Q: Isn’t using taxis or taxi apps cheaper?
A: While taxis and taxi apps may appear cheaper at first glance, they are not always the most practical or reliable option. You may need to wait for vehicles at each stop, which reduces valuable sightseeing time. Vehicle conditions can vary since they are meant for domestic use, and drivers are not trained guides. Cost disputes are common, and many drivers take longer or traffic‑heavy routes to increase fares.
