Well. Yes. Taking a cab from West Hollywood to Callabasas with the cab driver not knowing where to go, that is one thing.
Getting into a cab on the corner sunset and pico, telling the cab driver to take me to Culver City and him not knowing where that is, is a total different one.
That is what I critize in LA cabs.
They only can drive you from origin X to the airport. Forget about the rest.
And that is pityful
