When we were in Europe for the Christmas markets last year I signed up with Bolt and the prices were better, especially with the first 3 rides 50% off. If we go this year I'll have my wife sign up if they have a similar offer.

Years ago I was in Bahrain for a few weeks working with the military and didn't have a car so I would walk or deal with the taxi cabs. The law was that they had to use meters but no one did so it was always an annoying negotiation. At times despite the extreme heat (115-120F with humidity also) I would walk the mile or two back to the hotel. Don't think I could do that now, 30 yrs later :)

Taxis for the most part is one thing that universally seems broken and the initial glory days of Uber/Lyft has passed by and aren't the great fix they could have been.
