Nightmare taxi ride from KLIA

Returning after our family holiday, we hired a licensed taxi from KLIA to take us home.

The taxi driver was chatting all the way with other taxi friends on high radio volume and guess what, running at a speed of 170 km per hour!

I remember the days when all KLIA taxis had to have their number plates pasted inside the taxi for the benefit of passengers but I could not find it in the taxi we were in.

During the whole journey of 45 minutes, my family and I had to endure the noisy chatting and most importantly, we felt unsafe with his reckless driving.

I would like the authorities to ensure that the lives of travellers are not endangered.

WORRIED FAMILY,

Petaling Jaya.
