While it's an Athens taxi, the pickup/payment etc is as if it was an Uber and convenient.
Where does one go to find Uber vehicles? Are there signs that designate a specific area away from the formal taxi line?
Edited with this update:
It took a bit to locate the ‘Uber-taxi’ since the pick up instructions were arrivals door #1 and he was at the end of a long line of taxis across from me and too far for me to see the vehicle.
This particular taxi was not very clean and not well maintained. More to the point, I doubt there was any significant savings over a regular taxi if the advertised rates are to be believed.
