Pemandu Teksi, Again

Again, this morning that incident happen again and the whole street had to wait for it. Yes, our pemandu teksi (taxi drivers).


This time it make me think whether our taxi stand is strategically located for customers to use. I just couldn't see the reason why customer won't go to that taxi stand and hail a taxi the correct way. Its just in front of them metres away (very nearby).


Also, why couldn't taxi drivers just advice the customer to go to a taxi stand nearby so they could conduct their deal safely? Just imagine the time taken to negotiate and getting in the taxi while the whole wide world for these two gentlemen! So inconsiderate!


All these nonsense and dangers of stopping in the middle of the road to pick a customer or customer hailing a cab when there is taxi stand nearby is really seriously hogging and jamming the traffic. Imagine 4 cars in front had to stop for it to get customer and another 5 or more cars behind him stop.


Should we blame:
1. The municipals or developers for not strategically locating the taxi stand?
2. The customer who does not know where to hail a taxi properly?
3. The taxi driver themselves who stop dangerously at anywhere to get customer?
4. Ourselves for our "tidak-apa" (nevermind) culture?


is sky the limit... why?
