What about if we can have some chat with them now, and listen to their accounts..

Do they ever Blog?
Do they have time to Blog?
Are most of them well educated?
Have you ever get friendly/frankly chat with them while taking a ride?

Not all were bad evil taxi drivers. So ... here we go ...

In a recent hike of Taxi fare in Kuala Lumpur. They did told me something which is worth pondering about...

How they charge?
What they said?

Let's have a look...
Is the new Taxi charges a good implementation?
Now, once you get into the Taxi - the meter will start charging you at RM3 and for a short distance of 3km you can easily sees it jump to RM5.40 to RM6.30 for a short ride.

If you are TOURIST in Kuala Lumpur, they would charge you RM10~15 for a short distance ride within 2km radius. Even you wanted to go from Petaling Street to Bukit Bintang, they charge you RM10! From Maluri,Cheras to Bukit Bintang not even RM10! But that was already standard charges.

Taxi driver did told me that some local passengers would just stop half way in the midst of traffic jam, they just can't bear seeing and hearing the meter keep clicking tik ..tik...tik - heart attack lehhh.... They just pay and walk rather than stuck in the traffic.
