Instead of slogging in front of my laptop working hard under a boss who does not appreciate my long hours maybe I should just switch job and be a taxi driver. After the taxi price hike, being a taxi driver just became so attractive. I will give you 9 reasons why you should quit your current job and become a taxi driver.

1. You get to choose who to pick up.

2. You determine how long is your lunch break/coffee break/toilet break.

3. You can charge “extra surcharge” to foreigners who just arrived in Singapore.

4. You get to drive like a madman on the road.

5. You can disappear and magically reappear after the surcharges kick in.

6. You can put the on call sign and wait for passengers to dial a taxi right in front of the taxi stand.

7. The Taxi Operators’ Associations will fight for my right to increase the fares.

8. You get to rebate on Electronic Road Pricing for entering the city if you can’t land a passenger within 15 minutes of entering an ERP zone.

9. You get to have subsidise diesel from the Taxi Operator.

With all this incentives, it sure makes driving a taxi much more attractive than staying in the office to face that unappreciative boss. Don’t you think?
