Boring, stressful, lonely, tiring

lucky i came from two toughest jobs on earth
before i drive taxi
that is why i can tahan TD for 18 months with God's help
-
just for the record:
my rental with premier is $134 per day (i cover the rent every day, no rest)
jason's rental with Comfort is half of that
i completed 18 months (pause to re-assess the situation)
jason completed 5 weeks?

I 30 years driving, can tahan, what is 18mths???? Fully paid my HDB, 3 kids are grown up and finished University, wifey at home everyday play mahjong, 2 mistresses and 1 mattress (in case wife throw me out of the room) So, after 30 years, due to higher rental, now I drive i30 for silver, cheap, good and due to smaller size, can reject ah neh with many bags. Eng eng go st George koptiam hv a few bottles, life goes on. Today, if got young family to bring up, better dun drive anything, you might not even get a chance to see your kids finish U. If no family, no commitment, single and lazy type who do not like superior on top one, can try driving, be it taxi or UG.

$134 per day omo. You are driving for the taxi company to earn. Still got ppl do omo at such rates? No wonder taxi companies cannot reduce rental. Good money to earn. -

Nope. Not driving HDT taxi.

HIV driver, yes, we have, HDT....simi sai leh Hold Dick Team? At this time, still got people start Taxis company...

Ok ok... now I know what HDT stand for.
-
only happen to see a few on the road. think not so popular. Pax also not so sure their rates
-
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.

Oh, I thot it is Hold Dick Taxi. Singapore market today is saturated with supply of transport more than demand. Warren Buffet is a stock play cum manipulator, he earns his fortune thru churning the stock market, then sell it to leave those smaller investor high and dry. Other than that, he is just a supermarket boss, like seng siong

Got opposition from HK Taxi Drivers. But Sinkie taxi drivers are a disunited lot. Easy to manipulate and control.

i don't know what is the cause of Jason's giving up TD:
a) did not know how to drive a taxi; or
b) did not work hard enough to make ends meet
so which is the right answer?
-
I'm out of job soon, thought HDT is a good platform since you do not pay any rental/fuel and can gain experience 1st.
As long as you hit 7.5k fares collection, can get 3.2k excluding grab incentives.
Really sick of corporate world xxxxxing politics and bullies.

You out of job or the job out of you, if it is the job out of you, go find a job, dun give excuses that you are out of jobs, there are 89,000jobs available at MOM job banks and 35000 available at WDA, 20,000 at e2i, and about 40,000 available in open market recruitment agents. Taxis or HDT should be your last resort -
