Taxi Service in Kuala Lumpur

During our one day tour to Singapore yesterday, we had a not so pleasant experience with the taxi service in KL, to and from the terminal of our chosen coach service. It may just be a coincidence but we felt the two taxi drivers we dealt with tried to take advantage of us by asking for higher than usual taxi fares. No big deal, though, because there are also taxis like that back in Manila and probably in other parts of the world.

I have found out that taxi rates in KL are a bit higher than in Manila. The flag down rate is RM3 for red taxis and RM6 for blue ones.

Hassle-Free Travel

In our efforts to have a hassle-free out-of-country travel this October, we’re doing things right. Compared to those people working in the private sector, it’s harder for government employees like us as we have to secure travel clearance first. The requirements for the travel clearance in our office take time to complete. That’s why we’re working on them as early as now.

This is our first time to travel abroad so we’re taking extra caution. We can’t afford to get into trouble at the Immigration. I’ve heard enough of those horrible Immigration experiences, the most recent of them was the case of two Pinoy bloggers who were accused of being drug mules in Bali, Indonesia. Really scary. I hope and pray we have a safe trip.
