TAXI DRIVERS IN MANILA - BEWARE!

"Para mama! PARAAA!!!"
by GRACE
I have to post this! I really have to, there must be a place I can vent this out!!!! ok, i have to admit, I DONT LIKE TAXI DRIVERS IN MANILA!!!! i have been living in Manila for 17 years now and i must say, only a handful (maybe, not even!) of the taxi drivers in Manila who can be called considerate and just doing their jobs! and the rest are... its sad to say this against my kababayans, but its the truth!!! most of them are...
dishonest - meter is as fast as lightening!
corrupt - they wont flag down their meter as what they're supposed to!
ripper - they will rip you off as much as they can!
bad navigational LONG ROAD tactics - they will roam you around Manila to increase the meter, and stretch it as high and far as they can!
they have DEMENTIA - they tend to forget that you are waiting for your change!
dont know how to do MATH when it comes to calculating your change
the fare becomes extremely high for people of different race! most especially to WHITES
choosy - they wont take you to place you need to go if your destination is far, not unless you give extra pesoses as a surcharge!
theres a lot more! but these are the usual happenings... this has
to stop! i hope the LTO or DOTC can do something about this! why can BAGUIO city Taxi drivers be so different from Manila Taxi Drivers? if Baguio Drivers can be as disciplined and honest and just doing their job right, why cant Manila Drivers do the same??????
