I don't even know what world you're describing right now. With issues like "the credit card machine is down" to a cab never showing up despite how many calls I made.. the last word I'd ever use to describe cabs is "predictable." Even today, post-Uber.
- listenallyall 7y agoCarry some freaking cash. "For decades" -- like, from the 1940s to the 2000s. Fares were predictable. Still are in fact, they are actually painted on the exterior of the cab itself. Maybe you've noticed?
- dantheman 7y agoTaxis have hacked meters forever, take longer routes, and 'forget to turn on the meter' or the 'meter is broken' even today. There's a reason taxis have a fixed fare to manhattan from the airport.
