Tourists complain about Medan's taxis

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Tourists, both domestic and
international, have been complaining about the taxi service in
Medan.

A number of Singaporean and Malaysian tourists said on
Saturday that the conditions were very poor and uncomfortable for
passengers.

Most taxis in Medan are old and decrepit and neither have
prober meters nor air conditioners.

Even at Polonia Airport in Medan, tourists find great
difficulty in finding a good taxi.

A businessman from Singapore, Chandra Liem, urged the city
administration to pay more attention to taxis to make them at
least satisfactory for tourists.

Several tourists from Malaysia said good taxis would be an
important element for the city to develop its tourism sector.
