Is it because I use taxis in Europe that I have never experienced any of those when riding a taxi?
Here they all are required by law to have their cost stayed up front, printed on a sticker in the window.
Most of them have had apps for booking, with geolocation, ETA, and mobile payments for >10 years now.
Never had a single refusal, or complaint, or incorrect drop-off. Even in places which are lower class run-down areas.
They have always sent a wheelchair-compatible car when requested.
- Den_VR 1y agoMy experience with taxi in Italy (Napoli) was getting scammed by the driver and nearly missing my flight as he wanted to demand double fare because he had no guaranteed pickup from the Airport.
- cbdumas 1y agoMy taxi driver on my last time in France (in 2022 I believe) almost made us miss our train from Marseilles to Paris as he drove us around looking for an ATM because he insisted he "left his credit card reader at home". I do not miss taxis and their scummy drivers one bit.
