Why pick and choose?

Why pick and choose?

Taxi number 2492. That's a President taxi. Number 2492. It wasn't really surprising that he didn't want to take me where I wanted to go. What did surprise me was that it happened at Pondok Indah Mall.

If Pondok Indah Mall allows taxis to pick people up from the front of their center I think they should make it clear to taxi companies and the drivers that that is what they are there for. To pick people up. Whoever they are and wherever they want to go. Not pick and choose. He was only willing to take me when I threatened to write a complaint to a newspaper. I got out anyway and found another.

It happened at Golden Truly a couple of weeks ago too. Two President taxis and a Mercury taxi refused to take my daughter and I where we wanted to go.

If the President taxi company wants to get a better name in the business than the one it has at the moment I suggest they train their drivers better, such as No. 2492, and drivers who refuse to use their meters and charge some outrageous price.

Putting up with fast meters is bad enough but then when they flatly refuse to take you where you want to go -- that's beyond ridiculous.
