SPOT POLL

With taxis being exempt from Salik tolls from Dec 2, will you be more likely to use the service?

Absolutely, the low petrol price and lack of Salik makes taxis too cheap to ignore.
I would be more willing to travel in a cab knowing the Salik will not be charged.
No because it's the comfort of the vehicle and attitude of the driver that counts, not how cheap it is.
No way, most of the drivers are still rude and most times they refuse to pick you up anyway.
