If you're trying to get a taxi from town late in the evening - especially at weekends - you''ll find it near impossible if you have to get to somewhere 'local', ie Cardiff suburbs. The taxi drivers will only take the bigger fares going outside the City.

I contacted the Echo a while ago about this but they didn't think it worthwhile to investigate. A couple of years later following a spate of attacks on girls walking home alone, they did, and approached the Council. The Council did nothing.

99.9% of the drivers are Somalis.

I won't be using a taxi service again for fear of being killed !


Very entertaining. :lol:

I got a taxi from Llandaff to Llanrumney the other week, the meter was on however after telling me he knew where Llanrumney was I spent the next 20 minutes directing him, and he still charged me £15 quid, what worries me most though, is the women out there geting picked up by god knows who !!!

Dangerous and underhand taxi drivers are dangerous and underhand irrespective of their race or religion. Just so happens 99% of them are Muslim.

That's alarming.I don't know if its changed that much but when I was a young man I had a taxi licence for a short time and the knowledge test was not that easy.You had to know just about every road and the shortest route between the pickup and destination.How the f**k this guy got a licence if he was as you say is mystifying to say the least.
