A Quick Question About Cab Drivers

No. Read the OP again.

it depends on the cab drivers. Many cab drivers don't speak english. There is not sense talking with them

Maybe in Las Vegas. Here in Albuquerque every time I take a cab the cabbie is a white man who speaks perfect American.


Ive found that talking with cab drivers seems to make them more willing to take less money. Last night the cab driver didnt even let me tip him. A few nights before that the cabbie cut my fare in half.

They seem to care more about the fact that Im a working man and I need my money when I talk with them. Or maybe the cabbies here are just nice guys. :shrug: Granted to take a cab from work to home is only about $4.

what are you doing in albuquerque? I thought you were in Alaska.

it's a good area of the country. People are more laid back. I've heard of minor problems with gangs in albuquerque, but generally crime is low in that whole state. People are less uptight. I wouldn't mind retiring out there.

my scariest cab right was in Naples italy. The weather was so bad, we couldn't take boats back to our ship. Rather than sleep on cots set up in a cold building, I joined up with a few other guys and got a hotel room. But the cab driver couldn't seem to find it. He went clear on the other side of the volcano, only to have to backtrack back to the main city again.

driving so fast on wet cobblestones just scares the hell out of me. I don't know how easy it is to stop on that surface, as I have never driven on a surface like cobblestones. But I was thought for sure we'd crash into something. I don't know how he was able to stop so fast.
