Aren't ferries and tug boat part of public transportation too particulary in the provinces?

***Sinjin P.*** · December 3rd, 2005, 12:05 PM

Kasama rin but I'm still searching for pics of them.

Post here comments about taxis in the Philippines.
Dang, taxis need improvements and need to be replaced like the Tamaraw FX.

Let us have a good time!

Yup, I agree that kailangan pagandahin yung mga taxi, pero wag naman yung mga sosyal na taxi katulad ng Germany ng BMW yung mga taxi nila... hahaha LOL!!! Tsaka dapat mga taxi driver marunong na din mag-english, para makakapag-comunicate sa mga foreigners...

Just curious....are cab drivers licensed to be cab drivers? Or just about anyone who can drive can be a cab driver?

ryanr · April 11th, 2006, 08:05 PM

The cab needs to be licensed with LTO. And they need the "professional" driver's license.

I agree, we need better cabs. Actually, what we need is a couple major taxi companies rather than individuals that own one or several taxis. That way, they can offer better and consistent service to passengers.
@ Kiben - we dont need BMWs as taxis in the Philippines. In Germany and in most of Western Europe, taxis are luxurious and expensive. The average commuter does not take taxis, they take the metro, bus and other mass transit. While in the Philippines, our mass transit isnt fully developed yet, so many commuters take taxis. I think good quality fleets of Toyota Altis, Vios and Avanza is enough for the streets of MM. However, Toyota Philippines is discouraging the use of Altis and Vios as taxis by voiding the warrenty to any used as taxis. They think it degrades its prestige. But come on, they are economy cars! Not only are they fuel efficient they are easy and cheaper to maintain, so they are best as taxis!

Are all taxi cabs in Manila metered? Never ridden in one in Manila.

Æsahættr · April 11th, 2006, 11:19 PM

Yes.

In cebu there are several prominent fleets of Taxi's owned by Chinese buisnessman, so the situation there is a bit better than Manila from what I remember.

But every Taxi i've rode in the RoP has had completely worn out suspension.

ryanr · April 11th, 2006, 11:50 PM

Is there still the problem of some taxi drivers not using their meter? And also, are taxi drivers in MM still choosing passengers headed for their direction? Last time i was there, things improved, especially in mall line-ups, where they have to take you where you want to go.

MirageBistro · April 12th, 2006, 05:09 AM

MirageBistro · April 12th, 2006, 05:13 AM

If they just use them SUV's instead of rickety cars

***Manila-X*** · April 12th, 2006, 05:16 AM

Sa napapnsin ko, karamihan ng mga taxis dito ay privately owned! Anyway, hindi kailangan ng BMW taxi sa Pinas. Pwede na Toyota Corolla or kung pwede, Toyota Crown parang yung mga taxi sa HK.

Ang hindi ko lang gusto sa mga taxi dito ay yung mga drivers na namimili ng pasahero parang yung sa NY yung araw.

MirageBistro · April 12th, 2006, 05:20 AM

They also have to at least get in new CBs and miniature screen tvs

MirageBistro · April 12th, 2006, 05:23 AM

Ahh look like people not interest in taxi all along......... Ms. Swan get free hamburger all the time

Could you please minimize your posts? I noticed that you post a lot of one-liners within a few minutes of each other. Just keep it one post, man

Solblanc · April 12th, 2006, 05:39 AM

Taxis the world over are filthy, and more often than not, that filthiness extends to the driver.
