Re: Dubai taxi doors
hi all
possibly a silly thing to ask but why do loads of taxis only unlock one of the back passenger doors when you get to your destination?
it really bugs me when i have to crawl over the seats to get out because the driver cant/wont unlock the door on my side
any ideas??!

Re: Dubai taxi doors
Then why do they leave it unlocked so that you can get IN on that side to begin with?

Re: Dubai taxi doors
Say three people are getting into a taxi - one gets in the front, one in the rear right, and one in the rear left (the door behind the driver) - you have to walk out into the road to get in that one. I certainly will not get in at the right-rear-door and shuffle across - sod that.............
That door is never locked when he is picking up passengers.

Taxi rant
1) Seem to be a lot of new drivers in town who don't know Tecom from timbucktu- bloody annoying when they refuse to take you even though you tell them you know the way
2) Taxis with broken aircon or working aricon but the outlet thing-a-me bob is broken soyou cant direct the air
3) Taxis with seatbelts that don't lock when the taxi breaks ( had a few of these recently)
4) Tazi drivers with no change- grr!
5) Taxis with no seatbelts
6) Taxi drivers who refuse to help you with your luggage
7) Taxi drivers who assume you want to give them a tip and don't even go to give you your change
8) Taxi driver with poor personal hygiene
9) Taxi drivers who say they know the way and take you the longest route possible
10) Taxi drivers who use their mobiles throughout the journey
11) Taxi drivers who proposition you
12) Taxi drivers who try to kill you with their nutty driving
Think thats it - may have been getting taxis for too long!
