Almost all of us has taken a cab in the metro. Thus, we have either experienced or heard stories that somewhat instills fear in us when we take this mode of transportation. In the past, we have shared stories such as airport taxi scam, taxi spray modus, and knockout gas in taxis. The police is even aware of this such that the PNP shared some dos and don’ts when riding a cab.
Due to this, there is an increasing popularity among commuters to opt for car services like Uber and GrabCar. Both offer a way to monitor the drive, which you can post on social media. Also, booking on either service is said to be more convenient compared to waving your hand to hail a cab on the road.
Additonally, based on personal experience, Uber and GrabCar cabbies are much more “nicer”.
In relation to this, a netizen shared on Facebook a talk they had with an Uber driver, who also works as a bodyguard. The Uber driver gave some tips on how to defend yourself in case an unfortunate event happens while commuting.
Here’s a photo of the awesome Uber driver who gave these self-defense tips.
