3 Reasons To Hate Malaysian Taxi Drivers

Kuala Lumpur's public transportation system is still considered to be quite disastrous in some ways. The 3 most major transportation carriers are LRTs, Taxis, and Buses. I would like to touch on the disadvantages of hiring a taxi. The 3 reasons are non-meter drivers, foolish drivers and last but not least, on-their-own drivers.

Non-meter drivers prefer to charge foreigners who don't care much about what they pay. In other words, he/she will offer you a fixed rate or charge to your given destination. You can either bargain or just close the frickin' door and move on. Non-meter drivers are not here to help with transporting commuters. They are here to relax, smoke and wait. In other words, they want to do business fast and at the same time, they are humiliating the taxi industry in Malaysia, which is also voted as the worst taxi drivers in the world. Well, it's time to destroy the non-meter taxi drivers. Say no to non-meter taxis.

Foolish drivers fool around when they drive. It could be driving recklessly. However, they are not foolish but they make their customers look like a fool. Foolish drivers will either cheat on you by adjusting their taxi meter so that it ticks quicker than you count your heart beats or by driving you around with the most longest route. Given that the oil price is lowered, maybe driving on your own is preferred and you know these taxi drivers won't adjust the taxi charge rate back to where it's supposed to be. Seriously, if you know nothing about the location, please be sure to ask for some information about taking your taxi. Make your own judgements rather than telling the taxi drivers to do what they want. 9 out 10 taxi drivers are considered foolish drivers.

On-their-own drivers, who drive to places where they like most, do not help to ease the troubles of customers. The drivers only prefer to bring you to places where there are more opportunities of getting hired. Therefore, it's such a pain for customers who live far away or in a congested zone. Since when we are picked by taxi drivers? Customers pay for the ride and at the end of the day but, they are being treated unfairly. Yeah! Sometimes, you will encounter taxi drivers suddenly dump you on a road side because they act stupid in such a way that they don't know how to get there (out of sudden).

All in all, I have been living in KL for quite some times. I have scolded taxi drivers more than anyone else. The government should monitor and change the identity of our taxi industry. It's a shame to the country, Malaysia. The taxi industry is about to defame the Malaysian Tourism sector. Forget about the local. We are about to buy cars. It's okay to pay for parking fees and high gas price rather than waiting for 30 minutes for a taxi or being fooled like a stupid foreigner. One thing for sure, consumers are smarter than taxi drivers after all. It's no point of offering side business like selling drinks or cigs. It's better they learn to behave like a real taxi driver. Giving an extra opportunities to sell craps means giving them another way to scam customers. Yeah! Keep up the good work of giving out more taxi licenses so that the market turns saturated, hopefully driving down the price of taxi rate. As far as I am concerned, buses and LRTs are craps. I will touch on LRTs in my next post.
