STOMPer Patrick took a taxi but did not have enough small change to pay the fare. He tried to pay with a $50 note but the cabby did not accept it and instead said, "Then we go to the police station".

 

Said the STOMPer:

 

"What kind of taxi drivers we have nowadays...

 

"What has happened nowadays...taxi driver has got no change and it becomes the fault of the passenger.

 

"On Sep 24, I took this Transcab Taxi SHD962H. Upon arrival, the bill came up to $7.36. I've only 3 x $2 & 5 x $50. Obviously I can't pay her with $6, so I give her a $50 note.

 

"Her reply is 'I've no change, just started shift'. I told her I have no change either. The next words that came out of her mouth was, 'Then we go police station'. I was shocked to hear that.

 

"Without me telling her there is a coffeeshop just 100m away, she just drove the taxi out of the carpark. I was totally shocked by her behavior and had no choice but to shout at her to stop, but she refused.

 

"I had to force open the back door wide in order to make her stop, but seeing this she accelerated even more till she reached the junction. Due to heavy traffic she had no choice but to stop.

 

"I got out of the taxi and she dashed out very close to me to stop me (but I had no intention to run).

 

"She called the police. When the police arrived, they said it was a 'Non Offend Dispute'. I wanted to pay, but she refused to accept and said that I 'run bill'...OMG what is happening nowadays...paying money becomes a crime.

 

"Hope the authorities can look into this matter. (If a foreigner has got no change...the taxi driver brings them to the police...then the police will be very busy dealing with these stupid cases...)

So sometimes, we just cannot put all blames to their customers. But there are always good cabbies too. When was back from business trip recently, this good cab driver help me out with my stuffs though was not heavy. I tipped him, but refused to accept. Any way, I just leave it in his front side and said to him, you deserve this tip and smile at him. And he was happy. Nice chap. [cool]

So many taxi horror stories D: Was chatting with two taxi drivers recently, they've also faced difficult passengers who run bill etc... Always two sides of a coin.
