    When we first arrived, our chartered driver also told us to download the 55688 app. We used Uber as well. It's just that sometimes, if we see a yellow cab right there, we feel too lazy to pull out our phones to book a ride.

      When I'm in Taiwan, I always use Uber. The cars generally feel nicer, and you're less likely to run into strange drivers.

          From what I remember, if a driver has to return something to your original location, they do charge a fee. They're not obligated to use their own working time to bring it back to you. However, you can request they drop it off at the nearest police station or a similar place.

            Yeah, we understood that. Before we went to report it, we tried calling the phone. We figured if the driver answered and was willing to bring it back, we'd happily pay the fare for his trip and even give a tip. But after a few calls, the phone was turned off.

              Uber or 55688 are both highly recommended.

                  That's terrible. The police were already involved, and he still wasn't being honest.

                    They used to be pretty good before Uber came along. Why have things become like this now?

                      The competition is just too intense. The moment I step onto the street, it's flooded with yellow cabs.
