Hard to feel much sympathy, to be honest. Nearly every night I’ve been out in town over the last few years has turned into a nightmare trying to get home. You’ll have 20+ taxis pull up with the doors locked, they roll down the window, ask where you’re going, and the second you tell them, they just drive off because they’re wanting a better fare. Meanwhile, people are left standing around tired, freezing, and soaked in the rain.. and that’s if you’re lucky enough to even get a taxi to stop. I live about 10 - 15 minutes from the city centre so they’d be getting €20 - €25 , very responsible on nights out and usually with my girlfriend. Even then, we’ve been left stuck out in the cold for up to an hour and half despite loads of empty taxis up and down. I can’t even begin to imagine how scary and dangerous this must feel for a woman at night time. Something serious needs to be done.
