on duty signs...

what's with the on duty signs that i'm seeing on taxi cabs now?

Ewan ko nga eh. Parang redundant sa taxi sign sa ibabaw ng cabs and I don't see any use for it. Bagong pautot na naman yata ng LTFRB.

I think its a good thing. Para yung mga ibang taxi driver na pag ayaw yung destination ng potential passenger, eh di nila pwedeng sabihin na lunch break sila (when the On Duty) sign is displayed.

yup i think its a good idea

kelan kaya tayo matutulad sa cebu na kahit PhP 0.25 na sukli e ibinabalik ng tsuper? ang balita ko ay sa cebu daw, ilang complaints lang sa isang particular taxi ay tatanggalan agad ng franchise. sana maging ganun din dito sa MM.

OT: may pakulo pang "call LTFRB..." nakasulat sa jeep at taxi e wala naman sasagot kapag tinawagan mo

sa palagay ko, maaayos naman talaga ang trapiko kapag ginusto ng local government. ang kulit talaga ng PUV's. and that is a result IMHO of public utility drivers driving without any sort of accountability. kapag nakabangga kasi ang mga yan, ang palaging bukambibig, "wala pong perang pambayad." ang sagot dapat, "e ganun pala e di dapat ayus-ayusin mo ang pagmamaneho mo!"

hehehe, pakulo po yan ng fm radio station 101.9 alam mo na yan! pag merong "on duty" sign yung taxi e ibig sabihin naka-tune sya sa 101.9, so paparahin sya ng promo people nung radio station at pag naka-101.9 nga yung radio nya ay may free gasoline siya. di ko lang alam exact amount, P500 yata.

"ON DUTY" signs are not only a promo of a certain radio station. It is required by LTFRB on all taxi cabs in manila. This is to distinguish kung may pasahero yung taxi or wala. It's a good thing na meron din nito para di mo na titignan kung may pasahero sa loob ng taxi o wala. They have "OFF DUTY" and "ON DUTY" signs ready sa tabi ng mga drivers..

hmmmmm

it thought kapag naka ilaw ung taxi sign sa bubong ng taxi eh ibig sabihin, bakante ung taxi at pag walang ilaw meaning ocuupied, i think there's link between the taxi's meter and the taxi sign with light above the car (not sure)

once the driver strated the taxi meter the lights on the taxi sign as mentioned will turn off and pag stop nya ng meter, iilaw na ung taxi sign

kaya sa brake ligh, park light nga at signal light wala sila pakialam dun sa ilaw pa kaya ngt axi sign

mas ok ung digital LED sign sa windshield nung mga yellow taxi from airport

kaso madalas hindi gumagana yung sign na yun, kaya ang titingnan mo na lang yung loob ng taxi kung may pasahero o wala since hindi naman tinted ang mga taxi..
