e Milano si piazza bene, mah... già prima avevo qualche perplessita sull'Adac ora la cosa si sta tramutando in sconcerto...
Taxi services in Amsterdam rank poorly compared to those in the rest of Europe.
In a study published by German motoring organization ADAC, Amsterdam ranks 19th among 22 cities.
Testers for the organization rated drivers, their taxis, routes taken and rates.
Half of the drivers did not fare well.
They ran red lights, took longer routes, or charged incorrect rates.
Some drivers also flat-out refused to accept customers for short trips.
Taxi experiences in Amsterdam
Short taxi documentary *
ADAC?s mystery shoppers presented themselves as business professionals.
In Amsterdam one of them asked a taxi at Amsterdam Central Station ? a taxi rank Amsterdammers refer to, without any subtlety, as the ?Gaza Strip? ? for a ride to the RAI Congress & Convention Centre.
He was told the trip would cost him ? 30.00. The driver did not help with the lugguge.
Along the way the taxi driver makes a detour in order to pick up a second customer ? without consulting the mystery shopper. The woman is charged ? 15.00
During the drive the taxi driver frequently changes lanes without using his indicator signals. He made several phone calls, all without using a hands-free set.
Requests to turn down the air-conditioning were ignored. At the destination, the driver remained in his car, forcing the customer to retrieve his luggage.
The vehicle itself sported dents and rust, and was dirty inside. Space in the trunk was restricted.
How other cities ranked in the taxi survey
In the ADAC test, Barcelona came out on top. ADAC?s test customers highlighted in particular the helpful and friendly attitude of the drivers.
The top five was rounded out by Munich, Germany; Cologne, Germany; Milan, Italy, and Berlin, Germany.
Paris occupies 6th place, while the Dutch city of Rotterdam ranked in 10th place.
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovania, came in last place.

, molte volte non prendono carte di credito e potrei andare avanti (specialmente con lo stile di guida). Venite a vedere (in Finlandia) come deve essere il servizio taxi , a partire dalla telefonata gratuita, dal carico valigie, computer per comunicare con centrale (in completo silenzio), telecamera interna, modo guida ecc. ecc. E non sono nemmeno tanto cari.
