TAXI HAND SIGNALS in Durban, South Africa

"Many people living in Durban would know that you do not need to tell the driver assistant (the small-ish guy who operates the door and takes the bucks) in a taxi where you are headed. One assumes that if you jump into the taxi you would know where you are going because of the hand signs that you made to get the vehicle to stop for you. These signs have become well- known across Durban and if you are from out of town you are going to have to learn what these signs mean otherwise you'll want to go to Umlazi and end up in Chatsworth."

nice idea... ang mga walanghiyang taxi kasi sa pinas biglang liko para lang makakuha ng pasahero tapos hindi din naman isasakay pag masyadong malayo o hindi convenient sa taxi driver.

what if may different hand signals, for example, nakataas lang ang pinky finger pag pupunta ka ng quiapo, or nakataas lang ang middle finger pag pupunta ka ng q. ave para maghapihapi, hehehe. that way hindi na biglang swerve at hihinto sa gitna ng daan yung taxi na nakakaabala sa trapik, although in reality hindi naman dapat namimili ang taxi...

hindi din feasible dito yan. hindi lang sa destination namimili ang mga taxi dito, pa din sa presyo.
