Had an SOS call from the crony final Friday during about 8.00 pm while during work. She was similar to 15km from the place she indispensable to go from TTDI or ordinarily called Taman Tun to Concorde Kuala Lumpur. She wanted to know if we knew of any taxi (as we in BolehLand calls them) or taxi numbers to fetch her. She has been perplexing to call in vain for the taxi since 5.30 pm from the taxi service stored in her mobile.
But every KL, PJ, TTDI as well as tourists know we can't get the taxi from 5ish to past 7 in the dusk when it is deliberate rise hours where we get thousands pushing home (mostly in SOV or single passenger vehicle) after work or fetch kids home from school.
In actuality we can't unequivocally get the taxi during rise hours, 7 to 9 am for normal work hours, 9-10 am for those in retail business, 12noon to 2 pm lunch break, the super rise 5-8 pm longer if upon the Friday as well as 11.30 pm to prior to twelve midnight (there is an additional assign for after midnight). Hey looks similar to we can't get the taxi during all when we need them desperately during these time when we need to travel for the single purpose or other.
Will New Free Wheels Stop The Haggling?
Even if we do get one, there is no negotiation even if the taxi signs has this vast assuring notice it is the metered taxi as well as there is no negotiate as well as the smiley face there to perhaps take divided your sadness if we felt fleeced hah! Well during slightest the no negotiate partial is true if we accost the taxi during the above rise hours. A short stretch from bureau to lunch say about 1km divided is the flat RM10 rate, take it or leave it. Now your know what the no negotiate partial of the summary is there for eh?
But, either ! during r ise hou! rs or mo re so during stormy days, perplexing to flag the taxi is as unnerving as depending upon public transport, the snail paced indeterminate 'Rapid' buses. We can't error the float complement really. Ask the taxi or train motorist the resolution to the jam, they'd refer to the tiny dot down south of Johor super fit float system.
But the BolehLand supervision as well as the City Hall folks even with large abroad trips to study many appropriate civic float systems do not have the political will to implement restricted zones in KL! Too many governing body am told.
I referred to to my unfortunate crony since she didn't consider of receiving the tie train or taxi to the LRT about 2km divided as well as would have during slightest got her to her destination. But we ask folks who have attempted such alternative, they'd tell we they rather hop in to the cab! The 2km stretch from where we stay to the LRT is about the thirty mins if we have been luck wait for the connecting train as well as another twenty mins to strech there about an hour upon rise hours as well as an hour during normal hours (waiting time almost the same). Which equates to we take about 90 mins to strech KL from PJ. So, do we blame us folks for wanting to expostulate SOV to KL for work or whatever reasons?
Is anything wrong with the public float system? Not during all if we safeguard they have yellow line unobstructed movement. But we know how bad as well as inconsiderate BolehLand drivers are? They store the middle line travelling during snail pace, store the motorbike lane, cut in to bottleneck intersections, stagger in as well as out whenever there is barely space, play ground indiscriminately or only wish to uncover off their brand new car viz status!
Would increasing the trade fines resolve the civic trade woes as well as even tall fatality from road accidents? Not likely. It might lead to some-more corruption than stuffing the coffers of the government. Wonder if the pour out to levy higher fines! is to a ssistance to brush the tiny pinch of debt off the humongous debt pile up eh?
Are the disappointment as well as woes towards the taxi fellows an exaggeration or due t! o the nu merous as well as age old unpleasant knowledge of taxi hailing as well as fleecing?
To be fair, there have been unequivocally honest taxi drivers as well as demure ones. I'd often set upon up the conversation with the taxi motorist only to get the feel of the pulse of the genuine economy during ground zero or during taxi land. The taxi fellows will tell we the genuine incident formed upon their every day or monthly collection.
Striking the conversation with them can also let we know how they perspective the leaders, politician, policies as well as do not get them about enforcement, trade cops as well as JPJ fellows. Or about the many appropriate as well as worse passengers they picked up as you'd know their nationalities biasness which equates to the target organisation they have grouses have been not expected to be picked up!
And from taxi drivers you'd know how widespread foreigners have been literally running the country! You'd know from the conversation the slang in their verbalise as well as guess it's not the internal driver! Had even encountered the many whose head seems to stagger when they verbalise or as well satisfactory the skin tone or unfamiliar facial construct to hold the internal 'alibaba' is the driver. More so the genuine alibaba hah!
And, if we ask them if they own the taxis, they'd tell we the law about corner as well as the worker similar to diagnosis as well as work they need to do to safeguard they have been means to expostulate the subsequent day to feed their families. They unequivocally rebuff the monopolists as well as the cronies removing such licences enslaving them to toil for long hours only to be means to pay the every day rental upon their cabs!
Don't get them talking governing body coz you'd know who they support or who they trust. Once this taxi motorist ! was curs ing race formed politicians labelling them all kinds of animal names they can consider of. The creature's name they many similar to to have use of upon the politicians have been cows, the slithering crawlers, even mules as well as donkeys. But rarely is the bovine creature ever named, which goes to uncover they have been not so pigheaded racists than the politicians as well as the little NGOs who has this love of regulating such names as well as ! display such poise too!
So since the knowledge with taxi drivers, what do we unequivocally have of the latest bigger than hold up '1-oness' saviour grandiose intrigue launched final week TR1M, the RM35 million rubber tires partner to the over 65k taxi fellows?
While it will assistance them save RM520 for Continental as well as Goodyear tires it will pump the millions in to these dual companies too. Will passengers benefit with lower fares? Or taxi drivers stop personification their cat as well as rodent games during rise hours as well as stormy days to pick up passengers? Wonder who is going to be taken for the float with this TR1M giveaway income eh?
Will the declaration to stop the worker similar to diagnosis meted to taxi cabs by the complicated worker masters taxi monopolist be the reality. The subject is who combined these complicated worker masters in the first place? Now this 1SlaveMaster wants to stop the complicated worker masters of their own origination in about dual years time. Why dual years to stop the complicated worker masters from exploiting their 'slaves'? Is it since the monopolists' have been greedy as well as wish the little outrageous remuneration payouts to exit? Is the brand new multi million ringgit remuneration scam in the functions which takes dual years to safeguard these complicated worker masters turn even richer when they surrender their monopoly? And will taxpayer's income be once again used to heighten cronies?
Some consider this TR1M tyre relief account is to inflate the ego of 1Leader as well as th! e celebr ation to expostulate home the point to the taxi cabs which they will get some-more giveaway income as well as some-more 'help if they in return assistance back' the inexhaustible 1SlaveMaster eh?
Perhaps the 1SlaveMaster thinks this giveaway wheels will safeguard they do not hit any bumps but the well-spoken expostulate during GE13 to keep energy again?
It's unequivocally not many RM35m to secure additional votes from taxi drivers compared to the millions which the pick 1s' campaign dished out similar to BR1M. After all, you'd benefit tenfold when we go upon to hold the national kitty right?
Perhaps the taxi fellows hold the sincerity of! assisting them even if they underwent decades of labour by the complicated worker master monopolists combined by this TR1M saviour now. Time will tell. In hold up the single needs to swallow one's honour to confess being an ass or dickey as well as the culprit in causing pang as well as miseries to others. In this case, no contemptible to the complicated slaves for the incident they have been in. It's peculiar the overpower from the TR1M favourite not fixing the complicated worker masters. But we common folks as well as taxi drivers alike know who combined these complicated worker masters. So it's odd, the unequivocally people who combined them now wish to come out saving the slaves to have themselves the little TR1M superheros hah!
No asking for redemption was heard for the unfair as well as worker similar to diagnosis meted by the complicated business monopolist worker masters. Perhaps the TR1M favourite need not apologize for his predecessors' movement since it's not in their nature to ask for redemption anyway. They have already asked for redemption someday back right? which is essentially the blanket redemption for past revealed wrongs as well as hidden ones which they will surface after upon to benefit recognition votes as well as future wrongs to dedicate once they keep energy huh?
Now which the favourite has helped chang! ed the t ires of taxis, will the subsequent giveaway income be since to change dual wheelers, three wheelers trishaws as well as what about those 10 wheelers which damage as well as pollute roads?
This TR1M giveaway income equates to we got to get it from somewhere. Increase road offense fines might be the source of funding, or only print some-more paper income or dispossess pick needy causes? Where is the income coming from? Who is the SlaveMaster going to assign the bill to?
Will TR1M have up for some-more well-behaved taxi drivers, would they pick up passengers no have the difference the time of the day or night as well as not lay waste passengers during rise hours. The important subject is will pumping RM502 for the brand new set of wheelers have the taxi drivers change their statesman affiliation? That's some-more than the RM35 million subject eh?
YAHMEH!!!
