My wife had a girls trip in Chicago. She made the error of just getting a "cab" and not using her UBER app. It turns out, what she got into was some kind of cab that didn't have a till. The driver was angry she didn't have cash, drove her around to an ATM, demanded $100, refused to let her have her items out of the trunk. Personally, I am no longer comfortable with her getting into cabs or non-uber black cars - it is becoming unsafe. If that driver decided to do something -- he would be off the grid.
- msellout 11y agoWhat that driver did was illegal. She could have called the police. It sounds like she was taken by some pirate taxi, not one from the taxi stand.
- ransom1538 11y agoYes. He probably preys on woman.
- Flammy 11y agoHello, non sequitur logical fallacy.
- enjo 11y agoThe cab didn't have a till, it was most definitely illegal but not because of the credit card. It was almost for sure an unlicensed cab...
- _asummers 11y agoI've taken a lot of cabs in Chicago. Sometimes I actually read the little "Bill of Rights" thing that they display. One of the things that they say is that you can always pay by credit card. http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/bacp/supp_info/2012_passenger_information.html http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/bacp/supp_info/20... Doesn't help now but she should have called 311 after taking down the driver info. If something like that ever happens again, she should do so and the driver will get into huge trouble with the city.
- Touche 11y agoHonestly, every time I take a taxi I'm just praying they are talkative. Because the quite ones scare the shit out of me.
