Taxi receipt

I just got my first receipt from a normal taxi cab here in Manila. I think that enabling taxis to issue receipts to their customers is a good development. The downside to this is that taxi fare costs about 30-35% more than it did before. However, I have always felt that taxi drivers earn too little; with a P600-800 and a 24-hour shift every other day (I struggle working 16 hours a day), their take-home pay allows them to just barely scrape by. So I think it's good that taxi drivers have a shot at earning a better living.
