It is really appalling seeing or even hearing stories of such concerning taxi drivers and their trickish attitude.
A friend of mine wanted going to the market to purchase some items. He got a taxi after so many rejections from other taxis going same direction.
He was a visitor to this particular market (First-timer). Sequel to this, all passengers in the taxi paid same amount except my friend who was charged higher simply because he isn't from their community and doesn't speak their tribe. It was just too awful
Ach! That sounds awful :( Those people who take advantage of other are really infuriating. They took advantage because your friend doesn't know any better. I hope that taxi driver gets a flat tire. Now, whether that would happen while the taxi is parked or going a hundred miles an hour, I'll let fate decide.
Thanks for sharing this story, and I hope your friend gets lucky as recompense :D
