From the article:
Hotels.com partnered with Dean Foster, president of Dean Foster
Associates, a global consultancy specializing in cross-cultural
information, training and research, to provide expert tips and
cultural advice for how to hail a taxi in each of the top five
cities.
#1 London
Big and roomy personal cabin in the back, with jump seats for the
kids, doors that lock and unlock every time the driver accelerates
or brakes, and a personal privacy switch you can use to speak – or
not – with the driver, whenever you like. Bags will be stashed with
travelers in the big personal cabin behind the driver, not in the
“boot”.
#2 New York
It was also rated
the best city for availability of taxis.
Tip:
Probably the sole place in the world where, no matter the corner or
time, travelers can simply walk to the curb, stick out an arm, and
hail a cab. Avoid “shift time”, usually around 4-6 p.m., when taxis
passing by are “off-duty”. New York recently overhauled its taxi
fleet, so most cabs are smaller, yet roomier, and very high-tech,
allowing credit card payment, and providing TV entertainment. If
paying with a credit card, be sure to ask the driver when entering
the taxi if it is working. Sometimes the system is down forcing
travelers to pay with cash. (Singapore also most cab change shift
4-6pm)
#3 Tokyo
Most
drivers don’t go by house numbers so the destination’s address,
unless it is an iconic landmark, probably won’t mean much to the
driver. Before leaving the hotel, have the concierge write down, in
Japanese, the intersection, any identifying nearby landmarks, and,
if possible, a small map, to be presented to the driver.
(Singapore also most new driver ask
for intersection/landmarks)
#4 Shanghai
Drivers don’t speak much English, so before
leaving the hotel, have the concierge write down in Chinese the
destination name and address on a card, then present it to the
driver with two hands. This shows respect, and will please the
driver which is desirable, given a local habit of taking passengers
to their destination the long and more expensive way. Also, take a
hotel address card along to present to the driver that provides an
easy return taxi trip to the hotel. (Some TD in Singapore oso no speak
Engrish)
#5 Bangkok
Bangkok also topped the list for
best value for their cabs.
Bangkok usually sets the standard
for the worst traffic in the world. Take a tuk-tuk, a kind of
motorcycle with a small one or two passenger compartment attached
to the back. The advantage of the tuk-tuk is that it can scoot in
between traffic thus actually getting travelers to their
destination in a timely manner.
