Sweden: just got out of ferry from Helsinki
Taxi: Taxi?
Me: Sure, how much is it going to be?
Taxi: by meter
Me: ok, but you drove there before, approximately how much?
Taxi: by meter
Me: nvm, I am going to order an uber (thinking: they can just set any price by meter, double, triple)
Uber: how much are you paying for this trip? I cancel and you pay me
Me: nope, let’s just go with uber
I am sorry. But the reason why uber exists is because taxi drivers are taking advantage and bumping the price all the time. Going to support uber/lyft/bolt and whatever is available in your country.
