Uber Thanks to Uber!

Every time my husband and I go to Manila, it makes me nervous as I am scared to ride taxis nowadays. This is because of all the bad news I have read online and also some of the bad experience I had with them in the past. Nowadays, we rarely encounter taxi drivers who don't ask for tips which I think is ridiculous considering Philippines is not a tipping country. They often say, "dagdagan nyo na lang,traffic kasi" ( add some amount because of traffic). Come to think of it, if they're time is wasted because of traffic, so the passengers! Riding other public transportation such as jeepneys or buses is not also a good option especially when we carry a long of things with us. 

My friends are Uber users and they have told me how convenient and safe it is. My husband and I tried it once with my friends and yes it was very convenient. The last time we traveled to Manila, we decided to use Uber as we don't know how to get to the place. God knows taxis will roam as around if they know we are not aware of the place! That was the time I can say that it is really convenient and safe!

Because of this my entire stay in the city was awesome. I may not be a person who loves going out but when I do I want to maximize my time outside. I want to go to many places as much as I could. This also lessens my fear in traveling to the city. I know that there are still flaws of Uber but at least it is less than what I had experienced with taxis.

I just hope that this convenience won't be taken away from us. Also I hope it will be available nationwide. LOL
