Reply to comment by Scumandvillany in Airport taxi drivers protest over pickup zone compromise by PROMETHEUS606

Cab drivers need to hold themselves accountable. They are the reason no one wants to take a cab.

Once a year or so I'll try one when uber/lyft isn't working out for whatever reason. It's either no card reader, we don't go there, or they intentionally miss exits or turns even though I remind them where to exit to pad the meter. And that's not counting them just being generally shitty attitudes at best, which is honestly a detergent enough in itself.

I once got in a cab at the airport where there was someone who was allegedly there to monitor them. Can driver wanted cash I immediately got out and complained to the rep who said to the cab driver "you know you're not supposed to do that"

I hop in the next cab, pay cash and 25% tip. Asked the cab driver to tell the first driver when he gets back.

TL;DR - Nobody monitors them

Last time this exact thing happened to me, the rep made the shitty cab driver leave the pick up line and go around the airport loop and get back at the end of the line. I hope he learned his lesson!
