If I should see this rego SHB8167U, I will just ignore it. The driver is very irritating.

Yes i agree, both at fault also. Must inform him immediately when you get up cab.. but ya he is rude also la..

Just feel that shouldnt post him taxi number here just because he is rude.. coz these taxi drivers are also earning rice bowl for their family.. no matter how rude they are, they are still providing a service to us. I've had my fair share of bad xp with taxi drivers before also Smile , but really, there are also good ones i met before.

If becoz he is rude, we post him taxi number here, it might affect his business lor Confused .. i mean he didnt do anything very jialat to deserve having his number posted here, seriously

The taxi driver could have politely refused to take you to four destinations. Instead, he felt the obligation to go ahead with the 3rd destination nevertheless, but I guess he also felt it was really unfair to him. It is unfair, because he could have taken another passenger or answer a call for cab during the time when he was stuck with you in the cab.

On your part, you could have asked him to restart his meter, that could have been better since you were the ones who changed your decisions about destination.

It's not about customer service anymore... it's about interpersonal interaction.. Courtesy begets courtesy, and one good gesture deserves another.

And in case you swear at me about not having met one taxi driver like what you had; trust me I have had my fair share of worse-off drivers.

It's partly your fault. The taxi drive got to make a living and not play games with your and your friends by stopping at 3-4 places. If you want service, allow him to restart the meter or give a good tip. Don't think that you can demand top notch service just because you pay a puny fare.

The taxi drive should also learn to control his temper. Afterall, he picks up all kinds of crappy passengers and there's no need to get upset with every toad.

It's always polite to tell the driver beforehand that you have intentions to go to 4 locations and change your mind later to alight at lesser destination. The driver might have a advance call job to accomplished, change shift or have personal appointment made.

If he was told earlier that there's an intention to go 4 destination or less, he can choose at that moment to pick you up or reject the street job offer.

Though he is in the wrong of telling you to get off the cab at your last alighting point, I would still not blame the driver as much as driver have to drive a long time on the road, and driving isn't a relax occupation. In fact, it's stressful to drive, especially when there's more vehicles or bad weather.

Sometimes, it does help when could kindly inform the driver beforehand about your intended amount of destination.

A 2 cents worth of comment =)

YOU’RE THE ONE AT FAULT! IM TOTALLY PISSED AT YOU!

droopyeyes SG

Uncle pissed la.

Imagine one day must drive so many unreasonable passengers..

You leh, though you are the customer, one tiny weeny bit of thing also want to complain. He's very poor thing leh.

One unreasonable passenger= spoil his mood
One day drive 15 hours = 20 to 30 unreasonable passengers

Give him a break alright?

storywolf SG

I think you cannot blame taxi for getting angry. You have yourself to blame for trying to be cheap and did not ask in advance.

Be fair to the driver also, you all should have got 2 taxi instead of being trying to be cheap.

Heard nowadays they taxi drivers being exploited left, rite and center.
In the old days, they are allowed to privately owned their own cabs. Then legislation kicks in, and they pay and pay. Even now with the rising oil prices, they are cushioning the increasing fuel prices for you. So you think you pay alot for that mere fare to them, who do you think is ripping you and the taxi driver off ?

gnoik SG

See! All claim is ur fault!

WAKE UP!!!

Red October SG

taxi driver hates most is to sent various locations , like 4 locations and above , a waste of money and cabbies’ money .

Ito_^ SG

u changed yr mind once or twice?

from wad i read the driver is indeed at fault for being rude. imo u have the right to complain. regardless the reason, the driver shouldn't speed and dashed through the traffic lights like that. juz because he was pissed doesn't let him have the right to play with your lives.

imagine he is an airplane pilot..

Dino888 SG

You are in idoit who did not tell the taxi driver that you intend to go 4 destinations ! If the driver knew in the first place that you will be dropping at 4 different destinations, he will not stop the meter at the 2nd destination !

You better call and apologize to the taxi driver asap !
