well maybe am lucky but I find the service ok. Never stand around long for taxi and I think they are cheap. But once I was offered by a driver to take me to the desert for you know what and had to beg h im to take me home. Scared the hell outa me and now I would never take a taxi alone again. So just beware ladies.

People are people, they will always expect things to be perfect, and that is the only hope we have of making the world a better place, if we were to just sit back and accept everything that's thrown at us, trust me, it could be a lot worse. So complaining about people only know how to crib is a paradox to me...

i think thts wots called not being satisfied.. the human nature of not being satisfied with wot he has has lead to all the new discoviries and inventions... and thts gud..
but i can bet thr r ppl who can only complain and complain and compalin and do or try nothin themselves to improve the problem... and thts called whinging ..

Absolutely, agree with you, but the whole point of the poll being not to whine about the state of Dubai Taxi drivers personally, but more the system that runs it. If there is bad construction in your building, you don't go about sympathising with the poor construction workers, and thereby accept the poor quality, right ?

Nicholas Where did U find the Whine.......Learn wht Whining means first

the reason u Conduct a Poll Is to find out where it is Wrong......If its the System then the Drivers r a HUGE part of it.......

How come ur thread dint ask Abt the Taxi System.......But u asked abt the Taxi's

I blame the taxi company and some of the taxi drivers !!

I can anderstand they are not paid well but hey they ve dicided too !!
I m not complaining to my client because I had a bad day or lost an other contract ! work is work !!!

And still sometime they treat u like shit and are made cause u re not going really far away or even my collegue, she s black and some of them don t stop for her !!!!! can u believe that ??

And I blame the company cause they don t do anough tranning with the drivers ! once the driver told me "it s my first day I ve landed 3 weeks ago" so I decided to tell him the name of most of the building on the way ( didn t mind) but still it s not my job !

And then I m ssure lots of customers are being mean and complain but hey it is the company !!!


so yes it s the company and some of the drivers's fault !!!

I guess most of the problems occur because there are lesser taxi's as compared to the number of passengers. And secondly because of lesser alternatives to Taxi's.

Chery: sorry about your taxi ordeal.thats horrible.

if there were private taxi companies operating in UAE, it would take away profits of Shykh owned taxi businesses.

I think, if taxi companies stop demanding a daily return, and ask a weekly return it would make taxi operating hours a lot more flexible. During certain times of the day, you cannot find any taxi because they are all rushing to submit a daily quota before the office closes down. Their priority is to get to the office, before a fine is levied on them, and NOT THE PASSENGER.

Secondly, the amount of money to submit in a week must be lowered by at least 5%.

thirdly, Taxi drivers should be fined, if they DO NOT accept at least 2 dispatches per day. I have seen too many taxi drivers avoid dispatch notifications as a habit. This is assuming that dispatch calls are made using intelligent GPS to locate closes cabs to the passenger waiting.

add 300 more taxis in dubai

Am sure am not the only one it happens too but self preservation came first not their plates or colour of the car and it was dark. I am just lucky to be alive and thats all I cared about at the time. Happens all over the world I guess. I carry a small defensive in my bag now and in my car. My message is this NEVER take a taxi late at night on your OWN espeically women.
