I hate using taxis here. The drivers drive too fast and really dangerously. And they’re often rude.

The cars are mostly in pretty poor condition. But what I hate the most is that they aren’t air-conditioned. It’s so hot here. They really need air-conditioned taxis. By the time I arrive somewhere, I feel really hot and uncomfortable.

I’ve taken quite a few taxi rides recently. I’ve never had any big problems using taxis here. They’re usually clean, and the cars are pretty new. The prices are good, too. The thing I like most. though, is the drivers.

They drive very carefully, and I think that’s very important.

I find that taxis here are okay. They’re pretty comfortable. Most of the cars they use are new, and they keep them pretty clean. They’re a little expensive, though.

I paid $75 to come from the airport. That’s too expensive. I guess the thing I hate the most, though, is that the drivers don’t speak English very well. It’s very difficult to explain to them where you want to go.

The taxis here are okay, I guess.

The drivers take credit cards. That’s the thing I like most about them. It’s really convenient. But the taxis are pretty old. so they’re not very comfortable. Half of them don’t have seat belts or air conditioning.
