supir taxi

Since i got back to jakarta about 2 weeks ago, Taxis have always been my dearest bestfriends.
My constant encounters with taxis have made me wonder about the drivers, yes, taxi drivers.

For those of you who don't know Jakarta, let me tell you something... The traffic jam is hella crazy over here, and for someone like me, I would rather ride the cab than drive while I'm here. Taxis play a big role in Jakarta's public transportation, and I bet most of the taxi drivers here have met quite many "interesting" people.

I'm talking about people who loves to made out in the cab, people who loves to talk, people who listens to his/her mp3 while inside the cab and sing out loud, people who are just quiet, illegal "night people", etc.

We tend to forget that the taxi drivers can actually listen to what we are saying/doing while we're inside the cab.

While...

The taxi drivers tends to act as if they don't realize (or maybe they really do ignore them) what his passengers are doing on the back seat. I like to think that maybe Taxi drivers are actually like psychologists, they know people's personality only by their one time encounter in his therapy session approaching some destination.

I've always wanted to do this project:
Me interviewing a large number of taxi drivers and asks them how they feel while they're on duty and meeting those "interesting people" and listening to their secrets.
I just haven't got the guts to do it.

It might be quite interesting to find out how the taxi drivers feel when they listen to his passenger's secrets and deal with it.

Hm...
