High class taxi

As one of the many patrons of taxis, there is always not much of complains from me, but tonight's scene made me felt disgusted and never take a taxi again.

Taxi drivers always complains a lot claiming that they are earning not enough and some even go to the higher authority to seek help, I think it's not wrong to say taxi drivers had a hard time earning, but it's definitely not totally wrong to say they are not trying hard enough.

The time then was 11pm. I can't get a cab because of the heavy rain, none of the companies are able to take the order for a cab due to high call in, for that point I can understand. But what we saw was available taxi refused to be hired.

Some how or rather, they waited for an hour more to midnight till it's time for their extra charges. This is crazy. How I know this? I've been on a cab and asked a cab driver myself! I am certainly not impress of the driver's attitude towards this timing. If they are not available, a button called BUSY is invented for them to use. What for having the available lights on and drove pass Taxi Stand.

Maybe a taxi driver's regulation should include stating if they are not for hired, it's a MUST to to put a BUSY light and for those who put AVAILABLE but refused to ferry passengers, a fine will be awarded.

But there are still some cabbies that are kind, good and hardworking.
