i am absolutely disgusted with cab drivers these days. sorry if i offended some really nice ones, i've met cool ones, but most just spoil the cab reputation. sad to say, even if i were to post this on my blog, cab companies will not even bother. but i'll just blog it just to vent my anger! grr..
nights when i return from LL's house are always late and usually past midnight. however, there are difference in pricing. when it's after eleven, price starts at $2.50 with an increasing charge starting at $0.25. after midnight, between twelve and one, the price is $2.50 with increasing charge starting from $0.85. after one, it's the normal midnight charge which starts at $2.50 times 1.5. the hardest period of time to catch a cab would be between 0045hours and 0059hours. know why? selfish cab drivers want to earn extra. it's not wrong of them to do so i guess. but if they were the one waiting for the cab, how would they feel? it's not about paying more or less. it's about getting home to rest. and hell, i can stand there waving my arms like crazy yet four or more cabs can just drive past me like i was invisible. and yes, i did not see wrongly. all are AVAILABLE. nevermind, once i'm on the cab, some would really take their time to go about getting me home. and at times when this stupid extra traffic light near my house which NON cab drivers would ignore at late nights, they would stop and wait. simply, the wait could increase my measly cab fee from $3.40 to $3.80 excluding midnight charges. what a waste of time. however, i did meet this really cool lady cab driver who entertained me through the journey. furthermore, the way she drove was more MAN than all the cabs i've taken so far. TRASHED YOU MALE CAB DRIVERS FACE DOWN. hmph. i wish i can hire her as my personal cab driver can? haha. she's efficient and friendly and drives BETTER than men. unfortunately, my wish doesn't come true.
sigh, i wonder how long more i have to deal with this problem till the *quotes from someone i know xD* CUPBOARD ministers do something about it. then again, they probably wouldn't bother since none of them cabs right? with all their savvy cars and chauffeurs, poor citizens like me would just continue to suffer. probably would even tell me, "go home earlier then!" sigh. pointless living in a democratic country when voices sounded are often convicted or ignored.
