Taxi robbery

From Kompas

I was shocked to read the article in the Kompas daily on June 14, 1994, entitled "Be careful when taking a taxi", in which the passenger complained that she was robbed by a taxi driver on her way home from Melawai Plaza, Kebayoran Baru. As an owner of three President Taxis I feel that the news will have a negative impact on the President Taxi fleet as a whole. Taxi users will suspect all President Taxis and be reluctant to use them. This will in turn reduce the fees surrendered by the drivers to the owners and upset the debt service to the bank.

It is to be deplored that the victim of the lousy taxi did not give her identity and personal data, and did not know the number of the car. As such is the case the President Taxi company has difficulty determining what course of action to take.

I therefore suggest to every would-be passenger to take note of the registration number of the taxi in which he or she rides for future identification purposes.
