Taxis To Watch Out For

[pogi1119]

Anyone with updated info on erring taxis. Taxi company and/or plate numbers? Especially those notorious for choosing/extorting passengers

[pedrupenduku]

there was a taxi na naipalabas sa TV i forgot the name, kulay red ang name nya...

and usually ung mga taxis na siguro mga less than 5 ang units nila yun ang mga mapipili sa pasahero...

and most taxis now adays bihira na ang nagme-metro puro lahat gusto is kontrata, better yet kung sasakay kayo ng taxi

ang piliin nyo is yung TAI (Toyota Alabang Inc.) Taxi, for sure metro sila lagi and hindi sila namimili ng pasahero..

yan lang po ang napapansin ko...

[pogi1119]

Ya, I also saw that. For me so far, I avoid Ken-Ken and Ralp Taxis. I recommend MGE.

[DJTranz]

kaya nga pag may nababalitang nahoholdap na taxi driver eh

 

natutuwa ako kasi karma na nila yun dahil sa pagiging mga kumag nila

[odchie]

mods transfer this thread, i think this is not the appropriate section for this kind of topic. Magbasa naman kayo guys

[Angel.Jae]

i frequently take MGE, R&E, EMP or NINE STARS, basta ung may green/yellow or white body color :thumbsupsmiley:

 

i avoid WALLIS, TROCADERO, MIDA'S TOUCH and other taxi name under the same management. mga manloloko at ang bilis ng metro.

i have several traumatic experiences sa mga taxi kaya sad to say bihira na lang at mabibilang sa kamay na ang mababait na taxi drivers. kung walang choice na talaga ay doon lang ako nag ta-taxi. i go for those big taxi companies who has radio inside. yung mga yun kasi pag may nag reklamo na apektuhan yung mga ibang kasamahan nila, so medyo standardized ang streamlined ang services nila.

 

i have a lot of bad incidents sa mga taxi drivers talaga, do we have a thread for that here?

he he he!

 

ako rin! ganun din ang nasa isip ko kapag may nahoholdap na taxi driver...

siguro namimili ng pasahero o mahilig mangontrata yung driver kaya nakarma.

 

 

 

 

si (Ret.)Gen. Reynaldo Berroya na head ng LTO ngayon, mukhang may mangyayari na

sa kampanya laban sa mga abusadong taxi drivers.

 

pakibasa na lang ang mga sumusunod:

I have talked to a former driver of Wallis and he confirmed that they use a certain device called "batingting" that speeds up the meter, without breaking the LTO lock.

 

He said that he can just activate the device somewhere near the steering wheel and unknowing passengers (especially those, he claims, picked up from provincial bus stations) can pay as much as PHP 1,000 for a trip from Cubao to Monumento, which normally costs around PHP 120-PHP 140.

 

So beware, guys.

[ladyboy]

madami walanghiya n taxi driver wala ksi ginagawa mga lto

[pedrupenduku]

That's it WALLIS is the name... and i'm sure na madami pa ibang taxi and katulad nila... lalo na ngayong season... so let's just beware, piliin na lang yung mga taxing mapagkakatiwalaan....

 

Happy Holidays peeps!!!

AYoko ng Wallis taxi... Mawawallis ang pera mo sa metro

[ponx_99]

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:

[Joblow]

Madalas ko ring marinig iyang Wallis na iyan sa kapwa taxi driver nila. Balita ko taga Caloocan ang mga driver nito. Minsan may nasakyan akong taxi di ko lang matandaan ang pangalan potek tuwing malilingat ako nadadagdagan ang metro.
