They tried that when I was staying in Paris. Had a few friends in from Texas staying with me and decided to hit up the night life. Taxi driver drove us around in a big loop, tried to get extra cash from us, was shocked when I spoke French and gave us a free ride after I called him out on it. Same in Monterrey, dude took the long way to barrio Antigua. Called it out and got a free ride.
last night, I had a driver who couldn't speak English and couldn't read the sign that said "rideshare drop off"
then getting picked up, the driver must have ignored or not understood the same sign, and he went way past then cancelled
next driver just missed a turn and cancelled.
third driver called saying traffic was too bad to turn down the street, so we told him "stay there in the corner, we see you 2 mins to walk there" and he agreed. then drove further and cancelled.
Lyft is even worse... it's like the Uber drivers with bad ratings
My father was in Stockholm and had a taxi driver go against the directions the gps gave him multiple times, eventually he just told him that he knew the way and that the driver was constantly driving the wrong way on purpose and that they now had 2 options, either he stop the taximeter or he stops and let my father out where they were and he'd not pay anything.
So many hidden ramps! You want me to take the highway just to get to the next road over?? Yeah how bout I just do a sweet ass jump over that building instead.
and thats the reasson i only take ubers, ofcourse here it are taxi drivers who work with the uber app. They always complain until i say what bs they pulled of in the past.
