I knew a woman who frequently travelled by air. One time she got a taxi at the airport, and the cabbie apparently thought she was a naive tourist. She gave him the address, but he drove her all around town before delivering her there. The meter showed $100. She handed him ten dollars (note, these are long-ago prices), saying, “This is what it usually costs. If you want to call the cops… please do!”
He almost cut the fare. It happened just the other day. It increased his paranoia…..it was like looking in the rear view mirror and seeing a police car.

It’s not a “fare” way to run a business.

A mile’s walk will do you good.

You can complain and then you get to walk a mile in your own shoes.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see the sign on the back of the taxi.

the extra mile is how long it takes to stop with our bad brakes

With this cab company, you have to give a destination one mile short of where you actually want to go.

Get him to slow down… anything under ten miles an hour and you can combat roll into the street!
