Of Too Much Public Transport

You know when you have been taking too many cabs lately when:

(a) the cab driver knows where you stay without even mentioning it to him. Apparently, he had sent me home THREE times already!

(b) cab drivers honk at you because they recognise you yesterday or the day before and were probably wondering if you want a lift today too.

(c) your knowledge of Cantonese is only limited to directions

(d) you know when a cab driver is over-charging you, undercharging you, which colour cab has better service, which has the radio, which drivers are fun, which aren't, etc.

This is just me, being to lazy to take the bus!

so, do you get special rates or some frequent rider discount from those drivers?

Dear humraaz,

Unfortunately, NO! (I don't know them THAT well - sigh!)

Dear John,

Fortunately, NO! (what were you thinking?)

Anyway, thanks for dropping by.

Dear YingKs,

If only I did. Then I wouldn't have wasted all that time waiting for a cab to turn up.
