How to make it as a nite Limo driver
-
Found a day relief now driving nite. But seems like it is more difficult to drive.
Any nite Limo driver can give advise?
-
Drive night? OMO lah....Lol

Actually, day driving is better for limousine driver as most of the times, my hourly disposal comes in the morning to evening. As I did mentioned before (abt 8mths ago in Taxi Forum), Limo drivers are adviced to do limousine transfers, like Hotels' Standard Orders (page out from Limousine groups) or, Q at AP limousine Q to farm & harvest your own "towkays". Those willing to pay limousine rates are those quality passengers you are looking for. If a limousine driver only sweep the floor and take MDT current bookings, how r u supposed to find these quality passengers? Everyone starts from zero including me. So, you really have to plan, organise your timing to the AP Limousine Q so as to achieve the lesser possible waiting time. Good luck.

nite is abit more hard but slowly but eventually still can get some
regulars. agree that day shift more easy to get limo customers

I can only give you my truly advices as I have been thru the same stage and done it. Definitely no "Tia Kong". Haha. To expedite the procedures to be a limousine driver's career really depends on oneself. Night shift drivers have shorter business hours as the town is dead quiet after 11pm on a normally weekdays. Limousine drivers like AP transfers (I don't know abt you) ... Listen to your limo group walky talkie as often as possible. Durian jobs feed Limousine drivers. I love Mao Shan Wang. Haha.

Would like advise too as I am OMO. Bishan kway chap I go there quite often but alone.

Bo liao.... Me myself also give up liao, how to give advice....
Night, also not my cup of tea........
Only 1 thing for sure.....drive limo cab must join at least 1 group, those who tell you don't need 1, ask him go fly kites......
Limousine info very important, I'm not talking about traffic info or where can try....
Limousine info is something only when u join a group than can understand what I mean....without joining any group, u are all alone by yourself....
Like now, I no more driving......I won't any get latest update.....

Airport Limousine Q (at Terminal 2) holding area. Just besides the CP and opposite the Coach Bay.
This holding area services all four terminals.

and book a limousine cab.

Limousine at AP now cost pax 55pts for 1 way.....
The good old days have gone.....it use to be everyday 4-6pm sure piang, than night 10-12 midnight also piang......
Now except maybe Friday and Saturday night......very rare will hear 255 shouting nearby can try.....
Day limo, if you want to queue.....minimum 3 hours......
Until you have some reserve to operate limo business......AP limo, don't think about it first......
A most classic case.....CDG actually reprocess a white cab at AP limo queue, the most malu thing ever happen to a TD.....and this guy still around in limo trade but driving with SMRT now, don't even dare to try queueing again....

Bro 5M,
Are you in any limousine group ?
As what Bro Rbs70 had mentioned on the earlier post, be involved with at least 1 limousine talk group is essential. 2 groups are ideal to get more alternative to limousine jobs and information.
We will not recommend you any groups to join in this forum... you have to mingle around and see which one is better for you.
If you have enquiries, you can open a thread (like EP77) and voice your concerns. We will give you our opinions and you have to decide yourself which is the best advices.

JDI is a good example for many to learn from. He dun shum , he dun take short cuts.
I still rem the days when we were queuing somewhere in the east ( classified) , our friend was in t shirt and jeans driving the silver crown haha.
Had he stayed on in silver , well most likely now he will still be with err silver.
Somehow i manage to psycho him to take the mercs , hahaha now hes become a power limo driver liao.
