Dear Abdul Kader Mydeen,,
 
I have used your Al Million taxi services quite a times and your service levels are just falling from bad to worse
 
I travelled last week in your Cab i dont recollect the number but yes the Driver details I have as I took a copy of his ID
 
Driver - Mizanur Rehman, AMT 0911
 
I asked him to go by Meter he replies for such a small distance we dont put on Meter and that its better i dont pay him even 10 QAR he can drop me for free because her earns so much that he can afford many women like me
Is this the wau u train your drivers in a Royal place like Qatar?
 
Have ur men not been told how to respect women when we just asked for a Meter to be put on?
 
But I called up your office numbers and spoke to some Shafix and they gave me your email ids,I asked your number but they refused.
 
I wrote email to Al Million id [email protected] and see what they reply 2 me stating the driver will never do that and I am lying - 
 
Pl read alMillion reply
 

Dear Ms Tanya Shah,

First of all, we acknowledge the receipt of this email from you and are extremely sorry for any inconveniences caused to you in this regard.

We inquired with our call center agent Mr Shafiq and he mentioned that there were no calls in this regard and he has not shared the email ID's of Management as he even does not know about it.

We also inquired the driver as mentioned in your below email and he promises that he had never got into such action with anybody in his career with us in the last 2 years and we never had any customer complaints against this driver till date.

However, there could be some drivers who get into this kind of cheap behaviour due to their attitude and this spoils the image of the company in entirety.  

We regularly put our drivers under training / refresher Courses to deal with passengers in a polite and courteous manner.

We have received customer complaints about few drivers in the past and appropriate actions are taken against the drivers who misbehaved with customers as customers come with valid proof such as taxi meter receipt for the ride, vehicle number, pick up and drop location etc.

AL MILLION wants to be better than KARWA with our professional services in the hospitality industry and of course with the support of customers; However these are drivers who deal with passengers on daily basis and they have attitude issues.  

We try to identify good, smart and courteous drivers during interview and bring them down to Doha and we continuously impart training to them so that they do not get into such kinds of cheap behavioural issues with passengers.

What we would suggest is that you come and meet our customer complaint department executive Mr. Jaffar (70483121) and our Head of the Department of Taxi Division, Mr. Mubarak (70483444) and Mr. Joby (70483777) when you return back to Doha in Sep with the copy of driver's ID so that we can investigate this matter further with all concerned and arrive at a conclusion on this matter.

Please share your contact number so that we can keep in touch with you if in case it is required.

Hope the above clarifies your concerns in this regard.

Thanks & Regards,

Al Million Taxi Call Center,

800-55-00.

dear Ms. Shah, best thing is to go to police. They cannot reply by a bullshit email to police, like they did to you. Since the driver refused to give a bill, that itself is enough to go to police.

Taxi service is a joke here, get the limosine services, the drivers are much professional than these jokers in taxi cabs. But be prepared to pay 5 to 10 rials more... but it is worth it. I have regular guy who drives me and my family around, very friendly and trustworthy. He is never late and always on time. If you want I can pm his number to you.

Ms. Shah, good you got the drivers details, please follow up as they have requested.

Verma, I beg to differ with you. Some taxi drivers are good, some horrible. Some do not follow traffic rules or courtesy and argue even when at fault, either they do not know the rules or have issues. Some are very polite. And it does not matter which taxi co. in Qatar. Honestly, for me, when travelling in a taxi abroad or in Qatar, all taxi drivers have been very helpful. I drive a car so my issue is when these drivers drive as if there is no other car on the road and stop where they want, cut lanes. etc etc.
