I live in Concord, small town in California. Two days ago, I was the urgent need to go to Lafayette. Usually I always call a taxi to get to my customers. However, this time it was very sudden. I call them, and within 10 minutes they were in front of my house. I once helped immensely with the advent of the fast. I quickly grab my briefcase and I headed for the door cab.
The driver was very friendly, and reasonably clean and comfortable cab. The very nice thing is the air conditioning went well.
I had a conversation with the driver, and he responded well conversation. I ask him for solutions that fast, because I have no time anymore. Worried about the customers who are waiting in Lafayette He was very aware that the area we are headed.
I was lucky to meet my customers in a ontime. I give a tip of 10 dollars and I would like to thank the driver. Next time, I'll use a taxi again.
Mecca - Be careful if you take a taxi in the city of Mecca. Besides undisciplined, taxi drivers drop off passengers also likes away from their destination, despite the agreed fee of 50 Riyal.
Mecca city traffic congestion makes congestion occurs everywhere. The driver was trying to find an alternative way. However, because the density of pilgrims going to Arafat, there is no way in the city of Mecca, where there is not the user.
As a result the driver told us to get down about 500 yards from the goal, and keep asking for the full cost. An Indonesian student who helped as a translator and escort duty insisted. She just wants to give fee 30 Riyal. Fortunately, the driver would receive even ranting endlessly.
"Events like this always. They like casually drop off passengers and requested the full fare, especially as the Haj season in full swing," said the student.
In the city of Mecca commonly encountered taxi drivers who carry passengers while phoning with a mobile phone regardless of its passengers. Cooling space in the car will not turn on if the passenger did not.
Do not you ever get such services in the city of Concord, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, California United States. Services yellow cab drivers will be very different from what we usually get in the U.S..
A month long in Mecca, the most feasible transportation is taxi. But in order to get a comfortable taxi ride, we need to choose properly. And they do not use the meter. Therefore, make sure that you know the destination address to be addressed, and you need to bid price. Never alone you take a taxi in Mecca. Invite a friend or relative when you take a cab in mecca. because the average taxi drivers do not understand and can speak English.
If you can not speak Arabic, note the address that will be addressed and tujukkan the taxi driver.
For rush hours, they used to raise the price of a taxi up to two times. You also need to be very clever to bid price. When it comes down make sure the woman down first.
In the cab ride, they do not pay attention to traffic signs. And will honk a few times. And it's unusual there. One thing to also note is that they sometimes will take an additional passenger. Although we've agreed on taxi fare. This is certainly different from the cab in America. Or particularly like in Concord, California.
It could be said that the taxi driver was fine. However, not least that they are rough and when speaking casually. Custom of the Arabs when speaking in a loud voice, perhaps because of their environment like that. Of course it is very different to the taxi driver or yellowcab we encountered in America. As in the city of Concord, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Pittsburg California.
