Everything About The ‘Chao Ni Ma’ Taxi Driver Who Was Fired By TransCab For Abusing Couple & Punching Car

Being a taxi driver not an easy job.

You have to work long hours, spend time stewing in traffic jams, and put up with annoying passengers.

So, it’s understandable if you’re stressed out and need to vent.

But instead of talking about his frustrations with friends or family, one taxi driver chose to take his frustrations out on those around him.

Over the course of a few days, two videos of two separate incidents emerged online showing an angry TransCab driver punching and kicking a car in one, and hurling vulgarities at a couple in the other.

First incident

The first incident occurred on Nov. 22  along Paterson Hill and was filmed by a fellow motorist. The 42-year-old taxi driver got out of his cab and started kicking and punching a car next to him. He also made rude gestures and tried to open the door to get to the driver, but was unsuccessful.

Here’s the video of the incident:

Second incident

The second incident occurred on Nov. 24 along Scotts Road. It involved the very same taxi driver, but this time he was shouting at a couple carrying a child.

An onlooker in the video mentioned that he had a weapon, and it looks like he was holding a foreign object in his hand.

It’s in this video where he shouted “Chao ni ma” at the lady carrying her child.

He’s certainly a charmer, isn’t he?

Here’s the video of the second incident:

Police investigating

The police later said on Twitter that they have established the identity of the driver and will be conducting further investigations.

Hi Suresh, the Police have established the identity of the 42-year-old male taxi driver involved in a case of road rage along Paterson Hill on 22 November 2019, and a case of criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt at 14 Scotts Road on 24 November 2019,

In their post, they said that the first incident has been classified as a road rage incident, while the second has been classified as a case of criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt.

One thing’s for sure, though. This guy has some anger issues. 

This cabbie needs to be punished for his actions or at the very least, taken off the roads. We have enough raging humans in traffic, we don’t need another.

Thankfully, TransCab terminated his contract, so at least passengers won’t have to put up with his belligerence anymore.

But would he become a Grab driver? Who knows.
