TheWhiteKnight 1,153 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I think grab taxi makes them self unavailable on purpose, because as soon as you do a grab car there is someone ready instantly haha. Link to post Share on other sites
Boss Ross 117 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 walk down the side of the line up to the senior citizen loading area . walk down the side of the line up to the senior citizen loading area . Thanks again for this suggestion, it worked GREAT !!! We walked past a VERY long line, saw a small sign that said it was the place for Seniors, and people with disabilities. I asked if this was the place for seniors to get a taxi. The gal said YES, checked my birth year on my ID, and we got into the very next taxi. Looking at the line I am sure the wait would have been 1 hr 45 plus. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A_Simple_Man 6,198 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 checked my birth year on my ID What ID an what birth year were they looking for? Is everyone over 60 a senior? Could end up being a very long line if people catch on to that. Link to post Share on other sites
RogerDat 3,478 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I like it when they ask if I am a senior, but no one has ever carded me, so they are being polite. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyclone 44 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 is the airport bus up and running yet? Yeah, it has been operating for years now, I use it when I need to transfer terminals at NAIA. Link to post Share on other sites
A_Simple_Man 6,198 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah, it has been operating for years now, I use it when I need to transfer terminals at NAIA. A couple of months ago a taxi driver told me that I could take the Airport Bus to get out of the airport area (I think he said to go to EDSA but my memory is fuzzy on that) and then it is easy to get a taxi. Anyone tried that? Link to post Share on other sites

Contango 659 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) T3 over the last 7 months (4 times) yellow taxis between 6Pm and 9Pm it's a 1 hour + wait, after 11Pm a 5 minute wait...ignore all the touts as you're walking out the door, turn right and join the que, keep ignoring all the touts.
