Taxis are often mistakenly considered extra expensive public means, but in recalculating the cost you can easily see that in certain occasion they are convenient
1. Arriving at the train station ,after hours of travelling, you do not know where exactly your hotel or accommodation is: sit in the taxi and relax. Trust only those “stationed”at special taxi parking stands.
2. A large number of pieces of luggage .You can phone the taxi service and it will be there in 3 minutes ( not on heavy rain days)
3. It’s 3 or 4 of you thinking to go to an outlet outside of town or going out for dinner . Share the cost.
4. The day after your airplane is leaving early early in the morning.Let’s book a taxi in advance.
