Few days ago I was driving in a cab. See, cab drivers in Serbia are, well strange, and not only because how they drive (join need for speed and flatout 2 and you will get the picture) but also how they act while you are in… So, usualy when you get a cab, you only want to reach your destination as quickly as possible. Well, not in Belgrade. First some background about cabs in Belgrade…

I don't know for sure how many registered cab drivers are in Belgrade, but in Serbia, country with little more than 7.5 million people, there are 13.000 cab drivers, so I would say that in Belgrade must be not less than 5000 drivers. Pretty much for city with about 2 mil people.

You have bunch of taxi organizations and all of them are "your best buy". Discounts, nice cars and all other advertising BS that doesn't make any sense. Most of them, if not all, consists of more or less shallow people that actually don't want to work "real" job, but to get money when they need it. Don't get me wrong, not all of them are like that, but lets say most of them. Also, ALL of them thinks that streets are build for them, and them only. Red light means STOP only when there is a chance to stop since speeding is something most common thing they do. They don't respect other drivers because "look at this idiot, i will not let you pass me ever…". So I don't know what is situation in other countries but here cab drivers are like… well when you see driver that goes from one line to another with 80KMH and without any lights given, you just say "cab driver" without even looking at car.
