Should be a good Jod. Government always encourage more to be PHV, food delivery and hawker

my friend say very good. flexible time, can spend more time with family...

 

[Hyruga]

Don't need to stand for long hours.

No long term stress as most passengers can ferry on and off. Any problem is most likely solved once destination reached.

 

[Roadster01]

Easy! Just drive around sightseeing only.

and no bad debts!

Advice dont mean anything. You have to try for yourself. Even a unpolished rock if worked hard can become a diamond.

If you ask that means you are going into the battle knowing theres a possibility you will fail

 

[jasvonvios]

Yes, it is good!
Work for car rental coy - rental
Work for gov - petrol tax & COE (if own car)
Work for grab - platform commission

 

[orpisia]

Best is you join the phv driver Facebook groups to have first-hand opinions from drivers themselves

Grab, ryde, tada

Then you'll know

Think depends on what one is looking for more in a job bah. If need the flexibility cause of family commitments and such, then its one of the better option while still making a decent earning.

But then many are psycho into believing they need the cpf, especially for housing and such, thus if so its not so good for them then. Especially when they cannot save much to contribute themselves.

Usually those older who have much settled don't need to touch the cpf as much can lean more towards such. Those younger maybe not so, if want to build up the cpf pool.

But really, if serious about it and discipline enough, think cpf is not much issue also. Just own self make the effort to contribute.

Impression if not really educated and/or sit in high position taking high pay. Then this one earning not that much different from the typical office workers slogging it out exchanging time for money. Difference is have more flexibility in managing the time to do work, even if need to put in same amount of time as office workers.

But if work full time and discipline enough, climb up to higher tiers. The benefits and incentives are better, thus think can make more in lesser time compare to the average workers bah, if put in same amount of time.

Think hawker higher startup cost compare the 4 bah. Not as many get in compare to the 4.
