Friday (June 29)
Yesterday i had plan to deliver speech, but i must go to wisma BNI to join a seminar about information technology. I was very sad hear that news. But at the same time, i said thanx god, you save my day because this day at afternoon i must delivered prepared speech that i haven’t prepared yet. Hihihih
But in the afternoon, waknang sms me. He said that, i still must deliver speech tomorrow. Haha.. what a joke. I still must do that and i haven’t prepared yet. So i write this speech at the morning and i deliver it without any preparation at the afternoon wkwkwkwk..

How often you take taxi in jakarta recently?
Have you counted that?
Actually i have never counted that. Why do i must count that.. haha.. very silly..
Yesterday i went to wisma bni by a taxi. Another 3 friend accompanied me along the way. I noticed that it was Putra taxi that i took. After the meeting on seminar finished, i also went back to my office by a taxi. That was a Transcab. Meanwhile, my friends were talking about a tv cable that was attached to that taxi, i spoke to the driver.
I asked him what type of that taxi. I guessed it was a hyundai car, but i was wrong. He said that it was a kia car. Actually i don’t have any experience about car, so let me say that i am so dummy about that. So please advised. (harap maklum maksudnya )
He said that it was a new car that just already taken from the company. He said that it was one a month ago that he took that car. So he is a new driver on that company taxi.

Actually each taxi company have a role about the company’s taxi car. I have asked some drivers about this. When i take a taxi, i usually speak to the driver. When i met a kindly driver, there was a great conversation betwen us about his job. I usually take an Express taxi, so i have more facts about this taxi company rather than the others.
Each driver on taxi have same opportunity to have that car after a specifically term. Usually it is stated 5 years to own it. Off course with a special price in the beginning period that called downpayment. Express taxi states that the new driver must pay 5 million if we want to become its taxi driver. With that money they get a toyota limo and they must give installment to company which costed Rp. 200.000 everyday. The schedule has planned before, they take out the car 3 days and get rest for 1 day. After that they repeat it again. The more money they can get each day, says that they get more than 200 thousand, they take it as their yield. After 5 years, they can own that car, which mean it doesn’t need to pay installment anymore, and have option whether want to continue become taxi driver or sell the car or whatever they want. If they want to continue to be a driver, they only pay for brand recognition, not to pay installment anymore.

These are some code of the express taxi :
