Inherently Corrupt
When taxi drivers used to incessantly complain they were not making enough from the PHP30 flagdown rate and PHP2.50 increment from their taxi metre, the government heeded their plight and decided to raise the rates to PHP40 and PHP3.50, respectively. We all hoped this would finally dispel them from being choosy with passengers and/or destinations; and deter them from demanding “additional” or tips with heavy traffic or long distances as excuse. Wasn’t the move to raise the taxi rates, indeed, intended to foster a more acceptable level of earning for drivers and enable them to finally carry on with their jobs more honestly?
Wrong.
A must-read for everyone who experiences the same thing with cab drivers.
