Taxi is one of the
most convenient forms of transportation; however, some passengers have
been reported to be victimized by taxi drivers. It is important to be
aware of the safety precautions, especially if this involves a
foreign taxi. Below are some tips, so that being in a foreign will not
be that worrisome.
Look for cab stands. You
usually find them since they are where people are. They are usually safe
compared to those who just pass by. Drivers are licensed and they are
authorized to carry passengers. You should also look for similarities
to make sure that the taxi is from an existing company.
Check for legitimacy.
Legitimate taxis have the phone numbers on their company posted on the
door or roof as this is a form of advertising the company. Legitimate
taxis have taxi meter and a radio as well. This is a way of
communicating, so if you do not see a radio, do not get in. You should
also check for any form of identification. There should be a tag that
contains the name of the driver, his picture and the name and phone
number of the company where he works.
Have knowledge about your destination.
Though you are not totally familiar with the ways and your destination,
at least, know where you are going to. Do not be obvious that you
are totally lost and disoriented. Show confidence and be alert. Look
for landmarks to make sure that you are on the right way.
Secure your valuables.
Keep your bags close to you. As much as possible, do not show gadgets,
wallet, jewelry or other valuables to the driver. You should also check
if there is a door handle to be safe. As much as possible, do not ride
with someone else. It is not safe to share a taxi with a stranger.
That may be an accomplice of an illegitimate taxi and you and your
valuable may be at risk. If something happens, make sure whom to call.
Know how to dial emergency numbers.
