There are many reasons people think taking a taxi is hazardous. But a TikTok post of smoke bellowing in its interiors while passengers sat calmy may have added another one. The area of the taxi, commonly called a "laptop" because of its flat surface, sometimes fits an extra passenger when another will disembark soon. This one was smoking hot.

Passengers were not really alarmed by the smoke in the taxi
