international recognition or rather, infamy for their bad attitude.
British taxi comparison site LondonCabs.co.uk has placed
Kuala Lumpur taxi drivers at the top of a list comparing the 10 worst taxi
drivers across the globe.
"Drivers from Kuala Lumpur are well known for overcharging
clients and detouring.
"Even though they are supposed to charge by the meter,
many drivers refuse from doing so," said LondonCabs.
"The best advice is to simply wait for another vehicle
if the driver resists using the meter," it said.
The article further described taxis in Kuala Lumpur as

Rome's taxi drivers came in second after Kuala Lumpur for
their exorbitant rates and rudeness.
"Most people cannot even find a vehicle available in
Rome. Cars are scarce and the drivers are often rude and difficult to deal
with," said LondonCabs.
"If it's raining, expect to pay double or triple the
price for a vehicle in Rome," it added.
Bangkok minicab drivers came in third in the list for
drivers getting lost and not knowing the way.
Other cities that made the list were Paris, New York,
Mumbai, Zurich, Cairo, Shanghai and Moscow.
LondonCabs said the 10 places listed had taxis that
