I never take so-called airport taxis. I just look for a regular a cab that just dropped off a passenger.

 

I couldn't believe my ears when I was told that the airport taxi fare from the domestic airport to my residence in Quezon City was P1,000. Just took a regular cab and it cost just a little over 300 and was glad to tip the courteous driver.

meron pang isang taxi na maganda ang serbisyo.

"NRS"

non nong di pa LPG ung mga taxi, kapag sinusundo ka add ka 50, pero ngaung LPG na sila wala ng dagdag, ok rin ung mga drivers at di rin mabilis ang metro.

 

MGE, i think is the best so far, meron silang pilahan don sa SM north, between "The block and the old bldg".

basta ang tip sa akin, avoid the white taxis whenever possible

 

if it can't be helped, I prefer taxis with almost-senior citizen drivers coz from experience they're nicer than the younger drivers

 

the only white taxi I may hop on without thinking twice is Pioneer, the one with a blue streak on the side from front to back, kasi yung mga dating drivers nila nung FX pa karamihan yung hawak nila marami na kami kilala since madalas namin sila i-kontrata sa gabi para mag-deliver sa airport, kaya alam namin na mababait naman yung mga yun, although hindi ko alam kung lumipat sila sa mga car-type taxis kasi binenta na sa mga drivers yung mga lumang FX at ginagamit ng karamihan sa area ng Divisoria pang-transport ng goods (kaya yung ibang FX nila ngayon puro amoy putok hehe) pero yung mga car-types puro bago

 

anyway yung MGE and others ba pag nagpasundo may dagdag charge? minsan kasi tighirap talaga makahanap ng matinong taxi sa gabi

I got a complaint bout the taxi in the airport, they just simply charge too much than a regular taxi....My family is supposed to be waiting for me but unfortunately they are all busy at the moment so i have no choice but to take one. I told the info that my place is gonna be like less than 10miles away and they charged me 700PHP...and I thought to myself..what the f@#$! I can take a regular taxi.....in exchange for that and when I got to ma house...the freakin driver ask me if he can have 100bucks more....I told him,...'ey dude ..... you nuts?' ....this aint LA man.......

Never gonna take airport taxis again here in the phil.......sucks as hell.....as ugly as the corrupt personnels there...

I forgot the name of the cab and i dunno if this still exist but this taxi company only uses the small kia for their fleet.... their drivers sucks big time... charged us a lot for a short trip from mandaluyong to buendia

 

since then I made it a point to report these bastards to the dotc action center. funny how tame and repentant they are during confrontation at the dotc office.

The driver of an MGE taxi that we hired a while ago said that R&E taxis have been infiltrated by scalawags, again using the notorious batingting gadget to ripped off hapless passengers..

 

kaya R&E is going through a major inspection of their fleet, checking up on their drivers and their assigned units, if the meters were tampered etc.. kaya kung napapansin nyo konti lang ang R&E sa kalye

 

Hopefully, heads do roll..

 

peace!

Ganyan din experience ko sa taxi. Sumakay ako sa Makati papuntang Blumentritt Manila tapos kinontrata nya ako ng 200 pesos sabi ko sige o.k. lang di nya pinatakbo yung metro pagdating sa amin binayaran ko lang yung flag down na 30 pesos tapos nagagalit yung gagong driver then, sabi ko kukuha lang ako ng pera sa bahay namin pero kinuha ko yung cal. 45 ko tapos itinutok ko sa kanya sabay sabing "Gusto mo bang dagdagan ko ng bala yung bayad ko?" ayun umalis.

MGE the best so far. one time may nasakyan ako na MGE na may resibo ang bill, sana lahat ganun. mahirap nga lang magpasundo medyo suplada yung operator.

RnE at NineStars pareho ng may ari. ok din namn kaya medyo luma na karamihan sa fleet nila.

 

OK lang na magbigay ng tip basta ok ang serbisyo.

Yep madaya talga ang wallis, trocadero and midas touch. I talked to a driver from there once and he admitted to it. Add ko lang, garapal din cla dahil hindi nila binayaran damages sa auto ko nung binangga ako with one of their taxis. KAASAR :grr:

 

 

pareho tayo. binangga din oto ko ng wallis, ayaw bayaran yung damages! :angry: sabi ng management nila ikaso ko nalang daw sila sa korte. eh ang tagal ng process na yun mga 6-12 months! tapos syempre may babayaran pa mga lawyers fees! alam na nila yung e. sanay na sila na most likely hindi na itutuloy yung kaso sa kanila!

 

wallis, trocadero, ms universe, onassis.... isang companya lang yan! 58 kalayaan st. and 101-A matahimik st., q.c. ang garahe nila. (malapit sa afp/v. luna hospital) magkatalikod lang yung dalawang office na yan.
