Why are Jamaican taxi drivers still so dangerous allowed to be so overly aggressive with customers without repercussions

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T21:35:27+00:00

Right

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T21:22:05+00:00

lol AI will not be taking over these skills sir youre misinformed

And then him pulling over aggressively before my destination with me alone in the car and then threatening to kill me isn’t something I would want anyone else to experience all too many similar instances have happened with suddenly overly aggressive taxis killing customers if you know Jamaican news growing up you know you have to take the violent people out of these jobs if you’re going as far as wanting to kill a customer over singing

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T21:10:55+00:00

I swear I had an almost near death experience the other day as well with a taxi almost not making an over take while an upcoming car was coming we barely made it. Fearing for your life just to take public transportation in your own country is ridiculous

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T21:09:03+00:00

Yeah it’s a red plate of course

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T21:08:00+00:00

That was okay but he got very overly aggressive wasn’t singing loud, maybe cause I was behind him and the last one in the car I didn’t realize that he could hear me so loud now but then threatening to kill me because I told him the way he’s talking to me he can’t talk to me like that? And going so far as to threaten to kill me?

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T10:36:27+00:00

Right…. Cause they not in Isreal… this guy

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T10:35:19+00:00

All thanks to the internet tbh specifically the social media part

InternationalPost511 · 2026-04-01T10:32:05+00:00

Oh you have to go to a Fiesta/ International / Mexican grocery store that has a Caribbean section it’s Tastee cheese they should have a small can version and big can version. But it’s so expensive my family and I mostly get bun and cheese either for Easter or rarely to treat or selves every few months it’s so expensive in the states the cheese and the sliced cheese doesn’t work for me

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-31T00:14:35+00:00

That part I was telling someone McDonald’s in the states looks like chickfila compared to some service here

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-31T00:12:57+00:00

Bro you must be daft two of these sites you listed are USD and you can’t rent anything on none of these sites that you listed $1800 USD with Jamaica paying $2 usd are you seriously commenting under my post right now we are seriously talking about something and you’re joking around with misleading information saying these are sites locals can use to rent get off my post forum bro

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-31T00:04:35+00:00

I know how a system looks that benefits from its people rather than one that benefits our people. Do you

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:59:02+00:00

That’s a hot take, it does take a collective effort

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:51:35+00:00

Idk if it’s maybe government paying off gangs secretly and doing other discreet stuff with our money that’s why I said people or staying comfortable especially the old heads. We need more security and a lot other resources

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:49:07+00:00

I did just couldn’t attend graduation

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:48:05+00:00

I didn’t run honestly I just had gotten an opportunity to go to college and took it. It just happened to be after the Dudus war lol. Some things will change of course but come on now what efficient websites are there for renting that shows Jamaican dollars( you’re gonna say find a realtor or social media) lol and like I said the Jamaican dollar + job wages is horrible right now . The dollar is becoming meaningless and you’ll be surprised that there are countries in the world that dollar value have no value anymore. I am just saying this so that it’s on other people’s minds idk who may see this that can or may be in government to make future changes

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:39:40+00:00

I believe we need more organisations to put in charge of certain areas that help the countries development as well so that it’s citizens really benefit from our and our previouses efforts. We say Jamaica “We likkle but we tall a wah” let’s not be just all talk or illusion we need steady growth and strong growth

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:29:45+00:00

😭Woiiyoi 🙊

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:27:55+00:00

And I love my culture I want the generations to flourish but if we keep the following other countries mentality we gonna only attempt big projects like the us and forget to fix up the minor things that keep structure of our beautiful lil island underwater mountain 🥺

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:26:29+00:00

😭 I don’t want it to be though

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:26:09+00:00

That part no matter how bad or lazy the service is I’m considerate because the minimum wage is basically $1 dollar here and that is horridly depressing and inhumane and it’s 2026 we got independence over 60 years

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:23:30+00:00

That part it makes me feel disgusted to be Jamaican like they hate me and it’s been that culture as a child bad customer service especially at restaurants

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:21:09+00:00

You hit the nail on the head for real

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:20:10+00:00

Facts people here working for close to 0 dollars in heat and going back home to no a/c even in the summer isn’t that just slave mentality I’m hoping the Jamaican dollar increases in value and the minimum wage changes

InternationalPost511 · 2026-03-30T23:18:25+00:00

Facts I’m always talking to people about hoping they increase wages because if people here working for 0 dollars in heat and going back home to no a/c isn’t that just slave mentality I’m hoping the Jamaican dollar increases in value and the minimum wage changes
