Glendon Neutral Newbie November 30, 2006 Share November 30, 2006 bus captain monthly income how can compare to cab driver $1500-- vs $3000++ Hmm... I did a quick back-of-the-envelope: Target: $3000 / mth Assume: Days of work per month: 30 days Hours of work per day: 12 hrs Daily rental: $90 Petrol per day: $10 Passenger pays per trip: $15 (average out) Computation: Profit per day: $3000 / 30 = $100 per day Gross per day: $100 + $90 (cover rental) + $10 (cover petrol) = $200 No. of passengers per day: $200/$15 = 13 (round down) No. of passenger per hour = 13/12 = 1 (round down) Conclusion: He needs to pick up 1 passenger for every hour he is on the road. Findings: I guess $3000 /mth is possible, but a bit tight... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiphiphoray 6th Gear December 7, 2006 Share December 7, 2006 After owning a car, i find the noise in a moving taxi extremely un-bearable. Especially when taxi drivers often drag 2nd gear or 3rd gear.......damn bloody noisy. Not forgetting the vibratiing part. For the price of taxi fares, its not value for money at all. Recently took a cab from tampines to sembawang.....$19/- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboy 1st Gear December 7, 2006 Share December 7, 2006 Perhaps, the large cc for crown plays a part in FC. Govt introduce 3000cc, but poor cabby got to swallow poor FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboy 1st Gear December 7, 2006 Share December 7, 2006 interesting! Thought they are supposed to make a living, not to race. Sometimes feel they rev unnecessarily, esp from 1 traffic lite to another. I go slowly, yet end up meeting them again. Of course on expressway during off-peak, it's understandable. gar gar tuah, any car also wu lat! But jiak yu lor! Like this, how to earn 3K? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
