TAXI racket at NAIA 1 airport ... do not be scammed!

[ghosthunter]

Here is something I got from my facebook account...

Here's a racket I experienced at NAIA 1:

If you think airport taxi rates are exorbitant and you plan to take a regular metered cab at the departure area so you can save, well think twice. Or at least be wary of a new modus operandi some preying taxi drivers now employ.

Once you step out of the departure exit to look for a cab which just dropped off a departing passenger, be on the look out for a guy who acts like he knows you, waving you to take a cab that just happens to be free at the time.

Apparently, their tactic is for the barker to lead the arriving passenger into a cab, even opening the trunk for you so you'd put all your stuff at the back. Then once you get in, the guy sits in the front passenger seat with you in the cab. Irregular, yes but you may think the tall guy was just hitching a ride to the exit. Moments later, as you head down the ramp, the barker hands you a laminated rate card of the Airport Taxi service. Wait a minute, this was supposed to be a metered taxi ride, right? Hence why you went to the departure area to get a departing cab. There was nothing on the taxi to say it was an Airport Taxi, and those are only available at the arrival area. Moreover, these guys don't even have a receipt! .......

Ganito nangyari samin sa Terminal 3 naman, almost same modus.. May mineet kami sa arrival area to claim some padala from kamag-anak. After that, we took a cab from the departure area so we can avoid the Yellow airport taxi's which are far more expensive than the ordinary. No one assisted us, nakapila kasi yung white taxi so we presumed na metered sya. We said Cubao, pumayag si driver. Then we noticed hindi nya pinindot yung metro and proceeded pababa ng ramp. So nagtanong na ko bakit di sya nagmemetro, biglang inabot ng driver yung "menu" na kesyo approved daw ng LTFRB.. nasa 1.5k hanggang Cubao. So nagalit na ko at nakipagtalo, in the end we had no choice but bumaba ng Coastal Road para lumipat ng ibang taxi.. Terminal 3 to Coastal road costs us Php 500.. EMP Transport yung company ng taxi plate number TXH 875

From that day on we never took any EMP Taxi's and asked our friends to do the same.

Lahat ng Airport taxis,- puro sobra ang singil, mapa T1, T2 o T3...Nakakadismaya....

Kaya ako,- pasundo na lang ako,- o kung walang makakasundo dahil alanganin ang oras... May contact na lang akong taxi at ipaparadyo ko na lang sa security ang plate number niya para siya papasukin....

Saan ka bang terminal sumakay bro? At kailan?

Napakamura naman ng P180 na singil sa iyo... Taga LPC rin kasi ako, kaya alam ko ang rates ng (at least) T1, T2 airport taxis going to LPC...

Sabi nga ni TS,- Coastal Road lang P500 na....

I regularly fly and the same operators are in all the 3 terminals. You have the coupon taxi cabs which are fixed rate and are computed by the area one is heading to. The yellow taxi cabs are the ones who have metres that run really fast. The white unmarked cars charge the most and they are the most aggressive as they push their services as soon as you come out. I believe these guys have the strongest backers. I take the coupon taxis since they charge a fixed rate and you're made aware of the price before you et in their taxi cabs. The yellow metred taxis and the white unmarked taxis are unscrupulous. I hope they get kicked out of the airport.

We tried taking those coupon taxi cabs way way back. Not really sure how they computed the fare but apparently it costs around Php420++ from NAIA-2 to La Salle. Lumagpas daw sa border or something. Mind you this was a long time ago, baka nasa 600 na ngayon.

It might be a good idea to just walk out of NAIA and get a taxi...kaso pag nakitang madami kang bagahe e gaganchuhin ka rin.

i still think yung metered taxi w/ 70-peso flagdown is still the best deal. Kaso yung nga, di lahat ng terminals meron. Pwede rin siguro tumawag ng taxi, then meet na lang outside, pero hassle na especially if you have 30+kilos baggage

What I do before is hop on a white taxi just to go to MOA and from there take another cab to my destination. That way, I don't pay as much kahit pa sabihin ng driver kontrata.
