[nagdu] taxi transport

[Steven Johnson]

Daniel, a lot will depend on the type of taxi.  In our city, we have a lot
of mini vans, which makes it easier for getting in and out.  Otherwise, I
generally default to the way taught through the training program I went
through which is simply described as others have...pretty simple.  If the
backseat is too tight, which is many times the case, I often request the
front seat.  However, with a small town company like ours, it is a little
different than the big city where that many times is not allowed.  

Good luck, I am sure you will figure it out.  In the meantime, practice with
someone who has a car, and one of the first things you will realize is that
the passenter seat, if sitting in the front, will need to be moved all the
way back for maximum room.

Hi all,

 

Just a quick question, I have never used a taxi, but would like to with this
hot weather (on occasion).

I am not sure how to put my girl in.  Should I get in, put my feet over
behind the driver and then have the girl hop up to the floor behind the
passenger seat?

Since I have never been in a taxi, I am not sure how much foot room there is
in the back seat. When I ride with friends, she rides on the floorboard in
front of me in the front passenger seat.

We did not cover this when I was at school, I guess because I didn't think
it was important at the time, my bad.

Any suggestions?
