    Here’s another one to add to the long growing list of what not to do in a Taxi.

    Be sure you are familiar with the unit of currency when traveling abroad and also where the decimal is placed on a taxi’s meter. …so you can be ready when a driver asks you to pay the 2000 listed on their meter – and rather than giving him a 20, give him a 2 bill.

    hailing a cab: stand at the curb and hold arm straight up and straight out
    speak-up and speak clearly to the driver: it is difficult to hear you through the plexi-glass partition and above the traffic noise
    fasten your seatbelts
    no smoking
    the meter should click-over approximately 4 or 5 blocks
    take you receipt
