In some examples, especially at the Southern Bus Terminal or when it is down-pouring, drivers will endeavor to set up a set cost instead of utilization the meter. These practices, nonetheless, are progressively uncommon as the telephone number of where to grumble is currently unmistakably shown in all taxis.

Motorbike Taxis
On for all intents and purposes each road corner in the city, you will see gatherings of men lolling about in splendidly hued vests promoting bars and different spots of business.
