Taken for a ride by taxi drivers

OUR taxi drivers have a knack for being in the news for the wrong reasons. As it was reported recently, they were rude to the Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad during a recent dialogue in Langkawi, where about 10 of the 200 present rowdily walked out.

Well, what else is new? Many taxi drivers – not all – have always been rude to their passengers, and if we recall, they have been spotted as among the worst in the world.
