150 Rf for a pickup trip what the ...?

its been reported that some taxi drivers are taking 150rf for a trip on the night market. what is wrong with people i understasnd that the petrol is expensive and all. but just like that taking high fees from people is unacceptable atleast they should publicly announce that they would do it. i wonder what the transport ministry will do about it. the rich gets richer and the poorer gets more poorer what has this country gone to http://www.jazeera.com.mv/posts/view/2990
