A passenger exposed the rudeness of a taxi driver in Metro Manila who threatened to punch her after she refused to pay an additional fare above the metered-fare.
Joanna Garcia shared on Tuesday a 45-second video on her Facebook account how a taxi driver argued with her to pay an additional fare.
Netizens are outraged by the rudeness and aggressiveness of the Taxi Driver in question. The taxi’s plate number is: UWB666.
Many have expressed concern over the rampant rudeness and modus-kontrata exercised by self-entitled taxi drivers who are taking advantage of their passengers. For now, especially for Metro Manila, it is recommended that passengers hail a taxi via the Uber or GrabTaxi app to limit incidents like these to happen to them.
Hopefully, with a Duterte Presidency come the May 2016 elections, people like this abusive driver will be eradicated.
