Rassafrassin' Taxi Drivers

I hate taxi drivers who take the busiest, longest and most expensive route possible! I was running late this morning, grabbed a taxi to Martins Place (between Pitt St and George St). Did the taxi driver take Pitt St, on which I was standing, a one-way street that seemed fairly free of traffic? No. He took George St, charged me $13 for a 10-15 minute walk, and it took as long as if I had walked!

Argh! Long story short, I was still really late, and I'd paid for a taxi. (At least it was work's money that I used to pay for it, and I did get a receipt, but still...)
