Terengganu's Taxi: A Good Attempt to be Different

If you come to Terengganu, you will notice that Terengganu's taxi has a few colours that are different from other states. Airport taxi is blue and white in colour while the town taxi is yellow and black in colour.

 Blue and white airport taxi at the arrival hall.
Airport taxi is stationed at Sultan Mahmud Airport in Telaga Batin at the ground floor at the exit of the arrival hall. Before you get your taxi, you need to buy the coupon first at the counter which is located at the arrival hall. You can choose to rent the car or buy the coupon to go to your destination.
The taxi parking area waiting to ferry passengers to all places in Peninsular Malaysia.
For the local taxis, there are stationed in the town centre near the bus station. You have to be careful with the fare as some do not use the meter. Ask first before you go in. You can call the taxi to take you to the airport.

One interesting point to look at is the logo of the local taxi has a motto "Terengganu Hebat" (trans: the Mighty Terengganu? ). The motto is nice and if all the drivers follow rules and etiquette of good driving and play a good host, certainly more people are confident with their service. This will bring more business for them.
The motto: Terengganu Hebat, No Contraints but Opportunity...is written on the front doors.

Next time when you are in Terengganu, look for this taxi to bring you around. Happy travelling.
