On taxi fares and me, as a commuter

Taxis or cabs had been the most convenient way to bring me from and to a place I want. When I was working in a call center, it has been, most of the time my transport to work. I would say 95% of my transport was done through a cab.
Many a times, I was able to interview drivers. talk to them about current issues and argue about the fare and turning the meter on. There are drivers who are really rude. Yet most of the drivers I encountered were nice. Few, overly nice. Common denominator that we talk about  are the amount of boundery, the price of diesel, where others use LPG, and time of work.
People from the metro also praise taxi drivers when they visit my hometown in Baguio. Comments include non-air conditioned cabs and drivers who gives change up to the last centavo.
Lately though, LTFRB informed the public of lower flagdown rates, and longer waiting time.

As a commuter, I should be happy about it..
It has not been the case though. Thinking that the driver has family to feed, children to send to school, bounderies, electricity, water bills and rent to pay. This decrease is too much. It may have been fair if LTFRB can provide excellent service, provide license and plate numbers that has been long overdue. It may have been fair if price in the market, tuition fees, and utility bills are lowered as well.
