When i first started out in may... Started out sat night... Peak hrs n midnight surcharge ok able to earn.. Then also drive weekday .. Wah $$$ take longer to earn... Never take calls... Street pick up.. Imagine only 3pm hit $100 gross... Really cmi... Super Noob dat time...
Day and night shift always the reversal..........
While night drivers claim all the taiko destination and to stay in CBD the best, day drivers is the other way round.........
Of course it relates to the pattern of Sg life style.........morning go work, evening go home.......very standard.......
Currently, we pay rental, we do what we want........rental is bigger than any buffalo wheel........
To get CDG to reactivate destination shown like last time..........provided their strong fleet of drivers all boycott their calls..........hahaha
Call booking is no big deal, not only the amount, it's the behavior
People will do a call booking when there isn't sufficient supply of Taxi, out of common way, so taking up the job with that little extra, the time taken to travel there and risk of no shown, is who helping who?
I take call booking as a bonus, my routine does not put call booking as a priority. I will not be lure into it for that little extra. i will take the call only
1) Convenience, is along the way
2) time taken is faster then my prediction of next pax
At low demand of Taxi period, area..... don't be happy when their is a call booking...... very like you will get a NO SHOW, which is rather TuLan.
Call booking from whichever Taxi Company is not under my consideration.
Originally posted by bowah:And also, I noticed that our chief alway give good commend on the taxis company he newly joined, from former cdg to TC, he will say very good this and that, but the end is after he left the company, he always fark them.. fark type company lah, CMI company lah...this is his usual style, if you know him well, he is like this one lah, but he do not mean it by the heart.
However, for silver, it is quite unusual for him to give bad remark, because he is still driving it, so, to conclude, I believe their call is damn bad.
I started from silver, I never take their calls
Actually i dun actually started a special thread to condemn their call system , someone did , i add what i know .
Only if Premier has got a bigger pool of callers , they will be better .
Anyway , they are currently more suitable for my driving style than others so far .
Cos i can chose a job at Tuas to CBD during near off peak period .
They are the only one currently only one who reveal destinations to drivers .
Ruined by some drivers who bidded the jobs without even hearing the destinations .
Very sadly so , once 6pm , Premier calls at Tuas can be all the way Zero .
It shows that their customers are those who called CDG dun have then call Premier one .
Well , it will take sometimes for customers to fully aware that Premier can pay by NETS afterall .
It is NETS to why most are calling in for Comfort .
If given a choice , most will not call a Comfort knowing the rest can be faster than Comfort to arrive .
Only because those customers are not aware that Premier can use NETS .
And the Premier also make no effort to publish in paper to inform commuters about their recent exercise in upgrading their cashless paying system .
and well if base on current trend .... i guessed street pick + good connections can be as lucratives than taking calls .
i gave a 7/10 for their CSA service and response .
Not actually totally condemning their calls or totally shut them down .
In fact , i think not many here know how CDG , TransCab and Premier call system works altogether .
If i dun say ..... who will say ?
In fact , all same lah , hidden destinations quite possible it's a tai ko .
So CDG good ? I just need 2 trips to woodlands after 8pm and my night is chui chui .
And Comfort taxis hghly possible will get one . All thanks to Comfort .
Transcab calls used to be good until they hide the destinations like CDG .
So for me which is the best ?
Answer : LakeView is my ultimate solution .
Some might say LakeView also no destinations for some hotel jobs .
But the good thing is ....i want go woodlands from Lake View calls also very hard to get .
Go Airport alot .....
Also according to my LV colleague LV126 , SMRT calls also scary one .
So looked like all taxi coy their calls quite the same one .
so far right now i still not sure who actually employ those call centre Tele Operators of Premier .
Many Philipinos and Malays , from slang , very little Chinese and Indians .
I dun think Premier actually employed them .

Take me as a critic , or a taxi bug in taxi industry .
I dun create a forum to say "yes sir" to taxi company .
Or praise taxi companies even if they are idiots .
Then there shouldn't be any forum at all !
I am here to gather , or share informations .
That is why Internet is graded as IT , INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY .
As for the KIA headlights issues .
It's not Premier's fault , i'll blame it on the hirer !
Cos the hirer drive OMO day , does he care about what's happening at night ?
No lah fuck , sunset he also set , set to go home .
I told him when i first drove the vehicle , he said it's like that one , if cannot see , high beam .
Ok , high beam (never in my life i drove with my high beam on , unless to poke people's eyes for the vehicle infront )
But when high beam , i inviting retailiations ! And i hated it .
So i told him ..... he said again it's like that one .
Until one fine day , i realized many vehicle overtook me without signalling ( at night ) .
I cannot blame them ..... cos i never encounter so much ilke that before i drove KIA .
It has to be due to the low lighting of my head light .
So i fine day , i buay tahan liao .
I demand my hirer to change it or Premier has to give me a black and white to tell me "any accident claim , they have to bear ! Not me to bear "!
He listen liao scared .
Went to see the DRO ....
U know what ?
Premier got it done in 30 minutes !
What indent ?
Rubbish !
It's the hirer who bo chap .
They have ample replacements .
I hated the KIA not because of the high light .
It's the steering !
That is why i condemn KIA and switch to Skoda .
If got chance .
Once i found a Skoda , fuck off KIA .
This one i also cannot blame Premier , cos it's Mega Auto who bo chap , i also think the hirer played a part , cos to repair steering take longer time !!!
And no replacement if repair steering .
I believe that hirer was thinking ; " Steering can move can liao , meter can press can liao , the rest not important ."
Then u go and drive lor ... since drive with steering like that so shiok !!
kana lan leh now .
The best part was .... when i told the hirer the steering why shaking when negotiate a turn , and steering kept turning back ?
"It's like that one ! "
I asked around my KIA friends , they say "no leh , it's like that one ! "
Until one fine day the KIA sent for repair of AC , need a replacement , the replacement KIA steering was so much easier to handle .
So i chop signed confirm , current KIA steering spoilt liao .
I asked him : " Change to this KIA , condition better , more powerful ."
" No lah , i'll drive this one until scrap ."
Ok lor , take the key and drive yourself .
Other features of Premier that need to comments .
Diesel Kiosk 4/10 .
Only one in Singapore .
But they got a distinction from me .
Their Changi South diesel kiosk toilet got a 10/10 from me , super clean !!!!
Urine bowl 100% stainless , unlike C-nergy , stains weigh in kg one inside the all bowls
And totally no smell .
Compare to C-nergy at Toh Tuck , one heaven one earth !!!
