In the beginning, I never understood why the meter ran so fast in some and why slow in some, until an honest driver told me about the 0 and 1 thing. 1 means 'Day' meter scale and 0 (Zero) means 'Night' meter scale. Those who do not know about this are the ones who get screwed and ending up paying more than half the usual price. Some even blacken the screen where this reading appears using black sticker or black marker pen. If you ask them to switch it to 1 from 0, he will either throw you a temper tantrum and give you a ear full, or simply lie to saying 'it won't switch'. Yeah right! What a bull!!
What the drivers are getting paid is not my problem. It is the company's problem. Why cannot they do it like Dubai Taxi's? The drivers end up taking their frustrations on us passengers and we are the ones having to take the brunt of it. We don't have a money plant at home either.
