Taxis have become a huge problem in Macau. Not only are there not enough of them to fulfil demand, unscrupulous drivers are taking advantage of visitors and frustrating the locals by refusing short fares, taking lengthy “detours” and demanding off-meter fares of as much as 10 times the legal price. Bad behavior in the taxi industry continues to flourish and spread like a cancer, frustrating locals and tourists alike and giving the Macau tourism industry a black eye it doesn’t need.
