Jolie Taxi

Is a song made famous by French singer Vanessa Paradis, while Malaysian taxi drivers have infamy stuck on them ever since Londoncabs.co.uk, named Kuala Taxi drivers, as the worst in the globe for over charging and cheating.
The Sun today, have an interesting article on how, the Taxi industry as we know it here, could collapse by as early as 2018 due to competition from  Grab and UBER .
The sector is losing about RM20 million a month due to better pricing, better cars provided by the car hailing apps.
UbEr and GRAB car drivers are generally polite and consumers know exactly how much they need to pay, even before entering the car.
The easy way, out is to provide individual licence to cab drivers, but it COULD end up to be a FATAL mistake, because  leopard's cannot CHANGE its SPOTS.
The better alternative, might be for TAXI firms to EMPLOY, people to drive their cabs, with monthly salary, EPF contributions and ALL.
