Gambir taxis
Gambir taxis
From Neraca
The number of taxis in Jakarta keeps increasing, and many of
these taxis give poor service and use manipulated taxi meters.
You will find many of them at Gambir railway station. The taxi
drivers race with each other to offer their taxis to passengers
just off the train. The driver's are a nuisance to the
passengers. Unfortunately, the station management does not seem
bothered by this situation.
Another inconvenience experienced by the public is that many
taxi drivers are reluctant to take passengers traveling a short
distance. The driver is likely to ask the would-be passengers
what destination they want to go to, before they get in the taxi.
If the distance to be covered is too short, at least in the
driver's opinion, he refuses to take them.
I hope the Gambir management will do something about this
situation.
