I can personally vouch that this is true. I traveled to Kiev in 2010 to present at the local PyCon. On the way back home to the airport my taxi was pulled over for "speeding" (he was not). The situation was resolved by an exchange of cash, no ticket necessary.
- charlesdm 10y agoDid you pay? Or the driver?
- ptico 10y agoIt was 7 years ago. We have all new patrol police, new government services, etc. Of course corruption still here, but things are changing. Hope you will visit this year's PyCon to ensure
- jbronn 10y agoLet me add that I loved Kiev during my visit. The taxi incident was the only encounter of corruption on my entire trip. It should be known that the US isn't immune to this graft either (e.g., my aunt passed her driving test in Chicago via a conveniently placed $20 bill).
