Hey, if really 1 day can earn 300+ 1 mth is 9k. Like tat I will quit my job and be a cabby liao ... really stupid moron nonsense Like someone said earlier, maybe Lemon just read thru the script some others prepared.

macrosszero Turbocharged January 25, 2008 Share January 25, 2008 Even driverless LRT trains need to rest at night. What more living breathing human beings (although universally hated by other drivers as life forms of lower order on the road)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster 5th Gear January 25, 2008 Share January 25, 2008 If 9K for 24 hours drive, that means 3K for 8 hours drive. Minus off 1 holiday per week, can still get around 2.5+/mth...not alot, but better than nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnchee Clutched January 25, 2008 Share January 25, 2008 Nothing forgetting the midnight 1.5x charge, 4.30-8.30pm peak hr charge, etc .. factor all this in, maybe can hit $300 for 24hrs. But again, even the driver not need to rest, the vehicle also needs to drink (fuel) and shxt (maint) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like tat I will quit my job and be a cabby liao ... really stupid moron nonsense Like someone said earlier, maybe Lemon just read thru the script some others prepared. is it really true that they cannnot earn that kind of money. frankly speaking i believe they can earn that kind of money 318 a day without working 24 hours. but perhaps not everyday. and provided they work harder instead of sitting at the coffee shop. working harder as in drive without choosing customer and not drive faster. but all this are just my thinking niah. might be wrong and without proof.

Wanderer Clutched January 25, 2008 Share January 25, 2008 This happens only in a perfect or near perfect scenario. Even if he doesn't need rest, how long can he tahan? Of cos on some days, he will also have to call in sick. Somemore factor in meal times, the competition among fellow rival drivers, the amount of vehicles on the roads etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope_n_pray 2nd Gear January 25, 2008 Share January 25, 2008 It's almost impossible to work 24 hrs anyway so I don't see the point of the whole article in the first place. At least give some more believable figures la. Cab drivers are still humans and not robots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
