  Then Initial lor, talk is free mah, free networking, why not? As TD, must learn to act stupid, blur blur, then you learn a lot from pax, let pax show their ego and pride, you just nod and reply yes, true, correct, exactly, you are right, etc etc, all the positive words and sentences, end up, mostly pax very happy, and my theory of happy pax equal happy driver apply, and the chances of tips or keep the change will be higher, but after pax dropped off, its history, forget about her or him.

  HDT are taxis.  But their rates are slightly higher than normal taxis. $3.90 flag down and $0.25 tariff.

  They are fully electric vehicles (not hybrids).  Currently on trial in Spore.  That's why RD plates.

  In order to expand their trials, using taxis would be the best option cos of high mileage.  So HDT go apply and got taxi licence lor.

  They start with about 50 taxis, hope to increase to 200.

  Because they are fully electric, each taxi requires 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs charge time and there are not many charging stations yet in Spore.  Therefore it does not make sense to rent out their taxis like normal taxi companies.  So have to employ taxi drivers and pay a basic salary so that the downtime for charging and the inconvenience is at company's cost.

  HDT is a subsidiary of BYD (Build Your Dream), a Shenzhen based company making electric cars and batteries, where Warren Buffet is an investor.

  Jason should go apply to drive HDT.

   

  Hi, I'm new to taxi charges in SG and intrested to know more about how HDT charge rides on its electric taxis. On Its website, they are quoting fixed fares excluding additional surcharges like ERP, waiting time, etc... http://www.hdt.com.sg/services/taxi/

  Not dirty lah, just helping the economy. Because I like bak bak, so bak bak will fly to Singapore, so driver got chance to ferry bak bak and earn better fare with less or faster Q, then also bak bak will spent here, Singapore also can gain from the Gst and other taxes and so on, win win for all
