They also don't smell bad, share horrendous politics, smoke, listen to bad music or need a tip...


Not recently but I've had a few political taxi cab rides in my life. Back in the 1998(?), I had a long taxi ride back from a work trip and the driver was Paskitani and was all excited because Pakistan became a nuclear power. I just nodded and just wanted to get home.

Then in Belgium I got a ride from the hotel to the airport and the driver was Iranian. He was complaining to me about how his family had ties to the Shah and had to escape Iran but the Belgians didn't treat him well, etc. etc. Just what you don't need when you just want to relax and get to the airport in one piece.
