(Singapore news on the 4th) A Singaporean woman complained that she took a taxi at the Johor Bahru checkpoint in Malaysia, saying that after arriving at the destination, the taxi driver said the agreed fare of RM20 was changed to RM50.
The woman shared in the Facebook "People Floating in Lion City" group yesterday morning. She took advantage of the weekend to visit Johor Bahru. Originally, she wanted to go to Johor Bahru Central Station (JB Sentral) to her destination, but she couldn't call for a private hire, so she had to go downstairs to take a taxi.
She asked a taxi driver how much it would cost to go to Larkin. The driver offered RM20, and she got into the car compared with the RM15 of the private car.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Larkin, the taxi driver asked her to pay RM50.
"I must have asked why it was different from the promised price. As soon as he saw my questionable attitude, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and didn't let me get out of the car!"
She pointed out that the taxi driver took her to a group of red taxis and bombarded the taxi driver for being too "hooligan".
"What's more outrageous is that I told him that I would only give RM20. He said he would take me back to JB Central Station, so I said yes. At this time, he told me that he would have to pay more money to go back! I'm really speechless. Are you going to cheat me one more time?
The woman finally compromised and decided to give money to leave, not wanting to ruin her mood.
At the end of the article, she reminded everyone not to take a ride by the roadside or Teksi Station when they arrived at JB, and to call for private hire car and wait for it.
The above post caused heated discussion in the group, and many netizens also shared their experiences. Netizen Mike Hosc suggested that the license plate number of the unscrupulous taxi driver should be photographed and write to Hon Hafez, the Minister of State of Johor, to complain. The Minister will definitely help her.
Netizen Ceres Cyc Chu bombarded such a black sheep, which made it difficult for others to make money. Obviously, it was not charged according to the meter, but no one dared to complain.
Some netizens revealed that the public can actually call a taxi at the counter and get a ticket before getting on the bus. The counter will charge according to the distance. Passengers do not have to pay the Teksi driver directly. Although it is quite expensive, it is better than being cheated.
Some netizens also claimed that they had bought a ticket at the counter for a ride, but the driver still had to pay an extra fee, saying that there was a traffic jam and a detour.
Some netizens suggest that it is better to take the bus directly.
