Taxi!Taxi! Vegas best place to make that call
If you have ever wondered about the best place to get a taxi in the US, look no further than Las Vegas, which was voted the leading provider of such service in a vote by Hotels.com.
“The cabs were judged on seven categories – cleanliness, value, quality of driving, knowledge of the area, friendliness, safety, and availability,” the site says.
Las Vegas beat other top US destinations that included Chicago,Los Angeles,Miami, New York and San Francisco.
New York,home of the famous yellow taxi and The Discovery Channel's "The Cash Cab," cabbies were rated as the most knowledgeable (30 percent) and most available (37 percent) drivers in the nation.
However, survey results highlighted that travelers voted those cabs as some of the worst in the nation in the other categories surveyed.
Travelers found that New York taxi drivers lacked friendliness, quality driving, and the city's cabs provided the least value and lacked cleanliness.
New York taxis were overwhelmingly rated the least friendly with 42 percent of the votes and the worst drivers with 44 percent of the votes.
