The night charges do not bother me anymore, as it is the normal tariff i am getting all the time. It is the rudeness of the drivers that's is getting into my nerves. One nepalese driver once explained why "all" drivers do not want to switch on the meter as they take a passenger is because they dont have salaries. They do get salaries on their first 2 months, just to get familiar with the places here and from the 3rd month onwards they will be relying on commission. Like in a day, they will have to make 275qr (?) to pay to their offices as rent for the taxi that they are driving. Anything more than that will be for their pockets. So in this case, most of them want to secure first how much they want to make for that particular day, only after that they will start using the meter.

I for once a victim of these rude and arrogant drivers. I was already forced to get down in the middle of the hiway- I was already locked up once. One driver even tried to grab me. My bag was once grabbed.

And for that, i stopped using karwa taxi. In situations like i do not have a choice, I go sor Sydney Taxi, otherwise private taxi.
