You really shouldn't pick the taxi that charges 3.50 Lei/km though (this is the rate the OTP ones at the rank all charged until some time ago but it's changed now and you can get the cheaper ones through the taxi ordering system). The rates are displayed on the side of the taxi and not difficult to spot.
I should probably provide one word of warning. Watch out for feral dogs. Some are not in a good mood and may snap at you.
Or my favourite scam of all, the taxi that's 13.9 RON instead of 1.39 (note the misplaced decimal point).
And is it just me, or are the feral cats much scarier than the dogs...?
