Yeah very true, got many sites that hv ppl complain abt taxi drivers.

You see the mentality (honestly I would adopt the same attitude too if I wasn't a driver), that a) when I want a cab - the cab must come. If the cab don't come - means TD are skivving or as mentioned earned so much already.

Worse when flag, they don't stop, means also very good business. With the press reports and all the online rubbish, everyone things Tds are doing fine and earning big bucks.

But as a driver, we all know why we have to avoid certain pax, certain trips and certain locations, and it has nothing to do with us earning tons. We do it to cari makan and what we have to, in order to survive as a TD.

As you mentioned very correctly in an earlier post, all this whether pax get a cab, CBD zone, calls etc, all this not your concern. Your concern is to drive according to your ability and method and earn what you have to earn. The rest not really your business.

And I agree fully.

Not our job to solve the issues of shortage of taxis or whatever. The authorities and companies never think of us first when they implement policy. They think of themselves, to look good and impress Ministers (LTA), to make a profit (companies) and maybe then about pax. We are always last on the list.

So why we bother so much is a mystery. We should just do what we have to as you said.

But I think my earlier reply as to why we won't have FT TDs, is quite logical. PAP will never introduce policies that are vote losers, especially after losing so many votes the last time round.
