Taxi driver or Bus driver

[Driven]

A good fren is considering to close his failing retail business and may want to be a driver. He is thinking between a cabby or bus driver. Both has its plus and minus.

 

Which one would you consider and why?

Taxi driver.

 

1. Flexible time

2. No farked up schedule to follow

3. More comfortable

4. Less risk and stress ferrying 4 passengers instead of a busload of people

5. No need to die die wake up early in the wee hours, or go home late late (bus drivers' lives are like this)

 

I have a friend whose dad used to be SMRT bus driver, but has since moved on to become a taxi driver. My dad is also a taxi driver.

choice is clear...it is taxi driver....my dad used to be a bus driver...and it is tough...i know it....first hand account....so can't be wrong...
