Why on earth would you go to the middle taxi in the rank unless every one in front of it has annoyed you in some way? Just to be awkward?
Your spending your money so you are entitled to choose what car you want to travel in, so i'd take a new Mercedes over a 15 year old heap anyday even if it was 10 cars back in the queue.

Never really thought of it that way. Would you not consider that the driver at the front has been waiting there longer for a fare?
Been there, done it. Had a screamin match with one of them one day. A taxi driver at the top of the queue wouldnt bring me to the long term car park in Dublin airport, so I went to the next car, he said no too. So i said feck that, saw a taxi pull up to drop someone off and jumped in. The faces on the drivers in the queue was comicalYou'd be great fun outside an airport.

Females travelling alone would sometimes prefer a female driver. An elderly person would not necessarily want to have to climb in and out of one of those large cabs designed to take half a dozen passangers. Sometimes a particular driver might just make you feel uneasy. Or, as other posters have said, some cars look cleaner and more comfortable than others.
Just read Truthseekers post... Fair enough so.
C'mon, you know what we mean. I don't want to travel in a filthy taxi with a driver who stinks of stale smoke/BO. And, very occasionally, a particularly sleazy or surly looking driver would make me, as a female on my own, feel uneasy.
#sorry, that was a response to GarBow before s/he edited their post.
Truthseeker,
Why are you still using that same company?
GarBow;996668 I just don't know anyone who would be that particular when choosing a cab.[/quote said:We are too to be honest. Since the arrival of Firefly junior we tend to eat out less than we'd like. When we do go out, we then eater in nicer restaurants and the last thing we want is to finish off the night in a banger. We've often waited for say the 2nd, 3rd, 4th car if we've had to or simply walked the direction home and flagged one down.
Perhaps, a solution would be to grade the cars. Gold star cabs should then be able to charge more, but should be vetted frequently etc? Then, maybe you should have to take the first Gold star cab in the rank? E.g, the car should be < 3 years old, in mint condition and the driver having passed a proper exam (like the black cabbies in London) etc. I'd happily pay for that.
have you considered that the driver with the nice car has invested more in their business in order to provide better a service and so deserved more support?Never really thought of it that way. Would you not consider that the driver at the front has been waiting there longer for a fare?
