they stand by to relief.
Bro, scared more ppl coming into this trade hah... I more worry that FT can come into this trade...��
you're in which field?
Job market is not weak.......
Today, either you bite bullet and tong in the coy or depend on your own network to venture out......
Even job interview is how siao one, 100 applicants go apply, ended up the one tio employed is someone they know one......
Don't ever think that our job all taken up by FT, most HR department very scare of MOM ruling also......
A lot of FT got to take queue number waiting at their own country, hoping another FT in the coy tio sent back.......
Network la, no network, no job......

The market is bad, just that the govt is trying to massage the figure aka GDP to keep it alive, oil price is down, middle east chaotic situation, terrorism, low demand from consumer, slow growth in major economy like US and China, all these are sign of bad times, but certainly not a melt down.
As oil price decline, Oil and Gas and even Marine are taking the brunt of it, thousands will be retrenched by all these MNC in Marine, Oil and Gas market including offshore, these will more or less effect all other industrial, from financial to F&B to transportation like Taxis and many others.
As such, many will look for temporary alternatives, the bulk that hold TVDL for years but yet to drive may enter the market, and we might see more and more taxis, private apps cars on the road to compete each other.
However, Singapore, with it strong pillars, usually is able to take the downturn hard on, for the past years recession, we are still able to cope and also did well on the coping and better when the upturn arrived.
As for taxi drivers, dun worry, in a global downturn, many will flock into Singapore looking for $$, as most countries will tends to suffer more and many get retrenched. Coupled with the ever increase of population here, TD will still able to make a living, AP will still be busy and people travelling around this city will still prevail and active. Just that with more cabbies and apps pte drivers, each of us may get a little less share of that enlarged pie

hard truths,they see u being associated with bad, unfortunate things
Truth is FT alrdy invaded taxi market thro Uber n Grab.
Yes. Market is bad with more private drivers but taxi drivers still as talk big as ever. Still got idiots come tell me they earning 7K to 10K+ a month especially those bluetec drivers whole day with the walkie-talkie. Still got so many jobs floating around? Uberx has killed them.
Pass midnight you still see those black cars and bluetec roaming around town you know how bad their limo market is already.

Haha v true n add kimgu to the list too
I still wonder why they still wana drive tis premium cabs wen times are bad?
Got face mah. They think more superior than sampans mah. More class. Can wear crisp white shirt, black pants and vest. Some even wear tie. More like waiter. Alot of these bluetec drivers got go sian China nightclub hostesses and singers 1. See so many of them eating supper at Chinatown area parking the damn bluetec with roof eating with their China flings.
They haven't get totally killed by the rental and market yet. But this is for sure a rough period for them. Boody hell, after midnight still go queue at hotels waiting for ghosts.
Many of these limos are OMO. When you see them, you can tell that they drive until their hair all dropping and balding just to maintain the vehicle and shit. Worth it meh?
Sampan laughing at limo?.......😳😳
Many of them park at kopi shop also got money intake, you all laugh?.......
I only know those eh sai one, learn from them, those beh sai one, don't need to know......
PM me if got doubt, I can give you all the names and vehicle number, you can go check true or not.......
Dun anyhow say limo earn no money. Even though limpeh quit driving taxi. I still got an ongoing limo biz from years ago. Here and there got 10hr disposals at current cdg rates. Now dec season, got many sixty or seventy cent transfers. None of my pax give uber or grab a fuck. When it comes to airport departures n corporate jobs, for some reason people still prefer a personal touch, they still want an operator to speak to.
What one of my limo buddy makes in a day, is no joke one. Say out u also wont believe. So better dun say. People like us got no time for reporters, everyday just busy siew lui, stay low profile n stay out of trouble.
Dun misunderstand, all the jobs are paged out to taxis n pa ong chia. Limpeh dont depend on this for a living.
Okay. What you mentioned makes sense. But why after midnight still got so many limos queuing at airport, hotels, nightspots and roaming around town with green lantern?
What i am saying is that for every job, there would be outliers. The cream of da crop exist. Even for sampans there are those earning high 4 digits to 5 digits. Even for lawyers and doctors there would also some earning peanuts and some mountains.
But for sure with all these private limos the taxi limos pie would surely be shrinking. You tell me a conti car look better and more presentable with roof or without.
Limo can earn alot. We should propose our universities to open a 3 year limo degree course to train and teach future limo drivers on customer relationship and procurement, service, manners, grooming, foreign languages and road familaries so that they are better prepared. Come out can start earning 10K a month and above.
Many green lanterns does not mean everyone also got no pax. Its like opening a hawker stall. Neighbour stall always got long queue. My stall got very few. Ren bi ren, qi shi ren.
Our limo business has changed since grab and uber came in. Some adjustments were needed. For sure we got affected. But there will always to pax. Just like fishing. No more fishes coming up the hook? Maybe u need to change the location, the hook size, the fishing line length, fishing hook depth or maybe the bait must change.
No use opening a school. All the skills are public knowledge. It is whether you got the right combination of determination, knowledge and attitude to pull it off. Most importantly, do you like this biz?
If we suceeded, it was not overnight. It takes many many tries and I had to switch so many partners over the years. Taxi biz got many many taiko. Many unreliable people. Many who want money but got zero discipline. Want money but late for pickup. How can they ever earn more than a cleaner? Drive for 10 years still net around $50 a day. These people got the wrong attitude, lazy, arrogant but keep thinking they deserve a better life.

Any rules to say limo cannot queue airport,hotel , nightspot? limo also got meter right?
so if queue means walk no?
