Taxi driver pays the price for overcharging SPAD officer


A TAXI driver who tried to charge nearly four times the going rate ended up being the one paying dearly – his passenger turned out to be a Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) officer.

Sinar Harian reported that the taxi driver had demanded RM15 for a trip from Jalan Raja Chulan to the nearby Hotel Angkasa in Kuala Lumpur, which should cost RM4.60 by meter.
