How the hell can you end up paying the wrong price. There is a leaflet in the taxi itself explaining pricing, and there is a taximeter. And no expectation of tipping. Also prominently displayed is the number to call if something is wrong. F

Not in Paris. The independents still paying their medallion ("plaque de taxi", valued at about 240k €) are strangled by debt, and those that are employee are barely above minimum wage. It's pretty obvious to everyone that dr
