I guess then we live in different cities
You guys amaze me!
What can I say!!
Their is nuthing in this world as "getting lucky"other than the few things such as the family, country, genes you are born to / with.
Bringing maths into play, simply by the number of times I take a taxi in a week..my so-called luck shud have worn out by now. Not to mention, that I have been coming to BA since 2007 for 2-3 months a year before I started living permananently here in mid 2012, been using taxis here since 2007, without a single complaint.
Being a world traveler myself having traveled over a 100 countries in my life time and perhaps taken a taxi in almost 90% of those countries, I guess I am just too aware of all bad possible things which can happen in a taxi of a unknown city!
Do you have to be argumentative all the time?

I only said that I have had a few problems, and that it happens enough to be aware of the potential issues.
[QUOTE]When compared to the total number of cab rides I've taken, it's insignificant but it does happen[/QUOTE]For fucks sake the taxi scams even made their way on to scam city [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha_soNGADMY[/URL] but since it didn't happen to you, it can't happen to anybody [B]regardless[/B] of the number of TV shows or legitimate travel sites that suggest the same precautions that I said. I never said they were the worst in the world, I didn't even say that they were the worst in S America, just that it can happen and a little awareness and common sense will keep it from happening to you.
Please feel free to post your asinine rebuttal I'm done with this.
