How is a tourist supposed to know this and avoid getting ripped off?
My brother lives there and explained to me how they can be identified, I otherwise would not have known.
- daenney 10y agoI don't think that problem is unique to Stockholm, plenty of other cities have that issue. Usually when I go to a new location, doing a Google search or two on these things proves helpful. The number plate stuff is on wikipedia and the VisitStockholm.com website for example: http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/Good-to-know/Getting-around/ http://www.visitstockholm.com/en/Good-to-know/Getting-around... has all the information on taxi's, how to recognise them, what the regulations around them are and other methods of getting around. A little bit of research upfront can spare you many unpleasant experiences no matter where you're going and regardless of if you know a local or not.
- Cyph0n 10y agoThe issue is that there is no meter on the "fake" taxis. In other countries, you can easily tell if you're being ripped off based on the meter. If it's off, then you can be 100% certain.
