PETALING JAYA, Sept 30 ― There has been a taxi racket going on for years at the Kelana Jaya LRT station, the terminal station of the LRT (light rail transit) system in the Klang Valley. The drivers refuse to use their meters, charge exorbitant fees, and wait until they have at least two or three separately-paying passengers before they will even agree to ‘taking a fare.’

They’re all in it. Any honest taxi driver who comes into the station and refuses to play the game is driven off.

The authorities are not blind, and once in a blue moon will go in and enforce the law. The taxi drivers then boycott the LRT station for a few weeks, leaving many passengers who miss the last bus stranded. ― Digital News Asia
