I never met more scammier taxi drivers than in Sydney.
Once you stated you destination they would always ask which way you wanted to go in order to check if you knew the way. If I didn't they would almost always take a longer route than necessary. From the airport on a quiet day I would say don't take the tunnel I don't want to pay toll. They would sometimes take it anyway despite my instructions and we would then have an argument because I refused to pay. You can be sure many people don't. Worst taxis ever.
- jacquesm 12y agoAmsterdam is very bad as well.
- vincentleeuwen 12y agoEcho that. I think a "regulated" taxi driver actually killed a tourist a few years ago.
- CaptainZapp 12y agoNever been to Prague then? While it got a lot better I remember my first ride in 2006 from the airport into town. The cabbie was texting away while rushing down the autobahn with 160 (km/h). Scary. At least he only overcharged me by about 50%, which wasn't too bad for Prague at that time.
- jahnu 12y agoYeah they are infamous. Budapest isn't any better. Funny story involving Prague mayor... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4175143.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4175143.stm
