Taking a taxi in a certain Eastern European country can
be a shocking experience. It
is said that some taxi drivers have metal wires stuck into
the passenger seats. And when
a button is pushed, the seat will give you an electric shock.
These taxi drivers don't do
this for fun. They do it to tourists who argue about the ridiculous
fares they charge.
Some drivers charge as much as ten times the legal fare. They
have a secret switch which
makes the meters run faster. If you refuse to pay, you are
really in for a shock.
In one case, a German woman had no choice but to pay US$120
for a US$20 ride from the
airport. She said that she was "really taken for a ride,"
but what could she do? Besides
the electric shock, she was verbally abused and threatened
with physical violence. She
has only one piece of advice to tourists:"Take the bus
or stay at home."
