Trying to get a taxi at North Avenue, around 10pm. I hailed 5 taxis, all of them had the “FOR HIRE” sign on. Only two of them actually stopped. The first one refused when I told him where I was going (a mere 5 km away). The actual ride took < 30 mins with minimal to no traffic. This is the future #LTFRB wants. (Madali pa yun kasi nagpalipas ako ng rush hour sa mall and I knew better than to try to get a taxi inside the malls like a noob)
Sa regular taxi, in my opinion, malaking factor yung operators. Sobrang taas ng boundary kaya naiinfluence ang mga drivers na maging walanghiya. Dapat maregulate ang boundary, standardized if possible.
isama sa regulation na dapat ung for hire na ilaw ay nakalink sa metro. Pag sira, multa din
Magkakaiba tayo ng opinion sa taxi. Wala ako problema sa pagtanggi ng taxi, I understand their position. Ang diko matake ay 99/100 na taxi mabaho sa loob. May amoy yosi, suka ng lasing, putok, etc.
You got Grab na? Although since yesterday, hirap din makakuha ng ride. I got lucky earlier today and nakakuha ng GrabShare.
Yung sa story above nakasakay naman ako dun sa 5th taxi I hailed. Pero yes I installed grab na and had my 2nd ever trip yesterday haha
