Post: I often take taxis

I'm a simple emigrant, but I often take taxis

I remember, when I had just moved, taxi prices here shocked me. And in my very first trip home, I paid attention to the total amount: back then, during a couple of weeks in Tyumen I spent on regular taxis less than in Frankfurt for one average ride. Now everything feels exactly the opposite. In the last trip home, I was absolutely shocked by the prices: the ride that used to cost at most 200 rubles now easily climbs to 700. Moreover, there are no alternatives at all, because public transport there works, at best, until ten in the evening. And in Germany taxi apps constantly throw discounts at me — public transport, after all, keeps getting more expensive all the time. It often happens that even for two people it's cheaper to ride a taxi than to take the metro. For example, from my home to the station two tram tickets cost €7.6, and for a taxi last time I paid €6.3. Even though public transport in Frankfurt runs around the clock, at night I want to call a taxi solely for safety. But I understand that people often can't afford it for economic reasons. But for us girls there is a lifeline — women's night taxi. These are six-euro coupons for rides from 22:00 to 6:00 within the city limits, only for girls aged 14 and older. The program exists in many cities, but it's not nationwide, so the name and conditions from city to city may differ. Just search in Google for “FrauenNachtTaxi + city name” and you will definitely find it if it's available to you. In Frankfurt, vouchers can be obtained at the Center for Climate and Sustainable development at Hauptwache, and from January 5 also by mail at info.frauenreferat@stadt-frankfurt.de. This promotion applies only to taxis connected to the dispatch center. In our city you can order it at the number 069-23 000 1. Each person per year can receive six such vouchers, and you must use them by the end of 2026. Guys, sorry, there's nothing special for you, but you can always send your better half on a taxi, and you go by the metro yourself. 🌚 #useful #frankfurt #money #russia
