Its president, Badrol Hisham, also said it was true that taxi services in KL are the worst since the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) also concurs with this assessment. "Nonetheless, SPAD's involvement with taxi associations is at a minimum, and anyone can be a taxi driver, even ex-convicts," he added. Badrol believes its time for SPAD to tighten the screening process of taxi drivers and not be lenient in giving out licenses. "SPAD should give more intensive training for taxi drivers to improve their attitude and services," he laments. The website, London Cabs, states that in its "10 Countries with the Worst Drivers list," KL cabbies often overcharged customers by refusing to use the meter or by taking longer routes intentionally. Interestingly, Rome's taxi drivers came in second and those in Bangkok were in third place.
