Pamps Taxis still ripping visitors off

My friends are in Pamps at the minute and Taxis are still charging 20lev for a 5 minute taxi ride Crying when will the powers that be sort these rogues out. I thought this issue wouldve been sorted out given the recent negativity

Are they not negotiating before they get in?

Do you not negotiate or ask for a price at home when you book or get into a taxi Razz

in belfast and dublin taxi drivers r always ripping of punters. so we just cant blame the Bulgarians who only get a couple of fares in a day

Agreeing the price of a taxi fare before the journey is common practice in many countries. I would also advise paying the agreed price before you set off. Many have had arguements when a fee of 15 levs was agreed, and at the journey end the driver has insisited he said 50 levs.

Cool

What planet are someof you on? You seem quite accepting of getting "ripped off" by taxi drivers anywhere. I can't believe you're so blase with comments like "tell me where taxis are not rip offs ??". I've never seen prices so ridiculously high as i have in Pamps.
