World’s Scariest Taxi Rides
When you get into a taxi, you are putting your trust in a complete stranger for the next 15 minutes or so, expecting him to safely take you to your destination without any hitches along the way. In some parts of the world, taxi rides can be all the more scary taking into account the maze-like trajectories, the reckless driving and of course, the peculiar nature of the vehicles themselves.
In Bangkok, you have the ‘tuktuks’, and in Delhi you have the auto-rickshaws. In either case, you have three-wheelers with no doors and no seat-belts.

In India, people are often wary of rickshaw drivers as they often turn out to be regular crooks who are out to cheat you out of your money in the most conniving way. This is why making use of regular cabs is a much better option even if you might want to experience the thrill of a three-seater ride.

The rise in petrol prices has also discouraged individuals who operate one taxi. Even with the tips that these operators are usually given, they still like having security of a guaranteed income for every day that they work. With their margins decreasing with every increase of the petrol prices at the pump, many of these individual operators have been forced to sell their taxis and look for a more profitable business.
