"Just another rip off!" Top 5 Page for this destination Shah Alam Transportation Tip by robertgaz

Of all the great experiences I had in KL, not once was it with a taxi driver who tended to try and take advantage of this tourist.

Before coming here I did note some phone numbers from VT'ers who had recommended some taxi drivers in KL.

In her KL transportation tip, uysijessa wrote that Steve is the guy to call and I don't doubt for a minute that her experience was a good one.

Mine wasn't. I called Steve on his mobile as listed on uysijessa's tip and I got through straight away. I asked him to arrange a taxi to Shah Alam and he said it would cost RM80. I thought that it must be further there than what I believed so I accepted his quote.

Steve himself couldn't make the trip to Shah Alam as he was off to Melaka so he arranged another taxi for me. The other guy guy picked us up from our condo and within 45min we were in Shah Alam.

I protested that RM80 was too much for short-ish trip but he argued that I had already accepted the quote. I don't go back on my word so I had to (reluctantly) hand over the previously agreed fare.

Anyway, I will leave it to you to make your own decision on whether or not to contact Steve for a taxi.
