emybond if you read my comments i'm not totally against illegal taxis. I have mentioned that having them ON THE ROADS is a blessing for many. My issue with them is their behaviour at the Airports and Malls where they surround you asking for taxi's openly without fear of getting caught.

That being said i'd like to mention a nice incident i had with a nice filipino taxi guys. I got this sudden urge to grab a snack at 2 am. I get out to hop in my car and i see that its been blocked by some moron so i cant move it. But i'm really hungry so i decide to wait for a taxi. 15 mins nothing..so i decide to walk, the nearest grocery store is next to Hotshots for me and walking thats a good 30 mins. As i was like half way to the shop i see a karwa taxi and wave it down. He stops and when he came to know i have to go so close by he is like Ok i wont start the meter. I said no i have to be dropped back home as well, he was like No its ok no charge..so when i get to the shop i buy my stuff and i get him some thing to munch on as well. he dropped me home while we had a pleasant chat on the way and I actually tipped him 100 bucks out of the goodness of my Royal Heart. :P
