These past few months, people had been scared on riding a taxi. For every bad experience shared there is an equivalent for a good one.

This Taxi experience is different from other stories shared, this isn't about how rude or how bad the ride was but about how inspiring and heart-melting this experience is.

This story is shared on Facebook by Poy Yumping. A very inspiring story of a soldier who works at night as a taxi driver.

"I’m a disabled person and I want to share my great experience this morning with this taxi driver. Nag-aabang ako ng taxi with my Mom sa kanto namin dito sa Taguig. 5:00am dumaan si sir at agad namin pinara. Tinigilan niya kami at nagtanong kung saan kami papunta." Poy said. 

Poy told the driver that they were heading to Philippine Orthopedic Center.

the driver told Poy that he was about to end his shift that's why he won't be able to drive them to their destination but he offered them a free ride because he will just drop them off to a place near the Orthopedic Center.

When they got in, Poy then realized that the driver is a soldier. The driver was on his way to Camp Aguinaldo and works as a taxi driver at night to earn money for his three children on college, another one in highschool and his adopted daughter. At the end of their ride, Poy offered to pay for the ride but the driver refused to take it.

The soldier was said to be Mr. Elnar his cab plate number is UVA-164 Conqueror.
