Posted in: Why are Tokyo cabbies so clueless? See in context
I believe the fella writing this commentary is in his peak "culture shock" period. We've all been there-- that period were seemingly routine things start to get on your nerves. Unfortunately, an editor should have stopped or toned down this before allowing it to get published...
Cabbies here ask "which route do you want to take" because some customers have preferred routes for commonly travels locations. I have actually seen a customer chew a cabbie a new a*hole for going a route that he deemed slower. Japanese customers are fickle and unforgiving, and this question is a response to that.
Expensive, yes. Poor service, not usually, but as for any industry in any country, the service is provided by people, who sometimes are not perfect.
I hope the commentator can take relax, have a beer and give the cabbies a bit of slack.
