There was a driver who drove in the wrong direction and nearly bang into my car. I alighted and asked him to wind down the window and scolded him and he kept apologising. Then saw the phv logo, dunno why, I just let it go.

 

Sometimes, I think live and let live. I don’t enjoy driving very much, can only imagine what he was going through.

At least he is sincere and maybe really mistaken the road direction and apologized. Not like some others when confronted will end up want to challenge to fight.

Different.

Taxi is from at least $80(last time used to be $100 and above)

Uber from $40+ for 6month contract.

(Attrage Vs Kia K5,or sth like that)

 

recently took a phv to airport.

the driver said he was formerly driving taxi.

switched over because pays lower rental.

 

not sure of numbers but newspaper reported alot of taxi returned and laid up.

​Actually there are also some drivers switch from Taxi to U/G and then switch back to Taxi again.

 

​The killer part will be income tax ( car rental and petrol - non deductible) , I believe soon quite a lot of U/G drivers will either throw towel or switch to taxi.

​Yup, taxi driver can, but not PHV driver. 

 

​There are currently too many PHV drivers complaining that why taxi can deduct expenses for fuel and rental and PHV drivers cannot, or government is double taxing us, or its unfair to not allow us to deduct expenses for fuel and rental as net income is actually just 40plus k or 50plus k after deducting petrol and rental, then income tax come pay 3 k plus, how can sia? 

 

​Imagine the number of phv drivers run into 5 digit figure, just 50% of them its also quite a scary number of people.
