Doña Norma this time I offered mango juice as he always did. I said I felt I was with the previous letter, in that "indiscriminately attacked a group of humble and honest people whose only sin was having some atarvanes colleagues like that." I said nothing, we present excuses and when I left she ran from home.
"Look sir, look at this." I went home and appeared on the news headline that Mrs. Norma expected: one of the passengers victim of a severe beating by a group of taxi drivers, was with a criminal record for theft in Ibague.
I wonder if the fact of having been in jail paying a conviction for X or Y circumstance makes one object, for the rest of life, of being branded as a thief, thug or other status. It seems to pay the penalty for justice will never be enough, even though the person knows Christ, start a new life, get a decent job and let the criminal past forever be branded as the rest of his life as a thief and therefore any movement can be considered as an attempt to steal. Apparently
Dona Norma takes this position and justify the actions of the taxi drivers. How sad. I then do the opposite, if I'm told that taxi drivers altered their meters, handle as they are given want, provided their vehicles to commit crimes because all taxi drivers are a danger to me.
Obviously not, I can not take the attitude of Mrs. Norma, I can not be like my mother who walks worried that I take a taxi, I can not be one who believes that all passengers are thieves or that all taxi drivers are thieves.
Dona Norma's refusal to not to give the mango juice that she did for her son and for the "known clients" it motivated me to write this little note where rectify, ratify and extend certain things:
1. Complaints against taxi drivers not mean that we believe all taxi drivers are like those who were involved. No. That's what I made it very clear in the previous article. It is not fair that taxi drivers like Don Raul and others who are honest and honest with their work, pay for what some of his colleagues do.
2. Now, on the passenger side, not all passengers are thieves, QR6 (passenger suspicious.) The fact that a group of 4 friends get into a taxi and for any reason request a route change does not mean that Mr. conductor believe will be the victim of a theft.
3. Mistakenly my mom, and hundreds of other people, go paranoid and this paranoia and distrust all that is feeding the problem. If passengers do not trust the driver and he does not trust its passengers are lost.
Given this what we seek to justify is that at no time, the citizens who are outraged with what happened last week, we consider the taxi drivers as a plague or a danger to society, of course not. Seek is that they provide a public service I provide an efficient way, where taxi drivers work, affiliates, district administration and passenger each have their labor.
Respect between driver and passenger, the driver the right to receive payment of service and passenger to see you complain about bad service was rendered or presented irregularities in it. If I'm paying
because I was carrying and, ultimately, my money is that which holds that business, the least that I demand than take me to the place you need to safely and fast (if possible given the state of immobility and insecurity of our city), is that if this is not met and if for any reason, the driver in bad faith and wishing to take advantage of prices, to take other routes without my consent, etc. for I can complain and companies are obliged to meet these demands, it is your duty.
is why autoinvito me and I invite you to:
1. Do not start now wary of all taxis, but do not hesitate to point out when there are abuses. We as users in our right to complain and to demand good service in a respectful manner. (I recommend to visit this site: www.denunciealtaxista.com ).
2. And if you are a driver or as Doña Norma, who passes the ball to distrust the passenger, it does not. Just as we will not consider them all as bad drivers and potential perpetrators of theft, because you do not take action as unworthy of his colleagues took. It is never the solution .
3. Bogotá is a victim of insecurity but despite this, we must not let the paranoia, that all that encourages a greater insecurity.
Having said this, I hope Mrs. Norma invite me again mango juice to take my mother back and take a taxi without problem. Just as she solves this and other everyday problems get bigger, "do not tell my mother to use public transport" .
PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS:
I think that this blog has done many times emphasized this, but I repeat: This is a blog for ordinary people for ordinary people, we write to those who endure endless traffic jams for those who must endure groped on buses and hours until your Transmilenio come to those who mark the taxi meter units more strangely. We do it just to create a space discussion, a place where ideas and arguments, we discuss these issues of mobility and latest achievements acrescentar solutions instead of problems. All opinions are welcome, and here, though I is criminally and "can not stand the sight of" the Polo Democrático, does not mean accepting certain ideas of the party as valid and even support. And also not not be able to do or not have Peñalosa and his criticism of management, but that's another debate that concerns us here is not treated.
Although it is a blog focused on issues that occur in Bogotá, never too late for people from other cities in Colombia and even other countries, we visit, read, discuss, think and propose, which would be quite useful and enriching for all. Andrés Pérez
