Posted in: Tokyo ward official beats taxi driver for not going way he told him to See in context
In my humble opinion " thank you thank you thank you " for beating his ass we've been in Japan for a month now and twice that taxi driver has taken us for a "ride". One time in Nagasaki going to a hotel we've been before took the long way charged us an extra $5 , and here in Tokyo what was an 8 kilometer drive on mapquest turned into a $50 ride. The driver was even pointing out stuff that was obvious " oh look Tokyo dome " so much so that when we arrived at the destination the person we where supposed to meet got into an argument with him. When the " locals " warn you about this stuff ahead of time you know it's a problem Ps it's happened to us so often in our previous trips that sometimes when we tell a particular driver what happened before even they warn us!!!
