Last time, whenever I got this problem........1 phone call to my kakis.......let him talk to "them" in Tamil..........everything settle...........
Those ah nehs that can speak hokkien are an endanger species liao, hard to find, knn, even those hokkien gina also can speak hokkien, what you expect, even if they speak, sound seibei funny.And also FallenTalent indian only speak hindi or other indian languages, not all can speak tamil, our locals are mostly from tamil nadu, chennai type, even they also find is hard to communicate with them.
But if you want to find a chinese that can speak Tamil, beside serangoon goldsmith shop, I am one of them

the way i see
go gather your group of friend(tds)
learn the road, do revision daily. take out some trip and see any alternate road available
learn how to communicate with pax when given a destination which td is not familar or which best route to take
learn how to handle non paying pax, ( best is also have clear instruction from individual taxi company whom td hire the taxi)
learn how to get help instantly if both td and pax does not know the way or location
only with all this knowledge then one can possiblel avoid all this nonsense
it serve no point starting a thread here as it is almost a repeat from many others thread which has already given many form of answer,
why not ask your friend to register and come here to post, if they are not interested to find their answer, why should it be you?remember driving taxi cannot be alone, you need friends (tds) also for all kinds of reasons to be on the road
when ever it is close to a makan gathering , i always like to say this
come and meet the old birds and you will get to hear many tds driving experience for many different cases
especially some news bird who just started, they come and ask lots of questions and most in fact all are given very good solutions.wantaxi, you stay ang mo kio, can’t you just invest a little time and money(buffet price)
to get yours answer?Think about it. don’t be so shy
Yes, friends are important, especially in your trade, even me casket driver cum partimer TD also attend their BBQ, as full time, you must gather more info, networking, good or bad also take, then digest the good and see if there is any good in the bad to absorb. -

Couple of days back had an advance booking @ chu yen st. Dun wish to mention race of pax, in case is sensitive to some. It was a replacement taxi for this pax. And pax refused to pay for advance booking fee when on board the taxi. Reason being it is a replacement taxi. As the original taxi did not come. I do not know why this pax can came up with this type of reason to avoid paying advance booking fee. Really sick to pick this type of pax.

1st, bros i need ur opinion and what will u do, pls input.
My friend went for an advance booking at PanPac Suite Somerset at 8am. Pax was late and came down at 8.10am. Told my friend he going 20 upp circular road. Upon reaching, my friend missed the 1st turn to upp circular rd, so he turned at carpenter st. He panic and called me saying dunno how to go. So i told him to cut thru the open carpark. But he missed again n turn to hongkong st. Eventually, he make a turn back n reached 20 upp circular road. Now the turning point is, pax (Indian) dun want to pay the fare of $18. He said he is late due to my friend not knowing the destination and wanna complaint. His appt time is 8.15am.
My question is, can he just walk away n not pay?
Get a Garmin GPS.
If pax never pay anything, your friend should complain to the company which gave him the booking.
Why your friend so stupid that he cannot post this himself?

Tks for all bros for the inputs. I really appreciate it. Be it positive or negative. Each n everyone is entitled to his or her view. And I wish to clarify that I'm not pin-pointing to any race or person. If I do make u feel so, then I apologise here. Sorry Bro PS2U.
But every race got their fare share of lousy pax. Be it chinese, malay, indian angmo, there bound to be some nasty.ones. I accept every comment with open mind n heart. I believe more in inner self. If u think positive, then positive. If negative then it will be. And I saw CDG mentioned here, but my initial thread there isn't CDG mentioned.
To conclude, we human interpret things differently. Just like Bro poolman started a thread on which taxi stand u hate most. Some say this, some say that. So is still individual.
My statement might not be accepted by all, as one person cannot satisfy all.
Thanks once again.
Agree with you bro. Don't stereotype a particular race, because of "ONE" Incident.
I am a Terminated CDG driver because passenger complain of wrong routes. all complains were from Chinese passengers,.Malay and Indian passengers always direct me properly.
-
I have also taken bookings from Indians. Use GPS to go there. Reach there, tell them I am new and must use GPS. No complaints from them.
Most of my complaints are from Chinese Females. I am sacked by CDG because of these complaints.
-
So PS2U u not gonna drive anymore? finance wise shoudl be stable then...or maybe just maybe drive relief instead ?

I don't know which company you are driving for..........
If CDG, usually for replacement taxi, unless is very last min, operator will call you up and inform, and it suppose to be a current call..........
Replacement for advance call more than 30min in advance, drivers won't know, and we charge according to MDT shown, no reason pax will be angry, as long any cab arrive on time..........
A few times, my encounter is such, receive current job, operator call and inform replacement for advance job, also will advise if pax refuse to pay even the current job rate, CDG will reimburse back to my account, advise me don't argue with pax, obviously this pax kanna shoot aero plane by the othe TD.............
Without any clarification, pax refuse to pay booking charges, call driver hot line straight away.............
Never such thing that CDG will replace a last min cab with advance booking rate........
-
We pay call levy to CDG...........
They MUST protect us.............
-
Tks RBS for the reply. That's isn't any last minute changes. Just that, everything was on time and the pax reason is, change cab number then no advance charge. We also work according to the MDT prompt. We won't anyhow argue also. To me, arguement goes no where. Might as well think of a better things to do.
I'm a newbie abt 8mths on the road. I like 1 type of food. "PIE". I always eat that. It bring me a long way. I'm in the forum to rant. I accepted and understand most bros posting with a open heart and mind.
Bro Techno, coy spoke to him n he LL also got to pay. It is the mentality of a person. It is how we perceived things. It is always 2 sided.

What no reason pax will be angry, once i took over a replacement with more than half an hour mdt call from cdg, I called cdg operator, she said replacement can charge $8.
But when pax saw my crown and plate nos different, tho he knew but he straight away said no advance booking, then called cdg on why send a crown and a clown driver. I lan lan, slowly slowly drive him to AP with a smiling face, then he gets quite annoyed and asked what so funny? So I told him, a clown alway smile.
