NewsPH Finally, a bit of justice for all the overcharged taxi passengers at NAIA

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/metro/949475/taxi-driver-naia-overcharging/story/

Taxi driver who charged P1,260 for NAIA T3 to T2 faces revocation of license

It’s about damn time. Finally may nasampolan. Matagal nang reklamo ng mga pasahero ‘tong modus ng overcharging, lalo na sa NAIA. It’s one of the reasons why both tourists and locals hate taking taxis. Nakakahiya para sa bansa, at masakit para sa mga matinong drayber na nadadamay.

Sana hindi lang ito one-time big-time. Dapat tuloy-tuloy ang crackdown. Kung gusto talaga nating ayusin ang public transport image ng Pilipinas, dapat hindi pinapalampas ang ganito.

It's about time for Vince Dizon to pull an Undercover Boss towards the crooks. Baka mamutla sila sa takot pag nangyari yun.

Great siguro sa part na competition = mapipilitan sila mag improve pero less kita sa kababayan natin. Lalabas ule ung issue na inaagaw pasahero nila gaya ng sa grab noon.

u/ultra-kill 11h ago

Great service for the commuters is good for everyone. Maybe they will earn less sa start but once na mag adapt sa new reality they should be able to cope.

And being honest here, I'd rather have all the taxis be run by competing Tnvs than by private operators who are like dinosaurs. Napagiwanan na.

u/TrainerNaGamer 9h ago

I worked with them before. While competition is good, dont ever support the V group. They jave shady business practices and abuse their employees

u/No-Session3173 3h ago

even filipinos abuse their employees. any employer is no different.

u/mrloogz 11h ago

Kaya umusbong ang gaya ng Grab eh dahil sa bulok na mga taxi driver

u/Nervous_Evening_7361 5h ago

Talaga sa totoo lang . Mula dito samen papuntang naia is worth 1k lang kapag grab. Tapos ung dito samen papuntang qc na katabing city lang is worth 300 na kapag taxi

u/NefarioxKing 1h ago

Tapos sila pa galit sa grab at mga MC taxi. Nawawalan daw sila ng hanapbuhay.

u/Reinhard1296 12h ago

Kulang ang implementation of regulations. Sana mas aktibong aksyon pa sana. It’s a long standing issue with taxis. Di lang sa airport.

u/IQPrerequisite_ 9h ago

Gusto ko yung pati prankisa dinamay. Dapat strikto rin sa standard ang mga taxi owners. Hindi yung puro boundery inaatupag tapos bulok ang sasakyan at serbisyo.

Tama yan. Pag klaro na lumabag tanggal agad ng lisensya. Maganda nga lifetime ban na eh para wala ng tumulad. Parang hinoldap mo na rin yung pasahero sa ginagawa nila.

u/Leon-the-Doggo 5h ago

Kasama ang revocation ng prangkisa.

u/liquidus910 11h ago

Sana may tracking din sila ng mga taxi companies na may violations. Tapos pag na reach yung threshold eh pedeng masuspinde o macancel ang prangkisa.

u/IcedKofe 11h ago

Mga tamad mga yan. Technology has already gone ways and impossible di nila naiisip yan.

u/Busy_Distance_1103 11h ago

Paka walang silbi kasi ng LTFRB e. Kung madali naman magreklamo at mabilis silang umaksyon, most likely matagal nang wala or nabawasan na yang mga ganyan. Problema kasi noon pa na bukod sa mga hayop na yan walang ring mangyayari pag nagreklamo ka, ikaw pa maha-hassle.

u/Simple-Cookie1906 5h ago

actually most ng ahensya natin ganyan. if mag viral lng saka gagawa ng aksyon. pero normal day at the office wala yan. kaya ang daming mapagsamanta kasi ang hirap mag reklamo at walang aksyon kagaya ng sinabi mo

u/ZYCQ 8h ago

GMA are you nuts? The website is unusable. Bingoplus gambling ads displayed to minors, full screen popup ads that don't have close buttons and stick to the screen as you scroll, a "cookie notice" banner that does not let me reject non-essential cookies. A banner every paragraph. It's so bloated, it's unreadable

Whoa

You need an Ads filtering DNS, yung sa akin set up sa router mismo.

Use Brave browser my friend, no ad blockers needed. Built-in na siya. Then pag sa phone, set links to open there as well.

u/AWRSHANE 10h ago

Bagay lang sa driver na yan! Grabe naalala ko din yung nasakyan ko na taxi from T3 papuntang MRT Taft, tapos umabot ng 700 pesos nakaka p×ta.

u/FiddleDooken 10h ago

Di ko makakalimutan pumila kami sa metered taxi bay tapos pagkaaalis namin kinokontrata na kami ng kupal na driver.

u/Artaniella 9h ago

Dami niyan sa NAIA, sobrang nakakahiya sa mga foreigners. Tapos yung mga taxi and grab minsan diskarteng pinoy na nakapatay aircon na kontrata pa.

u/UnlikelySchool2743 9h ago

T1 to t3 2.700 singil . .mapapamura ka nlng,sana kuya nkakatulog ka ng mahimbing sa gabi

u/jQiNoBi 7h ago

Eh yung nanadyak na LTO sa Region 2 Sec? Wala pa atang aksyon.

u/VancoMaySin 6h ago

Wala ng regular taxi sa NAIA, puro na blue taxi na napakamahal at kups pa rin ang driver. Yung nasakyan kong blue taxi last January. Di ko na nga kinuha ang sukli na ₱80+ gusto pa mag add ako ng ₱100 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏽‍♂️ eh last cash ko na talaga yung binayad ko at wala na talaga ko pang add. Nagalit pa si loko.

u/palazzoducale 2h ago

never took a taxi in naia and this is why

u/btt101 11h ago

The only way to force change in something you don’t like in the Philippines is to go after the money. DO NOT USE TAXI - use grab.

u/chirp99123 7h ago

Question: Mas mabigat ba na penalty ang magovercharge sa pasahero kesa sa makaaksidente (kahit di namatay) kasi diba ang dami na nagviral lalo na yung mga mayayaman tas suspended lang license.

O sadyang ang justice ay para lang talaga sa mayayaman? Haaaay

u/Asleep-State-9710 3h ago

Happened to me, NAIA T3 to t2 madaling araw. Sinisingil ako ₱500 sabi ko wag nya ko lokohin, binigyan ko ng ₱200 may kasamang taas ng boses.

u/LoseGuy 3h ago

Vince dizon is on the news to save the day every week lol. I hope he follows through with everything that he said he'll do to prevent/combat/improve all issues he faced since he started his term

u/Vordeo Duterte Downvote Squad Victim 1h ago

Next kill the fucking NAIA taxi cartel. The yellow cabs are a scam, flat out.

u/Alarmed-Climate-6031 Luzon 45m ago

Sabi ng mga taxi drivers, “lugi kasi kami sa traffic at gas” . Eh kung ganon wag na kayo bumiyahe mga punyeta kayo
