Yes. Outside of a few markets in the US it was a gamble to get a cab at any price. You'd call and it would be something like "30-45 minutes" and then an hour later you'd call again and hear the same thing. And this just on a regular night, forget about it if there's an event going on.
- ghaff 8y agoFair enough. I admit to rarely taking cabs (especially outside of standard traveler routes, e.g. airport to hotel) even when I'm traveling, as I do frequently, so I don't have a lot of experience.
