did you waste all this time to make this video just to flame taxi drivers in Athens? Pfff you stink man!

[antpetros]

look, it wasn't that much expencive. The places that the visited is not so close to each other that u think, also they made at least three stops for a while, the counter in the taxi is still counting u know....

so, think that the ride would be about 30km in the city + 10 minutes waiting in every place + the trafic...45 euros is not that much,i think is quite ok BUT not TOO much for that ride.

But u have right about the tourists rights...

aaa also the video is TOO set up...

τι fake και bullshits.... he is right... it is unacceptable to share the taxi with someone else... Athens taxi drivers are among the worst of the world.... Και μην ακούσω μακακίες ότι δεν βγαίνουν οικονομικά κτλ... έτσι λένε και οι γιατροί και παίρνουν φακελάκι... αη σηχτήρι... μπανανία γίναμε... τα μυαλά σας μέσα

take the metro... it costs 3 euros for 1 day per person and it has stops to all the places a tourist wants to know.... its sooo simple... and if you have problems, the majority of the passengers and the personell know at least english, french (espesially younger people) so dont hesitate to ask.. dont forget a good map

i think he is from america, isn't he ??? wtf in usa they don't take more than 1 passenger ??? yeah gratz u are fake,gay and stupid... U "found" a random driver that had camera at front seat, knew eng and the best was a 50 years old gr man knew eng too...

[kosktaxi]

@nickgr 74 ..this video is maybe setupfake but...all my taxi drivers friends, the first thing that they ask when they take a tourist from the airport is "first time to Greece"? if the tourist says yes....he get's it in the ass...50euro and up for a trip to the center of Athens...

Have you ever been to another country like England,Austria? 2nd passenger? are you crazy?

MY SUGGESTION IS NOT TO TAKE A CAB BUT IF YOU HAVE TO,CHECK THE PRICE AND IF YOU SUSPECT SOMETHING, SEARCH FOR A POLICEMAN.

[nickgr74]

you know THAT MAKES ME UPSET

THE SET UP SENARIO,

THEY ARE 23,000 DRIVERS IN ATHENS

THEY ARE NOT ALL SAINTS

BUT THATS A SE UP VIDEO THIS IS NOT THE WHOLE PICTURE OF GREEK TAXI....

700,000 PASSAGERS EVERY DAY SOMETIMES 800,000

BEFORE YEARS 1,6ML BEEN DOING THIS JOB OVER 11 YEARS I SAW BAD THINGS HAPPEND BUT THAT VIDEO MAKES ME MAD!!!

REMIND ME THE GREEK MEDIA AT OUR STRIKE IN 2003 THEY TRYING TO FOOL THE PUBILIC THAT WE DONT WANNA PAY TAXES AND WE ARE MILLIONERS!!!
