YES YOU READ IT RIGHT.
THIS IS A CALL TO EVERYONE.
I RARELY BLOG TO RANT ABOUT SOMETHING BUT AS YOU CAN SEE I AM TICKED OFF.
WHEN RIDING CABS I MAKE IT A POINT TO RIDE ON A COLORED TAXI, (MGE, R AND E, STURDY ETC) WHITE PRIVATE OWNED TAXIS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE RUDE, GREEDY DRIVERS. AND THAT IS BASED ON EXPERIENCE TOO.
THAT IS WHY WHEN WE ARRIVED FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP I WAS RELIVED THAT WE GOT A COMPANY CAB. THE 24/7 COMPANY CAB.
AFTER A FEW METERS AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT THE DRIVER SAID: “MA’AM P475 PO ANG RATE SA QUIRINO SINCE LAGPAS NA TAYO SA METERED ZONE.”
THE METERED ZONE ONLY WORKS FOR YELLOW AIRPORT CABS FOR LONG TRIPS.
WE REQUESTED TO BE DROPPED INSIDE THE METER ZONE AND THE DRIVER EVEN HAGGLED, “SIGE BAWASAN NATIN NG P100.”
NO EFFING WAY. SO I REQUESTED TO BE DROPPED IN MAGALLANES. WE WERE DROPPED UNDER THE BRIDGE AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH ANOTHER CAB DRIVER (WHICH IS ANOTHER STORY IN ITSELF). WE WERE SURPRISED TO HAVE THE METER READ P127.50. THE TAXI DRIVER DOOPED US. TO AVOID THE ARGUMENT I PAID THE FARE. AND WE FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO GO HOME.
I WAS TEXTING WITH MY OTHER FRIENDS ON THE OTHER CABS. BELLE WHO WAS DROPPED OF AT MAKATI PAID P110 FROM NAIA TO MAKATI WHICH IS A DECENT RATE. MY TL, TIN, WAS OVERCHARGED P450 AND ANOTHER P50 FOR TIP FOR THE REASON THAT WE RODE FROM THE AIRPORT.
MEMO TO 24/7 DRIVERS NOT EVERYONE FROM THE AIRPORT ARE FOREIGNERS WHO HAVE FAT WALLETS.
CALL OUT TO EVERYONE, BOYCOTT THE 24/7 TAXI COMPANY OR IF YOU MAY THIS TWO UNITS:
