The creep driving cab number 1195 should be avoided.

For a one mile ride to the hotel from this spot near Central Station this cabbie demanded 15 Euro ($19). This is ridiculous since licensed cabs should be using the meter. Most cab rides in Amsterdam were oriented towards gouging the tourists. The Amsterdam government should put a stop to it. Why bother even licensing these cabs if they can do whatever they want? This was cab 1195 (above). I simply got out and some new sucker (above) came along.
