We
use a regular cab firm to get around to our favourite pubs at night. They now
record your number so they can track your car and tell you automatically how
long until it’s due if you have any doubts as to when it’s due to arrive. I hate
getting a cab on my own as I’m usually stuck for conversation other than to ask
the driver how busy he’s been. Anything else could be interpreted as racist. I usually
have to get in the front as I’m either the first off three or last of three to
be picked up or dropped off. I do miss city cabs with their glass screens separating
the front and back seats for safety reasons. But the rural cabs are more
comfortable and you can relax more. The fare can sometimes be a problem as you’re
struggling to get as close to the right change as possible and leave a tip if
they’ve collected you early enough. On some occasions we’ve been collected in a
minibus when there was just three of us. When we queried this, the driver’s
response was ‘I was closest!’.
