into my taxi....i asked her, what is marina barrage, she says it was just a scenic view, where u can see sg flyers from here. The lady thanked me when she reached her destination.
