What makes for a great taxi ride? For me, simply arriving at my destination at a reasonable price is satisfaction enough, perhaps a bit of friendly small talk too. However, since Uber and other ride-share services arrived on the scene with their rating system, drivers have had to step up their game if they want to keep getting those fares. Of course, for many drivers it's not about the ratings at all, they simply pride themselves on delivering a great service.
Spending a working life with strangers hopping in and out of the car means lots of interesting and memorable encounters not only for the driver, but for the passengers too! We here at Bored Panda have collected a list of occasions when people took taxi rides that were so special, they just had to share. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and share your own stories in the comments!
