How much will that taxi cost?

My beef with Montreal cab drivers are:

a) Not having change.

b) I have to give them directions, and I'm the tourist!

c) Talking on cell while driving!

my cousin has 10 cabs. we actually had this conversation not too long ago. he was telling me back in the days a licence would only cost about $15000, in today's market it can go all the way to $250000. the reason it's that high because there not giving anymore permits so they buy them off people who actually own them now. what a return on your money if you actually bought it in the late 80's.

Not just Montréal, believe me!

On another continent:
- Cab driver talking on cell phone hands-free and having a very heated argument (the guy was extremely mad!) in a language I had no clue of, with some F*** placed around, yelling, all while I'm sitting in the back. And the driving followed the tamper...
- Cab driver getting upset because me and my buddy were chatting in the back and interfering with his cell phone conversation.
- having to give direction to a cab driver who you can barely understand and then hoping he'll take you where you want to go because 1, you don't know if he understood and 2, you can't read any sign post.
