LTA definitely can't cope.

 

Train, car, e-bikes, PMD, etc.

How come is LTA fault?

 

How about traffic mata?

This is why we cannot 100% trust and depend on GPS, still need to observe the surrounding ourselves.

 

 

Sometimes GPS really brainless.. Still have to use our own judgment.  A. Lot of time I tio Tua by GPS as GPS if set go by fastest route, it will always want to take the route with less traffic light and expressway, such that it actually go one big round, where most direct route maybe only 2 traffic light. 

 

GPS also like to calculate with avoidance of u turn when possible . Such that if u turn actually is a faster but it still want me to go one big round. 

 

So now I clever Lao, use my own judgment instead of 100% on GPS.

Anyone buying a 2nd hand Corolla/ Vezel, Mazda 3 (or other PH type cars) will need to ask for a complete service history.

That will help buyers differentiate AD - private car owners from the Uber / Grab ones.

The mileage won't help much if there's a lot of tweaking.

But those bought from an AD will still be better, than the Vezels where a service record can be less accurate..

12 hrs a day average trip earnings about 250 (after deducting Uber commission) . So 250*30 = 7500. Plus incentives and maybe some day abit lucky get more. So add another 1.5k = 9k. - car rental 1.5 to 2plus k, - petrol about 800 to 1.4k. So end up where got 6 to 7k take back? Edited October 5, 2017 by Yewheng

No wonder some of those old uncles rather stick to driving taxi. Looks like phv not as good as they advertised.

I attended the PDVL Course on 7/11/2017, and took the test on 14/11/2017. Luckily, managed to pass both papers and now awaiting for LTA letter to collect the PDVL.

 

We have been taking Grab rides frequently, and received a lot of good lucks wishes when the Grab drivers learnt that I will be trying to earn an income with Uber/Grab. Some drivers recommended to get a hybrid vehicle in order to lower fuel expenses. Appreciated all their goodwill.

 

Preparing for the day when I can start my journey with Uber/Grab.

Received the LCR-Esso Fleet Card 2 weeks ago. This would help save some fuel expenses.

Please refer to the attached pic.

I am not sure how much actual discount would be given. Too many criteria to read, simply apply. Can only check the actual discount when I started to drive Uber.

Suggest to apply for Citibank Cash Back Credit Card first. This will offer a bit of savings when link up with the fleet card.

The Citibank Cash Back Credit Card and the Fleet Card can be signed up online. Processing time about 1 and 2 weeks respectively.
