It was already 10am and I am already rushing for work, fortunately, I found a cab as soon as I went out of my apartment building. It was a Vee taxi and has a plate number PWD 111. The driver was quite funny although he started by complaining about the construction being done on my street saying that it is a waste of money. He said the street was not broken anyway so he really wonder why the government even …

It was Thursday again, I think it was the 11th of August. The guy driving the cab would probably one of the most decent cab drivers I have ever met. He seem to be an educated man and true enough, he is. He owns the cab and use to own a recruitment company that sends entertainers to Japan. When the Japanese government became strict in accepting visitors, the business went down. His wife is now working in Dubai as an …

I am starting to think that Thursdays are the most eventful days of my life. Most of the stories with cab drivers happen on Thursdays. I guess, this is mainly because I travel farther on Thursdays. My way to school had been quite rough. I was riding a Teresita Taxi at that time and failed to get the plate number. IT was raining really hard and the streets are already flooded. There’s almost zero road visibility and the driver was …

Every Thursday, I had to go to Taft Avenue to attend my Marketing Management Class.

Taxi Diary | UVH 382

It was Thursday night again and I went home quite late from school. My usually commuting buddy was absent so I had no choice but to take a cab from school to my house which will cost me about Php250 including the driver’s tip. Taking a cab from Taft Avenue to Cubao is definitely a long ride so to pass time, I talk to the cab drivers. You will be amazed by the different amazing stories I get from them. …

 

Taxi Diary | TXH 252

I have a meeting early this morning and I really did not feel like driving.  I felt that I am too sleepy to be able to drive safely (honestly, I am just too lazy to drive), and my sister is still sleeping so she cannot drive me to work.  To make it short, I decided to take a cab.  Fortunately, it only took me a couple of minutes to get one but unfortunately, the driver actually sucks. The taxi is …

 

Hello Philippines

http://commutinginthephilippines.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/ab31-300x284.jpg

Commuting is a part of life especially for Filipinos.  An average Filipino would have taken a jeepney, a tricycle, a bus, a cab, the train, an fx taxi or even a pedicab once in their lives.  I myself have taken all these means of transportation from childhood until now,  in spite the fact that I already have my own car. Commuting exposes us to various experiences from good to bad, happy or sad, convenient or gruesome.  I have experienced arguing with …
