Passengers can report abusive cab drivers to the DOTC Action Center/Hotline 7890. If using a cell phone, dial 027890.
During the Christmas season, some taxi drivers either refuse to take passengers or charge them a fixed rate instead of using their meters.
Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza yesterday said these abusive taxi drivers will face sanctions such as cancellation of their licenses and the operators’ franchises.
Mendoza issued the warning after receiving reports that many abusive taxi are contracting passengers.
“During the holiday season and ordinary days, we should not take advantage of the influx of people who would be needing taxis,” Mendoza said.
“Taxi drivers are mandated to plug down their taxi meters and accommodate all passengers.
“They should do a service to our countrymen by not being choosy and by not implementing the contracting system,” he added.
