Given their fcuked up track record in driverless technology by smrt, in fact in other new technologys, only fcuking morons will take driverless taxis.

Don't b surprised if u go sentosa, the taxi will dive into the sea. And the doors won't open hor n it'll drive to batam first before going sentosa

U r funny...😆 But I agree with u. I myself will never board a driverless taxi. Which sane person will entrust his life to an automated machine on the dangerous road.

Currently just out of job. Driving grab abt a month now.

Average daily daily billings (excluding deductions) = $170
Start 7:30am and ends ard 6:30 to 9pm depending on where I am.
Drive Monday to Saturday only.
Net earnings per day : approx $80 after deducting petrol, grab 20% comm and $60 car rental.

So u think if it's feasible?

True picture from the horses' mouth.
Nabei...Uber/Grab still try to con Singaporeans to carve out a career as their drivers. What crap!

[ahjie1989]

If drive so long and u get so little means u failed. Clearing 100 in 3 hours is the normal. Got to know the spots

[lasupkia]

A very simple logic.
If really can earn $6000 per month,
1. Do they need to advertise so agressive? Word of mouth spread would have formed queues at their offices for new drivers signup.
2. Do they need to offer all sorts of rewards and incentives?
3. All delivery drivers who knows how to use smartphones will sign up.

Sadly, this 2 are the biggest scams. Setting low fares that drivers can't earn. Most rely on incentives but these are being cut lower and harder to achieve.
Rental companies also suck thd blood of drivers with higher rentals and unreasonable demands when vehicle returned.

I drive Uber on part time basis, using my own car.

Start 630pm, usually ends about 1130pm on weekdays. 5 hours, with probably 30 mins break in between.

Average income, excluding petrol cost, per night is between 80-100. Petrol cost is about 25 a night. So nett off petrol, you earn between 55-75.

On Weekends, i do a bit longer, 10-12 hours. Average takings, after Uber commission is between 180 - 220. Petrol on weekends will be a bit more shiong, up to 40 a day.

So my 2 cents

For part timers, if u looking to rent car, still feasible, but bear in mind, must go for cheap rental. S$45-55 max. You get to use the car and still earn some side income during weekend. But you must be willing to put in the effort.

If use own car, definitely viable. Just use own car for side income, each week earns about 300 - 400, can use for many things, for example chiong KTV or massage palour.


For full timer, definitely can earn 3-4K, if you put in effort and drive min 10 hours a day.
You should be able to get min 100 - 120 a day, nett of petrol and rental.
To increase your takings, you may consider going to JB for petrol, which can save quite a fair bit.

[ceeko]

Go to JB for petrol must be near empty tank then worth it. To/Fro the toll already how much? End up u save like $10-15 per tank of petrol and the queue at customs is just insane.

If u really wanna risk going in under 3/4, kena caught, first fine $500, thats 10 days retnal. Dumb move if u ask me.

Hi all,

Just to clarify, using own car have to switch your car to z10 if I'm not wrong. And the insurance and road tax 's much expensive.
I'm consider to use my own car as part time too. Any kind soul can advise and is it profitable

[leetona]

Using own car, u need to register one company and transfer the car to company's name.. Your personal insurance will no longer have ncd. Have to buy under z10 or z11. It's about 3-5k. Road tax unchange.you have refinance your car loan..
I'm driving part time.. Weekly gross about $1200. After deduction or rental, and petrol.. Think how much I left
