    • i think the courses are run by taxi association, not by taxi companies…

      but if you go through comfort/city cab, they have online…. chop chop dun waste time… if attend classes, they like to spend 3 hrs to tell you something that can be finished in 30mins…

      and good to buy the $10 training book and remember content well and whack liao…

      the difference is if you want to be hirer, some taxi companies got some scheme to offer you rebate of course fee if you sign up through them all the way… like that loh

      as long as you sign up and pay the required deposit of each taxi company, u can sign up with all taxi companies if you want… haha

    • actually i think esp in town, calling is not efficient at all… in fact it wastes time searching and detouring to call pick up location… during peak hours, just to move 2 junction may take u 5 or 10 mins….

      street pick up is definitely the most efficient in town….just my experience….

      calling is only for those ulu areas without enough cabs….

      Meaning, if booking in town got no fee, I confirm wont take… currently even with fee, I already see the pick up location first then decide….

      for advance booking even worst… u have to forgo many trips 30 mins before the pick up time… that’s why without the higher booking fee, me forget it totally… currently even with the higher booking fee, me also usually not take… unless it coincide nicely with my location, rest time etc i.e. the best type is b4 6am to airport type of advance booking…

    • cant let the PRC take away taxi biz from locals!

      if i ever take a china accented cabby, i will purposely speak only English or hokkien and then call LTA to complain the cabby…cant bring me to my location lah and waste my time lah and bad attitudes lah…. and disturb LTA few times until they fed up… haha…

      this one i confirm will do one… protect my industry mah…. not joking…. haha

      Some PRC hawkers earning more than local executives lah.. not to mention some poorer singaporeans…. makes sense mah?
