I find taxis too expensive in NZ. the aussie system is bullshit though. each cab owner has to buy a number plate. about 200k a pop. insane.

There’s a fourth reason for choosing combined or one of the better ones (the Green cabs are pretty good, I’ve found): you don’t get a blank look when you ask for a GST receipt.

Use Corporate Cabs only, for the same reasons listed in DPF’s comment. Rule of thumb in Auckland Wellington if the driver has a beard walk on by, if the cab is 18 years old and a 1200cc motor walk on...

Being a peasant, I don’t use taxis *ever*. Taxis make me nervous… they are *fucking* pricey (relative to peasant income). Their meters make me very nervous. Ouch ouch OUCH!! I was in town recently (not...

A little off topic but I do have an issue with Taxis. It is not the cost, it is the service. Email sent to Michael O’Brien. Dear North Shore Taxis, On Friday 7th Dec I had an appointment at North Shore...

Here in NSW I find a trip of about 4 or 5km is about $15-$17Au. We have only one co-op to choose from in this city and the system is heavily regulated. I note that the Victorian Govt has been looking...
