Ts not happy you go buy car lor

Why complain no car when you want meter? Meter earns the least if I'm not mistaken.

Have 2 children
only can take taxi zig app
choose cheapest
but taxi driver ignored
Then no choice...

In my opinion...for PHV, most of the time is about $$$ :s13: I mean there are drivers who are very strict about this but I feel these are the minority.

1km trip $20 you see the driver will insist having a child seat anot or they will cancel.

Before CNY already choosing passengers liao. I tried booking taxi on ComfortDelGro app and TaDa app. CDG no taxi found but managed to get a CDG taxi on TaDa app. TaDa price much higher than metered fare.

Yes, I am happy to pay 50-75% Higher
But yet the drivers can still make wrong turn
and make us wait even longer
what most angry about zig app
the estimated arriving time is pressed by the driver
Sometime these driver press 6-8min
but they arrived 3 min time
and canceled my trip after 3 min wait
My experience is the other way round. Say come in 2-4 min but after 10 min, taxi haven’t arrive.

If I have to press a higher fixed fare
For more than 5 times
for more than 30 min
to get a driver
yes, I agree
there are not enough driver
higher demand
but when you press meter many times
no Driver
then you press 1 time fixed fare
a driver is found

actually no need to chiong, fares all surging like mad

my friend told me, gojek last night from woodlands checkpoint area to punggol, at one point was $80 for a 20 min ride
It doesn't matter how high it surge, as long as no people press the book button, you want surge to $1000 also no use.

Besides that, how many $80 can you get in a day? The point is, even if surge is crazy, still have to put in the hours to get to $1.2k.

Change narrative a little.

Why must you insist that a driver accept your metered booking for lower earnings? Why do you want to suppress the driver's income?

When changing jobs, you don't look for a pay cut right?

this is the narrative most Singaporeans have. Blue collar wages should be depressed and white collar wage should be elevated

if grab or Gojek cannot choose
why taxi driver can?
