    • damon, from town to CCK, if you dun mind route, just leave it to cabby lor…

      if raffles place to lot 1 CCK, usual routes:

      1) AYE-clementi ave 6-PIE- bt batok road-brickland

      2) take cavanagh-bukit timah-steven-PIE-KJE-exit CCK

      but do a cabby a favour, dont take bukit timah-upper-bukit timah-woodland road… that one i faint…

    • one funny daydream…

      if LTA allow cabbies to start own taxi company, we should start one with only few cabbies…

      advantage is we operate like yellow top… save big money on rental… but must pay car cost plus maintanence plus interest lah… but ask u, if the rental cannot more than cover the cost, why so many taxi companies rushing to start up? i did some calculation… taxi rental business is making big bucks

      the other advantage is we also have the option to buy taxi and rent out just like other taxi companies….or we can also can rent out our own taxi like yellow top… like that also can more than cover cost…

      in short, if you own your own taxi… it is sure win win situation

    • too all drivers , if u wanna buy anything related to taxis , like those mentioned by QX , can go to Rangoon Road , a shop name Sum Heng Auto Pte Ltd .

      They do sell all related items , majority of them .

      As for changing shift sign board , please go to Serangoon Road , end of Serangoon Road , junction of Lavender Street , a shop name NanYang Signboard , just end of the right side of Serangoon Road . Very obvious shop , of course they are capable of displaying dominantly their shop logo .
