Boston
Went from Waltham to Littleton via the longest route possible and had to pay $120 instead of $40 or so! And the cabbie was a retired professor.
No wonder this country suffers these scams!

Hynes Convention Center to Porter Square. $40. Boston Taxi. WTF. I swear the cabbie took a long way around Harvard Square.
Taking a taxi from Kendall area to Logan is a ripoff. The flat rate is $25, but the trip takes 10 minutes. That sure sounds expensive for such a short
ride. I once stayed towards Museum of Science (at Sonesta), which is even closer to the airport, and they still charged me flat rate from "Kendall."
Someting isn't right. ...plus, I don't have any other choice, because the subway in Boston is so piss poor.
Chicago
I TOOK A TAXI FROM O HARE AIRPOR TO LA QUINTA INN - OAKBROOK TERRACE 1S666 MIDWEST ROAD, OAKBROOK TERRAce, il, 60181 -4429.
the meter showed $ 40/-. but, he chargrd me $ 60/- in stead of regular around $ 35-36. why he has charged me so much - i did not
understand? on enquiry- the driver said chicago taxis charge 150% of the fare shown on meter. THE TAXI NO. AS SHOWN INSIDE THE CAB WAS - 5565.
ANY ONE CAN HELP PL.

Baltimore
I went with Yellow/Checker/Sun cab (driver K. Malik) from Baltimore\'s Inner Harbor to BWI. The fare posted on the back seat for this ride is $27.
However, the driver insisted, very aggressively, on getting paid $41.

Toronto
I just shared a Beck cab with 3 people from Yonge and Bloor to Yonge and Lawrence. The cab driver thought it fair to charge us a \"flat rate\" of 40$
This fare ususally costs about 14-16$ The subway was broken down and this cabbiewas an opportunist. I will never use this cab service again for myself or
any of my clients. I am very disappointed with this type of behaviour. I will be forwarding this email to the better business bureau as well.
