I remember when I was in Russia back in 2205 and it was so much simpler than that. I just went to the edge of the road and raised my hand. within seconds a car pulled up. How much to go to the central bus station I asked. He quoted the price, I knew that I had the right change in my pocket because in Russia, you always keep mental track of what you have. I got in, we drove a few km to the station. I got the cash out of my pocket, handed it over and got out. Simple. Of course it was because in the uber-capitalist Russian Federation either there were no laws about taxis or everyone ignored them. Anyone needing to earn some spare cash offered people rides. Always round numbers in cash negotiated in advance. Simple.
