If you're from Manila and you're used to getting a cab, then this will drive you nuts!
Upon coming from Bohol, we landed on the port of Cebu. Because we were looking like tourists, we expected to be treated like tourists. But, as it turned out, the taxi drivers in that area are notorious.
We tried riding a number of them, but they didn't want to flag down the meter. Instead, they were charging us exorbitant prices. think of thieves in sheep's clothing! My God, I hate to say this, but I never experienced this in Manila! If a driver in Manila tells you that he doesn't wanna flag down his meter and gives you a fixed price, just tell them that you'll report them to MMDA or LTO and they start shitting their pants!
But the taxi drivers of Cebu are the worst! No fear, baby! Just a contract price! They remind me of bounty hunters.
Oh, and another fact: if you didn't agree with their price, they'll call you, "Tagalog!" Ain't that the greatest insult? And I'm not even Tagalog! I was embarrassed for my friends!
That's why I've been very hesitant to bring friends of mine back there again. Taxi drivers there are rude!
Addendum: I'm not saying that everybody there is rude. Just the taxi drivers, mind you. So if you plan to go there, don't say we didn't ward you!
