Rant: bad experience with taxi drivers Hi all, something that I noticed very consistently is that whenever I have to take a taxi, the chance of having a negative experience is like 80%. The taxi driver will either totally screw me over with the price, unplug the meter, be agressive, be rude, will not drop me at the requested location, will not stick to the original price, etc. etc.. …

My current itinerary looks something l…

Then “confirm 2 push notifications in your bank application or enter the SMS code to complete the data verification. bl…
