In the video, Soobin and his friend calculated that their taxi fare would be 300 pesos ($17). At the airport, however, they agreed to take a taxi for 500 pesos, as the driver demanded.
\n
\u00a0
\n
Once they hopped into the taxi, however, the driver suddenly raised the fare to 1,000 pesos. The two passengers, Soobin and his friend, had to point out that the agreed-upon fare was 500 pesos.

\u00a0
\n
The driver and the two passengers settled on a fare of 500 pesos after a spat.

After Philippine local media reported what\u00a0was shown in Soobin\u2019s video, Manila’s state transportation authorities jumped in to take corrective measures.
\n
\u00a0
\n
Last Friday, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board\u00a0under the Philippines\u2019 Department of Transportation ordered the taxi driver to immediately return his driver\u2019s license and the vehicle\u2019s license plates. The agency also barred the driver from operating his business for 30 days as a preventive suspension.
\n
\u00a0
\n
The authority said the taxi driver excessively charged the fare and deliberately failed to use the meter during the trip, noting that such conduct had harmed the Philippines\u2019 international reputation.
\n
\u00a0
\n
The authority is currently reviewing measures to impose a criminal penalty and to confiscate the vehicle based on the investigation results.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
