Taxi Receipt in the Philippines

Issuing taxi receipt is one of the excellent program of LTFRB. I know that most of us has a story to tell about having a bad experienced riding a taxi. Either the meter is so fast, the driver has an attitude, etc. Taxi receipt will definitely prevent drivers to cheat with their meters.

Under the program, taxi receipts must contain the name of the operator and taxi driver, the cab’s license plate, the passenger’s destination and the total fare paid.

My friend just rode a taxi issuing a taxi receipt. According to the driver the operator decided to get the meter now to avoid the inconvenience it's bound to bring once the LTFB formally announces in December that all cabs should have one. It cost P12,000 - 18,000 per unit. I know its a bit expensive but hey, operators you have a business, so putting this kind of meter is just an investment. i'm pretty sure that passengers prefer to ride in taxi with this type of meter.

Kudos to LTFRB and operators who already install this type of meter on their taxi/s.
