Who can deny that taxi drivers are Singapore's master storytellers? We get the extremely cool opportunity to talk to Uncle Ben, the father of a close friend of Rovik's, who also happens to be a night-shift taxi driver about his storied life on the roads. In this episode, you will:
- Learn about how many taxi and private hire drivers there are actually in Singapore
- Hear Uncle Ben's take on the necessary ingredients to be a good taxi driver (and it doesn't include a large bladder)
- Feel for some of the stories shared, whether it's hilarious encounters or his unfortunate mishaps
We also bumble up our quiz this episode - so apologies to listeners for that! We're human too!
