A metered taxi, I thought grab was an app.

It is, but it is looking more and more it is just a dispatcher less taxi service, but I am probably wrong

My friend who lives in Manila is complaining about how long Grab takes to get to his house.He said he never had this problem before.

I gave up on Grab last Friday. I spent well over an hour trying to get a cab but no drivers were available. Also regular taxis,7 in a row refused to take me on the meter and most wanted 500 peso for what is about a 150 peso trip. I ended up paying 100 peso plus the meter rate. Later at night again I couldn't get a Grab. 

I also find 90% of the taxis at Buendia refuse to put the meter on. I never get in without the meter

I know you can report them but all that happens is you waste a phone call.

Notice to all long noses: when wanting a taxi, duck into a shop front and let your partner grab the taxi, they rarely try to rip a PI off, then let her haggle the price. :whistling:
