Riding a taxi cab is more comfortable than riding in a public transit. I wish I have my own car and drive my way going home to Batangas and save more travel time with it. Last weekend, we took a cab going to bus terminal which is our usual transport when going somewhere but that day was unusual. Unusual in a way that we were charged almost double of the fare that we used to pay in the same route and same distance. Okay, maybe the taxicab is a brand new vehicle but I think it's still not fair to charge us above the metered price. We're seated in a comfortable soft leather upholstery with our feet in a
highland all weather floor mat but that would be funny if that's their way to justify the fare. It's not even fair to reason out that we headed a bad traffic. Anyways, I didn't argue with the driver. I just thank him for a safe trip and didn't give him a single tip because I was so sure that our fare should have been less than that amount.
Wow! You were charged more than the amount indicated on the meter? Here in Panglao Island there is a growing resentment among locals and tourists against tricycle and habal-habal drivers who have been charging passengers excessive fares ... and the barangay officials tend to turn blind on this matter.
