I always enjoy traveling and going to many majestic places. As a freelance public relations and event coordinator, I usually travel a lot, mostly via cab. I usually take cabs in good standing as they have respectful and honest drivers. They are also in good condition and have air-conditioning units that function properly.
I love traveling to places
where I can take good photos. I specifically like churches. I don’t want to
spoil my mood by riding a defunct cab, especially if the driver will scam me
out of my money.
Traveling abroad would always
require riding a cab. We need a cab
to bring us to the airport and then to our hotels. And to truly enjoy our
travel, we must choose a safe cab everywhere we go.
Traveling locally and even in
other countries is really exciting. However, being a tourist carries a few
risks. Going to unfamiliar places can get us in trouble, and we don’t want to
experience being scammed in another country. A foreign city can be safe for tourists, but it’s also up to
the tourist to make it so. Always be on the alert for scammers for you not to fall
prey.
When traveling via cab, bus,
train or other means of public transportation, always be on the look-out for lurkers
and muggers. They may attack even when you are riding a taxi cab.
You have the right to choose
which cab to ride. As always, I do choose cabs with trusted names and duly
inspected and registered taxi meters.
I always try to look confident
instead of looking like a lost tourist. I feel safe riding a taxi with a respectful
driver who calls me “Ma’am”. I see to it that the driver drives well and knows
the best route, avoids traffic and brings me to my destination on time.
Here are some tips in riding
a cab.
* Choose a reputable taxi
company.
* Do not ride unmarked taxi
cabs.
* Ride taxi cabs with clear
identification and official markings. Beware of unmarked cabs.
It’s more fun riding a cab when
the driver treats you nicely and drives carefully. When you are in a foreign
country, you must familiarize yourself with the place, the people, and their
culture. Knowing these will make it easy for you to adjust to the people.

Hi! Nice tips, I always have fear riding a taxi especially when I am alone. I avoid it in fact. Take care.

If at times you, alone and need a ride, just choose a taxi with clear identification and official markings and with trusted names (there are well known) , for you going to your destination safe.
Have a blessed day Maye! :)
Thanks YANI! Take care always ! :)
Taxi ride in London? This is something to look forward, instead of taking the bus. :)
Nice post, thanks for the tips in riding cab.
I'm a cab rider myself!
Thanks for the tips!
thank you for the nice tips. It's important to be careful when choosing the taxi to ride.
Thanks for the tips. Few times I went to Thailand, only once did I experience riding a cab with the driver having 0 knowledge with basic english.....well that's what he claimed when I got his attention for turning to the wrong direction, haha!
Thanks for the tips..Very useful:)
These tips are great. I will keep these in mind.
I don't mind taking any taxi cabs even with bad news about taxi muggers. Ironically, taxi drivers are the ones who are picky and don't like taking us to our parents home due to what they heard about our place from other drivers. The truth is the one they're talking about is not exactly our place and of a different route.
I actually miss riding taxis as what we have here in Laguna are tricycles. Which I call taxicles as they get the same price as Manila taxis.
The most important thing to note here is safety. Public transportation is not like private transportation, that you don’t hold your own wheel and drive.
