Today topic is about taxi drivers! That is because during this period where I rely on the transport taxi very much. Thus, I have seen all kinds of taxi driver! From nice uncles who will even offer to help you up the wheelchair to unreasonable drivers who despite booking can pick me passengers!
Today our focus will be on them. There are good and bad experiences to be said.
Today, I met a very kind and compassionate taxi driver who puts the elderly and disabled people in priority! He thinks that these people are worth the taxis first, those able bodied can wait. He said although one can live without much education but treating one with respect is equally important! He puts himself in others shoes!
This pleasant driver made me trip from hospital to home shorter and faster. A pity I did not copy his plate number down to commend him. He made it a point to help all his passengers, and I think he is more than happy to send his passengers home safely than making big bucks.
Talking about rude drivers made my blood boil. Still, I must continue my story. This Tuesday, I went for review to hospital. After that, my mum book a taxi at 5.30pm and we went down at 5.35pm. To our horror, we saw the taxi that we booked drove away with passengers right in front our eyes. This is so ridiculous.
My mum immediately called the control station and scolded them then blacklisted this taxi. After that we requested another taxi which came from pasir panjang. We waited quite a while because it was peak hour. Finally the taxi arrived but GUESS WHAT, he turned to main lobby and refused to turn up but lied to control station. Totally no integrity, lazy just say la!
It is really fed up la! My mum made a last attempt to call a 3rd taxi. This time he came and got on to it and returned home 7pm. Totally waste our time, we have waited for 35 minutes for the 3 taxis. The problem really lies in those taxis drivers moral! They dun double check whether they are fetching the right passenger or whether they get the cab.
Hopefully, tomorrow we will be able to book taxis that have good drivers and that we will enjoy the trip. As tomorrow I will be going to Concorde hotel. Buffet here I come.
