Minimising the Stress: BKK Taxis

[Kyo]

Kyo+! You've used them over your beloved death traps?

So, there's a severe lag time to getting an Über?

I've used them twice heading towards the airport (one was a simple black Vios and the other a Camry), with no dramas, and once in a massive Friday night traffic jam for 7.2km, getting charged a grand total of 89 baht for a 53 minutes ride in a Honda Jazz.

I've had some success with Grab but their ETAs are hopeless because of BKK traffic in general. One guy listed as 3 mins away once took 21 minutes at Asok...

FROM BKK to Sukhumvit, Über or AOT?

FROM BKK to Sukhumvit, Über or AOT?

Just get AOT like the sane people do.

They had a 20% sale on for the return when booking the both on arrival a few weeks ago. I would think Uber and the like, as much as they will be choatic in Thailand as evidenced by Kyo's experience's, will be hurting AOT.

If you would re-read my previous statement, the first line was in the Uber context and actually positive. Grab had an issue, but they were still only 3-4x cheaper than your beloved AOTs.

I'd be surprised if Uber did not decimate the entire AOT fleet before long. Good riddance to poor pricing, even if it's 20% off!

Uber will undoubtedly affect AOT but if that means a cut in prices then I am all for it. If they threatened AOT's existence then bearing in mind who they are owned buy they'll find a way of 'hampering' the competition.

TiT, and you know how things work there.
