Taxi OK service launch put off until January 

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Department of Land Transport (DLT) has put off its scheduled “Taxi OK” service from the end of this year to January next year.

 

The DLT-initiated service, which is similar to Uber taxi, is aimed to solve problems of taxis refusing passengers, overcharging, and refusing to switch to meters.

 

The postponement of the taxi service was attributed to small number of taxi drivers joining the scheme.

The postponement of the taxi service was attributed to small number of taxi drivers joining the scheme.

 

Most likely declined when they realized they couldn't masturbate while carrying female passengers.

Lol why would they join up and give up refusing customers, overcharging and not switching on meters?

...why to do thing honestly, if cheating get's away with more lucrative returns ?.....

 

Uber and Grab will expand their business with all the Taxi cheats in Thailand that refuse to understand.

 

And if you must use a taxi, say from Swampy to town and the driver get's funny on turning on the meter, just walk out of the taxi, complain at the booth and take another number for the next one....I once had to refuse 3 taxis refusing the meter, until I found one who was prepared to do his job without cheating.

Most people taking a taxi from the airport would have their suitcase in the boot ....

Before entering the taxi, ask, "will you turn your meter on".

I see back home that ladies on their own are having problems finding a Taxi that will take them at night time since all this trouble erupted with the Weinstein affair and it's consequences.

Had the DLT proven capable of doing its job in the first place, those problems would have been long solved. Now it wants to introduce a service to run along similar lines to one that it has already deemed illegal ... and it can't even get that right.
