After driving these few days, notice some directional signs really cannot make it and confusing.

For instant, received a booking at old turf club, bukit timah. This is one confusing place. confuse
The "Taxi" sign is misleading... Take quite sometime to find that damn taxi stand outside the supermarket.
The taxi stand is at the center of the open carpark facing the race track....

after driving for some time, judge yourself if the booking is worth to accept. lets say if the distance is too far away, or you have to make a big de-route back, or the traffice is too heavy to make your way there, do not accept.

if you are driving for CDG, you may want to set your MDT to "Scheme B". calls will still comes in & under scheme B, you won't get the '1 hour no call penalty', no matter how many times you reject.

if you are not able to find the location fast enough, call the pax & ask them for the exact location. sometimes the MDT(i mean the operator :p) may not gives you a clear direction too.

don't let yourself feel stress over bookings & not able to reach the location within the timing. this can also endanger you on the road. take some time to 'absorb' ba. chill ;)
