5k 10k is not much for us. Just let them earn it won't hurt us right?
10K to you maybe nothing, but 10K difference every ride, 4-5 rides a day, daily, will you see the difference? Alot of taxi drivers know Singaporean are carrot heads, coz they act like carrot heads, thinking nevermind, just for this trip. From Batam centre ferry terminal to Nagoya, I never paid more than 25K. For short trips within Nagoya, max 10K day time, night time maybe 15K. There are alot more locals using taxi, and the taxi drivers know they can only chop "tourist", esp those looking for a good time for 2-3 days and can't be bothered with taxi fares. Well, if that's what one is thinking, then don't bother about prices and just enjoy your trip. But if want to enjoy the trip, please try not to feed those blood suckers too much till it all went into their heads. What makes the cewek think they MUST get tips, and MUST get the amount they want? It is all because many of the customers just let them have their way, and MADE it that way. If I book a cewek, and she is just not up to par for me to book her again, would I be bothered to satisfy her BIG tips? She can tell me how much her other abangs gave her. For all I care is how she performed, I will tip her according to that. If she really sucks, and give me that kind of attitude at the end of the day, I will just tell her get lost.
