Grouses of taxi drivers

Singapore is well known for our complaining taxi drivers. It seems that they are an unhappy lot and have a lot of things to compaint about.

Do taxi drivers in other parts of the world behave like this? Is this an occupational trait?

Not so! I visited Kuala Lumpur on a few occasions during the past two years and spoke to the taxi drivers. They are generally quite happy with their situation. They like their freedom (as taxi drivers) and are happy with their earnings.

Perhaps, our taxi drivers in Singapore find the life to be too stressful?

Taxi drivers in KL dont have steep housing loan to repay. Thus they are easy going with life.
