Is it true that TAXI drivers can earn $6K a month!!!

Cabbies get $6K pay?
by Ansley Ng


Just a few months ago, taxi drivers were bemoaning a dip in takings after a fare hike last November appeared to have put passengers off.

Flag-down fares rose 20 cents, and peak periods were extended, meaning passengers pay a higher surcharge.

Some commuters figured it was just no longer cost-savvy to take taxis, while a small number had boycotted taking cabs as a protest.

But new salary figures reported by The Straits Times on Monday showed that the incomes of taxi drivers have gone up – some as much as 30 per cent.

ComfortDelGro, Singapore’s biggest taxi operator, said that since the fare hike in November, the average net daily income per cab has risen 12 per cent to $210.93.

This works out to $5,906 per month, if a driver works 28 days.

The rise excludes vehicle rental and diesel.

Trans-Cab, the second largest operator here, said its drivers have seen a 20 to 30 per cent increase in takings, the newspaper said.

The firm’s general manager Jasmine Tan told the paper that drivers who take on a solo shift without a relief driver can take home about $3,200 per month.

Those with a relief driver can earn between $2,500 and $2,800 per month, the report added.

on 2nd reading, comfort quoted the earning based on per cab, but transcab quoted based on per driver. looks like comfort trying to smoke again by making the figures look better than it actually is.

Not strange, they always love to masturbate with the figures. I think ask Hotbot we will know the actual situation.

the key word - excludes vehicle rental and diesel.

cab rental went up, diesel also went up. So all the 'increase' that the cabbies make went back to the blood suckers.

end of the day, cabbies are still stuck in the same bull crap fighting to make ends meet.

Just minus off maybe about $120 per day and that is the take home salary.

Taxi companies need to balance the pain threshold between what commuters and cabbies are willing to pay. Comfort/Delgro under pressure from PAP cadre shareholders to give better dividends. I bet taxi rentals will go up soon. COEs are skyrocketing. If people think that Comfort/Delgro taxi division is a charity, quit your jobs and join them as taxi drivers. A MacDonalds crew member is paid $5 an hour. 12 hours for a cab driver to earn $100 sure is damn lucrative!

3. one thorough wash also cost money.
4. how about kena rob?
5. such items are foot by the driver!

I once spoke to a taxi driver, he claimed that nowadays they don't really have to work hard anymore and can end their shifts by late afternoon. They could easily make the money to clear the rental and diesel. For those who are hardworking, they can earn double.

 

[BuiKia]

yah and some female passenger got not enough money and wanna pay in kind leh.

I have a friend who worked as a taxi driver a few years ago. Made 3500 per month.

I think we should import 100 PRC drivers and provide some competition. This will lower taxi fares and improve taxi availability.
