DAY in and day out, commuters complain about taxis - too expensive, no taxi here, no taxi there. Commuters always compare with other countries. Stop comparing.

If you think taxi rides are too expensive, stop taking taxis and use the MRT trains. No one is forcing you.

If you want a taxi when you need one, call for one. That's life. If you want first- class service, you must pay for it. I never take a taxi unless it's really urgent.
