Firstly, fuck uber and their surge pricing. Taking advantage of drunks is unaustralian.

Melbourne airport has a short fare system so cabbies can jump the que if the receive a short fare.

My experiences with Sydney cabs were the same as Melbourne cabs. Just selfish prices who are looking for an easy mark. Adelaide cabbies were better people but there aren't many so the result is the same.
