Every day, seven people enjoy a 'free' ride when they flee without paying the cab fare.

And these are just the ones known about because they are reported by two of the bigger taxi companies here.

Many more cases go unreported because cabbies do not see the point of going to the police when they do not have details of the passengers.

Mr Ramli Suri, 49, a cabby for the last four years said: 'If he runs off and the fare is $6 or $7, I don't have time to waste chasing him down. I'd rather just move along to the next passenger.'
