The Best Place to find Cabs and Taxis in Klang
This post is inspired by the fact that MyTeksi just grabbed a whopping $250m in Series D! Another Malaysian Entrepreneur to be in every newspaper for the next year. :)Â
I take taxi once every 2 weeks from Klang to Sunway and Sunway to Klang, because as a bootstrapping entrepreneur, living in Klang is cheaper than living in Singapore, but my customers are there, so bohhuat (no choice) have to travel back and forth.Â
I love the MyTeksi app but the Klang taxi drivers are real gangsters, after they win the bid, they will call you and start haggering. So after a few tries, I finally found 2 taxi drivers that I have tried and don't mind paying
Jay - 0163310718 - Jay is a super honest cab driver that goes by the meter and he is safe (PS. He has a wife and kid he loves so much and talks about all the time). He is also quite entertaining, he can talk on and on about the Indian culture, Indian Gods, Hinduism, Social casting in the Indian society and so much more... I always get out of the cab so much more knowledgable. He even told me where the best Banana Leaf rice is in Klang. :)Â
Besides Jay, there is Jeffri - 0163060622. Much like Jay, Jeffri is safe and his car is newer. However, Jeffri plays a Quran type channel in his car so unless you want to hear the Quran chanted all throughout the journey, dont get on his cab. He is one who would hagger but he is fairly reasonable still.Â
Besides Jay & Jeffri, a few places you can look for cabs are:
1. At Premiere Hotel, Bukit Tinggi 1
2. Aeon Bukit Tinggi, at the entrance facing Bandar Botanic.Â
Any other friendly taxi drivers to recommend, please let me know. The more the better!Â
