Taxi-drivers still ripping-off foreign tourists

Undercover inspectors at Prague Airport have found that one in two taxi-drivers rip off passengers. The inspection was conducted by city hall officials in cooperation with city police who issued over 200 fines. Czech taxi-drivers are notorious for overpricing with Prague city hall getting hundreds of complaints about the problem. The trip from Prague Airport to the city centre should cost around 600 crowns, inspectors say some taxi drivers charged double and in one case the requested fee was 5,000 crowns.
