took the tuk tuk to town tonight

Got off the sky train and the usual motorcycle taxi took the night off and the bus stop was a distance away - and there was a tuk tuk. i hardly take tuk tuk, it's one of those transport mode that doesn't make sense when you've gone through the novelty stage. motorcycle taxi is small enough to speed you through the congested traffic, taxi you get some comfort of a/c chamber. tuk tuk is pricy, stuck in traffic like any other car only you get to suck up the pollution.

logically i don't get these 'fee base' drivers. they don't get pay more than before if they drive fast. i mean i like speed, but in traffi filled street, driving fast only to break even harder don't make sense. Instead of getting tuned with the traffic rythm, so they would get the most milage for the o-so-expensive gas (and break pad). afterall gas price is directly effecting their bread and butter you know.

that said, i must admit that the only fun part about tuk tuk is the zig-zack-zoom-zoom-i-got-attitude driving style.
