Be careful about Prague Taxi prices. Mr Rubeš pretended to be an American tourist in Prague and he was really shocked as he took a taxi from Old Town Square to Wenceslas Square (which is about 2 miles) and he paid more than 40 dollars. However, it is important to mention that he only focused on a specific group of taxi drivers because the most of taxi drivers do their job well.

So he made an experiment together with his colleagues and with the visitors of the capital of the Czech Republic which took a taxi and paid for the service. Mr Rubeš followed the Prague taxi and checked how long the observed taxi went and how much did it cost. In one of those experiment the took the taxi from the main railway station to the Charles Bridge and the driver had a sign with 29 euros as a flat rate for the whole city centre. It was really ripping off the customers as the maximum price of the service should be 6 euros. In the next experiments it turned out to be very similar. Later they met the taxi driver again as he crashed.
