    • CNG is definitely attractive with ever increasing fuel price… wonder what is delaying the opening of more CNG pump…

      comfort advantages eroding… less calls, cheaper CNG taxi available… my diesel bill is $55 per shift… wtf!

    • Sorry is $93 excluding GST , $99.51 incuding GST .

      TransCab will give $260 / mthly to OMO

      $190 if got relief . $70 to relief drivers .

      NCB same la , not too sure how much , sure get , i guessed $200 market rate .

      Not too sure if need contract , i think got la .... 1 year maximum .

      CNG .

      CNG still good , i heard $10 for 250km ,

      $20 for 500km .

      I am switching to CNG cos i don't see diesel prices to go down , and worst , diesel will go up if crude oil goes up .

      It's unthinkable if crude goes up USD200 per barrel .

      In long run , as in per year basis , i am going to save myself plenty of saving just on CNG .

      If one day i cover 300km .... my CNG cost is $15 maximum  .

      313 days x $15  , i only spent $4695 on CNG .

      If diesel , 300km x $1.14 ( after rebate ) = $34.20 per day

      $34.20 x 313 =$10,704 on diesels

      So it's CNG !!!  Save me $6009 per year .

      Correct my calculation if i'm wrong .

    • Transcab promised their drivers , they will set-up 3 refilling centre , besides the current & planned centres , at Jurong Island , Mandai Estate , Jalan Buroh , and Serangoon North Ave 5 .

      So Singapore will get 3 centres in the west , 1 in the central , and i heard , Bedok or Changi will get one for the east .

      I think Defu lane , their HQ , will be one of the refilling centre .

      If this is what the planning , it will be ideal for us .

      Except the central singapore , nearest it's Jalan Buroh .

      they really got no choice .... cos they can't afford to let their current drivers quit for Sonata or Silver Magentis .

      Automatic taxis very demanding .

      They cannot indent Sonata or Magentis , cos it's an exclusive deal for Comfort and Premier Taxis .

      They are under tremendous pressure if they want to survive in this industries .

    • i am not sure about CNG milege.. last time i calculated it is 50% of petrol price… so probably 60% of diesel price… but you have more down time to travel and q at CNG pump… definitely good for OMO scheme cos they have more time…

      i just saw one red wish at houg…looks ok lah…

      Trancab got 4 rental free days for wish?

      also, CNG must still use a bit a petrol cos they must warm up with petrol for a short while before switching to CNG

      hey pool, u know any CNG cab hirer? how they calculate CNG payment with relief? meaning, can relief dont fill up and just pay based on distance travelled?

    • if we take Transcab can got fuck-up by those monopoly , then we only need to tahan 1 year , then see what option we have .

      At the end of the day ... i actually lose nothing much , only those taxi company who paid $60,000 over a new taxi , pay for it . Coz they have got no taker .

      Like Premier Skoda now .... no taker , i Skoda $50,000 , imagine 10 taxis lying there .

    • skoda really a bad choice for premier… does it look like a luxury cab to you?....must consult me mah…haha…

      but eh if you quit comfort and then re-join after a break, you will lose your cheaper rental right?

      anyway the wish is a 7 seater car… so 6 pax can take your wish at normal fare?

      me looking forward to CNG pump in serangoon north… transcab also suitable for pple at my area cos their pump is in defu.
