Combating taxi crimes<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
There have been frequent reports on taxi passengers being
\nrobbed or even raped, but so far no concrete action has been
\ntaken by the authorities or the taxi companies to prevent the
\nrecurrence of such crimes.<\/p>\n
Apart from material losses, victims of these assaults are also
\npsychologically and mentally harmed. Taxi companies should take
\ngreat care in recruiting and managing their drivers so that no
\ncabs will be used by unidentified personnel. Allowances should be
\ngiven to drivers to prevent them from subletting their cars.<\/p>\n
The authorized government agency should impose penalties on
\ntaxi companies in criminal cases involving their cabs. In this
\nway, they will maintain proper management and give a maximum
\nguarantee to the safety of taxi users.<\/p>\n
It is also necessary to require taxi companies to use
\ndifferent colors for their cabs so that each of them will strive
\nfor the best customer service and an atmosphere of sound
\ncompetition is created. So far the color design of favored taxis
\nhas been imitated by many others in order to mislead passengers.<\/p>\n
Unless the taxi issue is properly handled, how can we expect
\nany improvement in the other means of public transportation?
\nMoreover, how can our tourism be invigorated and competitive?
\nBeware of the taxi \"ghosts\" now still at large.<\/p>\n
