A while ago (around 3am today), I hailed a Nissan Sentra [SIZE=3]Simpson Taxicab Plate TXF-245[/SIZE] along Jupiter Street, Makati. Here's my experience:

The moment I got in the cab, the driver greeted me "Good morning sir! Saan po tayo?" That statement alone made me smile. I said my destination then we took off. While driving me and the driver had a little chit-chat (travel time was about 5 mins only). The moment I arrived at my destination (I was not in a hurry), the driver and I wasn't finished with the topic and we spent about 2 more minutes to wrap up. The driver was very polite and nice to talk to. My fare was Php45 and I gave him Php50 and said to keep the change. He said, "Thank you po sir! Ingat po kayo and God bless!". I said likewise.

It's really nice to encounter taxi drivers like him nowadays. It's unfortunate that I forgot to get his name. I will call the taxi operator first thing tomorrow to let them know that they have a driver that is a role model for cabbies and let them know that I was very pleased with the service.


Kayo? do you have any similar experience taking a cab and actually be pleased with the service?
