    Oh, baka naman may mag away nanaman dito sa thread na ito ha. No big deal naman itong nakita ko kanina. I saw a white Picanto taxi a while ago in Buendia towards Makati avenue.

    Hmmm....Parang naliliitan ako for that but at least, matipid siya sa gas plus good looks heheheh.

    sana gumanda na taxis dito sa atin. Sayang lang kasi madaming bulok na ae101 taxis na naka LPG and I think ayaw bitawan ng owners/operators nila yun.

    meron na rin palang picanto taxi? ayus ah.

    although i doubt i'll fit there. trying to fit into a vios taxi was a claustrophobic experience for me. :lol:

    heck, mas kasya ako sa kia pride kesa sa vios.

    Vios is not suitable for a taxi. Too small. Picanto should be all right for passenger space, but not much luggage space.

    Alam mo naman, may mga sensitive dito na pwedeng ma-misinterpret ang post na ito as something negative towards Picanto.

    actually, naisip ko dati bat yung mga taxi operators hindi bumili ng fleet ng picantos since you still see a lot of kia pride taxis around, alam mo namang it'll survive the manila streets. karamihan naman ng sakay ng taxi 1 to 3 persons lang kaya oks na ang picanto.

    Pwede naman ang Picanto. But you have to put a roof load system on it. Masyado maliit ang trunk. Hindi kasya ang suitcase or a week's worth of groceries.

    Pero parang ayokong maging taxi driver ng Picanto. Kapag yun ang dala ko feeling ko makikipaghalikan ako sa mga pasahero, hehehe. Maluwag naman ang cabin for it's size, nasanay lang siguro ako sa mas malaking cabin.

    imho, it's a good choice, pero you'd miss out on some portions of the "market" -- e.g. tall people, barkadas who like to stuff themselves into a taxi, people who lug furniture/appliances

    hehe, onga no. doc otep, shoulder to shoulder na ba ang space between driver and passenger sa picanto?

    kung ako may ari ng taxi, ayaw ko magsakay ng barkada, 5 to 6 persons = wasak ang suspension.
