Now, in Singapore, our friendly taxi drivers are renowned for working 14 hour shifts, seven days a week and drinking kopi-o until they jitter so much, they bounce off their seat... but their Japanese counterparts cannot be beaten!

"Notes Taxi drivers work 24 hour shifts. If your driver appears to be sleeping it is considered polite not to awaken him until you have reached your destination."
