A living wage for a cabbie is not determined by how much an individual trip costs, but by how much one makes in a day doing trips of all types and distances. On the third request down the lien of cabbies, we got one who drove us with all of our stuff. Tipped him very well as I always do (R$50) and told him to make sure the other driver's knew it........heh.
Never had this happen to me in Rio, with UBER or taxis (and I live about 5 minuted from Rio Sul, a common destination). This is just one of the many reasons I detested Salvador. Most everyone in the service/hospitality industries were horrible to deal with due to their PT induced sense of entitlement.
