Driver overcharges(presumably for a quick buck)

Instead of calling an Excite Taxi to pick me up for Claremont like I usually do, I decided to take a Cabco taxi, since they were everywhere. After telling the driver where I needed to go, he said that the trip would cost me R50. This was the price that I usually pay, so I didn't think much of the fact that the meter was off when I arrived at my destination. <br> <br> After paying the driver R50, he continued to look at me with his hand reached out. He then claimed that he had told me that the trip would cost R70. I reminded him that the distance on all 3 major routes were less than R60 and that the route he chose was ~5.5km, and I made it clear that I knew this because I had been travelling back on forth on this particular route for the past 2 years. <br> <br> The driver, seemingly caught of guard, began to trip over his words but he persisted. Not wanting a confrontation to develop, I paid the R20 extra and left. <br> <br> Some identifiers of this driver can be found under the \Person Responsible"entry if Cabco would like to do something about this. <br> <br> I have decided to use Hello Peter because Cabco does not have a complaint handling system.
