Hey Sunfish, are you saying Melbourne cabs are better than Sydney ones? The two worst experiences I have ever had with Cabbies have both been in Melbourne. One resulted in me refusing to exit the cab until the police were called as the driver gave me $10 change from a $50 note for a $10 fair. He gave in as I called the police, I still reported him and funnily enough the cops stated it is a problem not just confined to the CBD but usually with taxies from the airport with drivers ripping people off for toll money along with other things.
Cabs are a disgrace Australia wide. But I suppose avoiding Sydney airport will solve it all. Or is it just your bias against Sydney that makes you see things this way?
