Abusive Taxi Driver Urges OFW Passenger To Pay For Gasoline, Toll Fee
Another abusive taxi driver has urged its OFW passenger to pay for the gasoline and toll fee with a total of P1, 900 for a short travel distance.
Nowadays, we can usually see news and read articles about abusive taxi driver charging their passenger with extra fees for an unjustifiable reason.
Most passengers prefer to take Uber or Grab rather than a regular taxi because of the abusive taxi drivers who were taking advantage towards their passengers.
Recently, a Facebook user named Mitch Lu-ang Leswe has shared her experience with an abusive taxi driver who charged them P1, 500 for their fare and asks them to pay for the gasoline and toll fee, reaching a total of P1, 900.
Leswe said that they take a taxi from Terminal 1 airport heading to Fariñas Terminal, which normally ranges from P700 to P1, 000 only.
The conductor at the terminal also intervened and told the driver that P1, 900 was too much, but the latter refused to reduce the amount.
However, the passenger was able to video record the incident and learned that the vehicle has a plate number of “UWA 553”.
