After dropping pax at T1 Changi airport, went to queue at T2....not too sure where to go, followed a taxi infront of me....he stopped by the toilet as he see a taxi there, then realise that taxi is not queueing, so we moved on......so we move towards the part with 2-3 U turns, although there are no taxis there...but he followed the path.....then suddenly came 3 taxis, directly cut infront of us, by just making a left turn towards the end......i dunno if we are stupid or they are too smart....wah lao.....no taxis there, can directly make a left turn towards the taxi queue? See 2 dumbass circling around the path when the taxi queue isnt there, and overtake them, the feeling must be damn shiok lol.....Actually i buay tahan......but the taxi infront of me can loon....ok lor, no choice gotta accept it....

Question : No taxi queues on that 3-U turns, if u see 2 taxis circling there, would u cut the path and go directly to the taxi queue, or wait for them since they are ahead first?

Bro Ace, like tat oni you buay tahan, how can?
Though they cut que is not nice but hey, i believe you learn a valuable lesson from it right?
Sometimes we do give way and wait for you guys to finish your F1 circuitthen join you guys from behind, but ask yourself, if the next time you go into T2 taxi que and realise no taxis queing, do you still go for your F1 run?
Just 3 taxis cut in front of your que but you learn something that you'll never forget from now on, cheap liao lah...
With this bad experience, the next time you happen to see other ppl doing F1 stunt, it will be good that you wait for them to finish their show and join them from behind.

Ya..Shell was having a promotion y'day - $1/- per litre.
All over the island, wherever there's a Shell station, there will be a jam.
The worst was the one at Moulmein Rd, the jam went all the way to CTE.
These pte car drivers, juz to save a few dollars, caused so much inconvenience to other road-users.

bro kk may be your wife just search terminal and time range, better dun trust total number flights bcos many are alliance. check arr time and belt also see if delay or not. 17 flights colud means 4 plus one delay. somemore plane not full thats why take so long.

Almost anytime, the airport always filled up with queue...too many Airport TUs.....especially T1....u see the queue outside the road, puts u off from queueing liao.....logically thinking, when u send a pax going to the airport terminal, there is going to be a flight arriving soon, as the plane that is goind to depart is going to take the pax, so all flights are scheduled, so there wont be any empty planes going elsewhere without single pax...

Anytime also got taxi queueing, T1 is the most supported queue, i havent been much to T2/BT and never been to T3 yet. Not too sure about the situation. BT got indicated 3 timings of flight arrivals, so u can judge if u want to queue, there rest i not too sure, i do hope to know if there are any arrival timings we can have a glimpse similiar to BT......

Today got a funny pax, abt 50+......i dunno where he want to go....cant make out what he say, he assured to direct me the way, thruout the journey, he did not utter a word, he only point towards the direction when going to make turn, i always ask turn left/right? Then he will point, i gotta turn my head to see where he point....but got one part, i slowed down at the center as he did not direct me, the Left(PIE) , Right(Bedok Reservoir rd), i almost came to a complete stop then he point towards right, and i continued to move on.....finally reached a market place then he drop off near a bus stop....I still find it rather amusing he didnt utter a word at all on giving directions lol.....

Picked up a Pax near Maxwell market around 1100h, he say go Tuas Raffles Marina.....i was quite confused where exactly he wanted to go....he was in a hurry and say hope to reach in 20mins....he would direct me where to go, make a left turn to Tg Pagar Rd, and head towards AYE-Tuas after a U-turn at keppel rd....went all the way towards the West end of AYE-Tuas, exited at Tuas West Dr, saw a place named as "Raffles Marina"....didnt managed to reached in 20mins, but did it within 30mins.....after that i checked street directory, wanted to find out where the Tuas Checkpoint taxi stand, drove up the flyover and headed to Tuas Checkpoint, but got directed out by the officer to U-turn back towards City.

Was cruising along Hougang @ 0800h , and wanted to go pee, then suddenly got call booking to go Hougang ave 8, pressed 5mins, and reached, i was thinking to relieve myself after i finish this trip. When pax got to my taxi, she say go 3 destinations, Yishun, Jurong West then Jurong Island....i was like....****...should have go pee first.....when we are about to reach the first destination, i asked if pax in a hurry, she said no, i asked if i could go to the toilet, she say fine. Another 2 girl got in at Yishun, and i stopped the meter and went to nearby a coffeeshop to relieve myself. Then after that, we are headed towards Pioneer MRT to let one of the girl drop off, but after exiting Pioneer Rd north, was told to turn right, and landed in NTU, 1 girl drop off, and U-turn back out, and go Jurong west st 73, another girl got in again. 1 girl dropped off at the main road after we left the carpark area, she was having problems and called the securities if she was allowed to enter jurong island, but she lost her passport few days ago so she wasnt able to get in, she dropped off and headed towards the police post near Jurong west st 73. Then we headed towards Jurong island, the 2 girl went to change pass, and i was told not to stop my taxi by the pass area, told to make a U-turn and drive into the Carpark near to the Pass office, and by the time, i park my taxi at a lot....i saw a girl wanted to take my taxi, she was so happy that she found a taxi....i waved to her, No......then my pax got out of the pass office, i saw them, and waved them. They got in and we are now headed towards Sembcorp in Sakra Ave....At Sembcorp security, they used their Pass to change for Pass, and asked me to move in further up.....finally reached 0944h.....this is the longest journey i ever did and Fare is $60. Similar to the other time i lost my way, but this time i earned it!!!

bro, i don't think the pax is funny but rather u got a dumb(eh-kao) pax.
how can he communicate with u if he cannot talk except by using sign language.
the 1st time i got a dumb pax, she showed me her destination on a piece of paper
and the last time i got dumb/deaf pax, he showed me his destination on his handphone.
