Twilight at platform B, inter city departure and arrival area. When outside, tried to get a taxi to the night's destination. My two GPS devices say the place is 3.6 kms away. The paper map roughly indicates about 4.5 kms with the corners and turns. You know what the taxi driver said: "Very far, traffic jam, 45 Euros". Who are they fooling -- some rich and ignorant tourist? Too bad, I'm not rich nor ignorant. 45 Euros is bullshit. The driver did not want to use the meter. That's even more than the train fare from the city of Pisa to here and that's around 300 kms. Well, as the saying goes, every city has its rotten people. Rome is no exception.
Good thing that swindling taxi driver mentioned about traffic jam. Just took the subway for roughly 1 Euro.
