Back when I was working as a call center supervisor, most of the time, I was assigned to come in to work during the wee hours of the night. So, I had no choice, but, to ride taxi cabs on my way to work.

My work was so freaking tiresome, so, most of the time, my partner Mai and I hail taxi cabs on our way back home. We also ride a taxi after grocery shopping or on our way home from the mall.

And through the years, we’ve gotten too familiar with the usual taxi fare we pay. We learned how to check if the meter of the taxi we’re riding wasn’t tinkered. We also discovered a lot of the common excuses and dirty tricks of taxi drivers to try to unfairly get more money out of their passengers. We’ve seen them all.

In those years, we also gotten into a lot of fights/arguments with taxi drivers. There were even times that the taxi drivers were too guilty that they didn’t ask us to pay anymore. Ack. We’ve seen and heard them all, I tell yah. I even had a longgggg list of taxi cab plate numbers of all the rude, unfair and cheating taxi cab drivers and companies we’ve encountered throughout all those years.

So, I’ve decided to come up with a section on this blog for Taxi Cab Complaints. In this section of Pinay Reviewer, I will be posting my complaints against taxi cab companies and drivers who were rude, unfair and cheated me out of my hard-earned money.
