I travel frequently at paminsan-minsan lang ako nagpapasundo sa airport at mostly handcarry lang naman dala ko. di ako sumasakay sa yellow cab taxi, di rin ako sumasakay kapag ayaw gumamit ng metro yung taxi driver. sa departure area din ako sumasakay instead na sa arrival, sakay lang sa elevator paakyat sa departure. mas madali sumakay sa departure area sa mga taxi na nagbababa ng pasahero.

yung mga yellow cab ang mga garapal at gago diyan, kapag nagkamali ka ng sakay ay nakametro din yan. hahayaan ka muna nakasakay at kukwentuhan ka pa, bandang huli iaabot sayo yung $ rate nila. nagkamali din ako minsan kasama misis ko at nakasakay sa kanila, nag-away kami ng driver at muntik nagkasakitan. bumaba na lang kami at binayaran lang kung anong nasa metro niya

[povillo]

Sana maaksiyunan din ito ng whoever concern. Ganito din ang gawi ng mga taxi driver sa KL at Bangkok but this countries have Trains servicing Airport to city center. Hinde lang foreign tourist ang kawawa locals din coming from the province.

Wala na ba yung bus sa gilid d ng terminal 1? Dati pag wala naman akong hatak na maleta, baba ako sa gilid, may bus na naghihintay dun. Baba ako sa LRT at dun ako nagtataxi.

Got back from Cebu recently. Di ko naman na experience yung sinabi ng TS, pero halos lahat ng taxi na nakaabang dun sa NAIA-1 departure nangongontrata -- something like 350 - 400 from NAIA to Vito Cruz.

Nagpatawag ako ng taxi sa security guard, akala ko makaiwas na ako sa nangongontrata. i realized too late that the taxi had its meter off, kaya ayun, nangontrata din. Since i had over 30 kilos of baggage e pumayag na lang ako.

Contrast this with the setup at NAIA-3; a while ago we had to take a cab home since we couldn't fit in our sundo's car. Bandang Dec. 30 or 31 pa nun, nagpunta kami dun sa metered taxi terminal na me +70 pesos flagdown. No muss, no fuss. Sana ganun din sa NAIA-1 but i seriously, seriously doubt it for some reason.

Someone told me that the reason for the different rate of the yellow airport taxicabs is that they cannot get passengers outside of the airport. So, after bringing their passenger to their destination, return to airport terminal sila.

Lame reason, IMHO. Pare-pareho lang ang franchise ng mga yan.

[_Qwerty_]

just get the taxi with fixed rate per destination.. don pa lang makikita mo na magkano per area.. medyo mahal sya.. pero hindi ka naman maloloko..

[n5110]

meron din garapal dito sa fixed rate na white colored airport shuttle. lalo na pag foreigner ang sasakay. nung 1 time nag charge ng 3000 plus going to calamba hinde pa kasama toll dyan, big car ang chinarge bwiset talaga. second time na may bisita kami nag inquire na ako sa nissan taxi at sinabi ko sa pasahero na ito lang ang dapat bayaran ayun mga 2000 plus lang with toll na.

minsan na rin ako nakipag away sa yellow taxi dahil sa over charge. hinde na sya nakahirit nung sinabi ko 300 to 350 max lang binabayaran ko. singilin ba ako ng 600 eh wala pa nga traffic. kelan kaya titigil ito bulot na pang gagag0 ng mga taxi na ito. nakakhiya.

yup, it's a lame excuse. dapat talaga pagsakay palang ng pasahero, sabihin na nila agad na airport taxi sila at yung rate nila na $ instead na kapag malapit ka na sa destination mo saka nila ilalabas yung laminated list ng rates nila. panloloko talaga yung ginagawa nila. kaya yung ibang ofw kesa makipag-away napipilitan magbayad

ok din yung fixed rate taxi sa may arrival area nasubukan ko na rin. imo, reasonable yung rate nila. meron sila list ng rates base sa destination mo at nakapaskel na sa wall. babayaran mo na rin then may resibo ka. pagbaba mo wala ka na babayaran unless gusto mo bigyan ng tip yung driver.

pero nung nasubukan ko umakyat sa departure at dun sumakay, never na ako bumaba sa arrival. kahit kapag nagpasundo ako sa departure din labas ko tambay muna si misis at kids sa may convienence store sa may gas station sa park n fly, kapag nakalapag na ako, text na punta na rin sila sa departure. paglabas ko eksakto lang nandun na rin sila, walang hassle

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

[Altis6453]

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.

[cast_no_shadow]

Got victimized sa terminal 2, sa departure area din ako sumakay. Pag upo ko andar agad si manong not knowing deads ang metro. Eh andami ko dala no choice but to give in sa kontrata.

Yung airport taxi naman sinundo ko yung pinsan ko tapos derecho siya pa-mindoro the white airport taxi charged him 3k(airport to batangas pier) then sagot niya toll. Not bad na din. Sabi ko kesa ipang gas at toll ko yung pera kumuha na lang siya airport taxi.

My niece coming from Butuan navictimized ng Taxi sa NAIA3. Dun pa siya kumuha ng taxi sa Departure area. Di pa nakakapasok ng Subdivision namin hinihingan na agad siya ng P800 dahil sa takot bumaba nlang siya sa Gate. Sabi ko sana nagpahatid na lang hanggang bahay, then ipahold natin sa Gate or kunin yung details ng Taxi.

[Monseratto]

Didn't take long for the LTFRB to experience it first hand... tapos nahuli pa ung broadcast ng mga ogags warning about the LTFRB operations.

[falken]

Even if the increased taxi rates are implemented. These greedy vultures will still be resorting to kontrata at an even higher rate.

kahit tumaas pasahe they will still find reasons para makapan loko ng commuter.

LTFRB really wanted to catch kontrata so they went to the place na sigurado may nangongontrata -- the airport

100% may mahuhuli sila

they'd have less chance to catch kontrata kung sa mga mall sila kumuha ng taxi lalo kung hindi kalayuan ang biyahe

pero try nila kumuha ng taxi sa MOA papunta QC

sasabihin ng driver P300 imbes na using the meter
