How many times have you gotten into a cab, just to have the driver tell you that you’ll have to add 100 pesos to the meter because of traffic? How many times have taxi drivers not even let you get into their cabs because where you’re going is too far for their taste? Taxi horror stories abound in Manila left and right, and we are far too lazy or busy to report each and every taxi driver that has wronged us in the past.
Fortunately, there is a website available on the Internet today that will let your report taxi drivers with ease.
It’s called Taxikick.
Basically, what Taxikick does is let you report taxi drivers on their website for free and they will forward your report to the LTFRB. Taxikick explains that the LTFRB will then take the appropriate action on each complaint and they might contact you for further details. To follow up on your report, you may also email complaint.ltfrb.govt@gmail.com or text or call the LTFRB at 4592129/09214487777.
Now, let’s start reporting on taxikick.com and put a stop to these picky taxi drivers to make our lives easier, shall we?
Is it really a shock that so many people use Uber or GrabCar now? I only take a taxi when there is no car near, or there are a lot of taxis and I can find an honest one. Hell, I got so tired of it I went ahead and invested in a car to put in Uber after seeing how crappy the taxi system is.
Sana merong status yung report para alam mo kung talagang may nangyari sa report mo.
One time my sister in law took a taxi from the taxi line in Landmark, after driving a few kilometers the driver said that he will shut off the meter and they shall agree on flat rate. she reported him to LTFRB. After a couple of weeks a subpoena was delivered to my place asking her to appear in a hearing against the said Taxi driver… but she has already left for the U.S. so I guess sometimes there are things that happen.
Not only will you be asked to add P100. You will also be told upfront that you will also have to pay his toll fee for his trip back. 🙁
Its not that people are lazy or busy….have you tried reporting to LTFRB? Its useless! They dont take action! I’ve tried reporting several times but not once did i get any response. I really hope this works.
