Mention the word ‘taxi’ in a group setting and we know the discussion that will follow. You will have someone saying they got\u00a0a reckless\u00a0driver, another telling\u00a0you it was the worst experience of their life and perhaps one even calling\u00a0RTA to report a cabbie that didn’t stop for them. While those stories might be true, there’s the other side too. The part where taxi drivers have to\u00a0deal with not-so-pleasant\u00a0passengers. Note: it’s absolutely understandable if\u00a0you’re experiencing some sort of guilt reading this. We’ve been there and this is what we believe doesn’t go down too\u00a0well in public transport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Giving a big note for a small amount<\/h3>\n
Yes! We ALL have done this. And nothing stops us from repeatedly doing it. Perhaps it’s time we break the piggy bank.<\/p>\n
$\"Tax1\"$ <\/figure>\n
2. Arguing over the best\u00a0route<\/h3>\n
He \/ she\u00a0drives for a living, so\u00a0let’s just\u00a0believe they know where they’re going. Unless\u00a0they\u00a0tell you they’re new to the city and don’t know the roads, then that’s another story.<\/p>\n
$\"Ta2\"$ <\/figure>\n
3. Getting sick<\/h3>\n
Partying\u00a0is hard work! And it’s probably\u00a0harder when it’s taken a toll on your digestive system. If you feel miserable, it is best to ask the driver to pull over. A nicer option though would be to go easy through the night and not over estimate your capacity.<\/p>\n
$\"Tax4\"$ <\/figure>\n
4. Haggling with the driver<\/h3>\n
There’s a taximeter installed for a reason. And it does a decent job of calculating fares. Save your skills for Dragon Mart instead.<\/p>\n
$\"Ta3\"$ <\/figure>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
5. Snoring<\/h3>\n
Who doesn’t love long drives? But this isn’t your bed though. Hold\u00a0the snoring till when you get home.<\/p>\n
$\"Tax5\"$ <\/figure>\n
6. Constantly asking for the music\u00a0to be changed<\/h3>\n
The bigger the group, the more likely this is to happen. Each person\u00a0wants to hear a different station and the poor\u00a0driver is left\u00a0wondering whether to focus on the road or his passengers’ song requests.<\/p>\n
$\"Ta1\"$ <\/figure>\n
7. Singing loudly<\/h3>\n
A “night out” has us all believing\u00a0we’re karaoke stars. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. Bathroom singers sound best in their bathrooms.<\/p>\n
$\"Tax6\"$ <\/figure>\n
8. Not having the cash<\/h3>\n
You know the ‘stop by the ATM please’ kind of drama. Maybe we need to\u00a0start carrying cash and stop depending on the card.<\/p>\n
