MALAYSIA - A taxi driver who tried to charge nearly four times the going rate ended up being the one paying dearly - his passenger turned out to be a Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) officer.
Sinar Harian reported that the taxi driver had demanded RM15 (S$6.02) for a trip from Jalan Raja Chulan to the nearby Hotel Angkasa in Kuala Lumpur, which should cost RM4.60 (S$1.85) by meter.
He was among 16 taxi drivers nabbed for offences ranging from failure to use the meter, having an expired driving licence or for not even having a licence.
SPAD enforcement chief Datuk Che Hasni Che Ahmad said 13 officers and 60 personnel took part in the operation.
"Based on the operation, it is still the culture of taxi drivers not to use meters. This shows that enforcement needs to continue," he said.
Che Hasni said under Section 22 of the Road Transport Act, offenders could face a maximum RM500,000 (S$200,640) fine or two years' jail.
"Quite a number have been convicted and there are repeat offenders. In such cases, we usually increase the fines imposed," he said.
Meanwhile, six taxi drivers received tokens of appreciation from SPAD for their honesty.
