TRIBER

Alright, on to my awesome adventure. Tomorrow 22 Jan, I will be renting an hour of tribecar to bring my mum to bendemeer food market. Would be my first time driving the car of the present. Previously I had cars of the future AKA BlueSG. Experience was good, not sure about gasoline cars though. Hope it is a pleasant experience with the drivers on the road PU TAK KAI GE YO~




Geez, I just realized most of the car rental has a white words with blue background pattern.


*** Update 16 Feb 2018 - Yep, so I managed to cancel the booking about 3 days before as the bluesg station had been set up around the block. Really convenient I would say. Tribecar would be more for per usage. I still cannot get over the idea of parking at one place while the rental is still in effect. So, simply put TRIBECAR < BLUESG. Thank you.

*** Update 6 Feb 2018 - Managed to secure a standard sedan (Nissan Almera) from Joo Seng Road as the other cars in Potong Pasir and Serangoon were taken for the entire day. Seems like the entire day is $158+ but I decided to rent it for 7 hours which was $126.4. Had previously engaged sgcarrental but they said a minimum booking for a week for $980. which was like $140 a day. You do the math.
However, I will then need to make my way to Joo Seng Road in the morning of the visitation and also to drop them at the block and return to Joo Seng Road and back home. Hope I make it in one piece.

***Update 4 Feb 2018 - Had a task to drive my sis and *him from botanic gardens to m hotel. At first I was reluctant as I did not have the experience to drive but then I say what better time to hone my beginner skill. I then exchanged countless map location with my sis as there had the gleneagles pickup point and then off I went. I followed really closely with google map and made my way there, passed by familiar routes which I had taken during my bicycle ride. The journey was nerve wrecking as I did not know if I could reach my destination. Finally and luckily I managed to reach my destination with them waving around. I then plotted my way to m hotel which was 13 mins away. Had alot of commotion as the accelerator of the car was giving me problems and had intermittent speed ups. It was a fun experience but a costly one as it was a Sunday so it was $13+ with $8($7.20) grade 95 RON petrol... At least my sis paid me $8 back. Good experience gained.

***Update 22 Jan 2018 -  I have successfully made a drive to 2A Lorong Lew Lian and back to the original parking spot in 31 mins as my Mum was not comfortable with me experiencing with parking payment. It seems that it was just as expected where gasoline cars do not have a smooth gas experience. Every time there was a need to accelerate, the car would just jerk forward. Another bad thing about tribecar was that the fuel level was down to 1/4 and I still do not have the experience of going to the gas station to pump. This would be needed if I am deciding on driving to further areas. Overall, the experience with tribecar is still ok unless there are any dispute with the existing condition of the car and the next hirer.
