Greg and Ed discuss a topic first brought up in a bonus show back in season 2: what to do about taxi drivers who won't take you where you want to go? Although there are no doubt many larger problems in Thailand, on a day to day basis, perhaps recalcitrant taxi drivers are the most annoying. Ed runs through a gamut of possible solutions. The first is simply to somehow enforce the current law, which already requires taxis to accept all riders. The guys admit that simple enforcement may be the biggest obstacle to overcome, because no solution is viable without it. But Ed has some twists that could be added to the current regulations. Why not have two types of cabs, one that must accept all riders that gets paid at a higher rate, and one that can deny riders but gets a lower rate? Greg and Ed debate the pros and cons of this solution. Another option would be to simply allow drivers to switch the color of their light during the last hour of their ride, signally that they now have the right to refuse riders. Greg then brings up one of Ed's old ideas, to put a QR code on all taxis that would allow for a proper feedback system for all cabs in Bangkok. That way before getting in, you would know the driver's reputation for accepting riders. Are these ideas all pie in the sky? Well, maybe, but as that old great funk song says, you have to free your mind before your ass can follow. :) Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.
