Taxi drivers see all kinds of weird and wonderful things
(Source: Wikimedia Commons)One taxi company says its most popular destination for bookings is vaccination centres and Covid test centres.
Lynk Taxis says its stats for 2021 show 79 per cent of customers now pay with card, which is an increase on the previous year.
145 phones, 89 handbags or wallets, 23 shopping bags, and even one dog, are among the items passengers left behind them in a taxi.
112 people legged it or didn't pay, while 94 individuals got sick or caused soilage in the cars.
The longest trip booked in 2021 was Dublin to Belfast, while the shortest was Dame Street to Trinity College - just 0-point-4 kilometres.
While drivers say the most common conversation starters are "are you out for long" followed by "are you busy tonight".
But the most unusual request from a customer was "can I get changed in the back?"
