Drivers under the Thai Public Taxi Association wrote on the association's Facebook page, complaining about how the proliferation of electric trains has left many local taxis idle. The association, in particular, pointed the finger at the Yellow Line, which has reduced the number of taxi passengers due to its convenient interchanges with six other electric trains in the capital.
The association's Facebook post sparked a large response from the public, with many criticising taxi drivers as the root cause of their problems. People have lodged numerous complaints about the misconduct by some taxi drivers, such as refusing passengers, rejecting the use of fare meters, ejecting passengers during traffic congestion and favouring foreign tourists over Thai passengers.
