The drivers of London's black cabs learn their trade the hard way. The drivers have to complete "The Knowledge". Getting this qualification involves memorising every street within six miles of Charing Cross. Taxi drivers are regulated by the Metropolitan Police, and discipline is very important. London cabbies are possibly the best-paid in the world.
Venice is the only city in Italy with absolutely no cars.The Venetian gondola is the primary form of transportation in Venice from the 12th century.
Technically the gondola is a mode of transportation, but in practice these most famous of Venetian boats operate as supremely overpriced tourist mini-cruises, not as a means of public transportation.
The average gondola ride lasts 40 minutes. They usually return you to the same spot where you got on the gondola.
Water taxis provide an excellent and speedy but very expensive way to get you and your luggage down the canal. You may not be the only passenger on board, as captains take on as many travelers as they can fit who are going in the same direction (most taxis fit up to 10 and as many as 14 passengers).
The tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled small taxi, is easily distinguishable by its blue, red and yellow cab. It is not recommended for long distances but are good for short trips. Agree upon a price beforehand, if possible, but most drivers don't speak English. The average cost of taking a tuk-tuk is 20 baht.
Indonesian three-wheeled bicycle rickshaws – called becaks – are unique in that the passengers sit at the front. They are ideal for two passengers. You can get some protection under the hood from the glaring rays of the sun in summer, whereas in winter, they draw a plastic sheet in front of you. The becaks are quite cheap and so, they are affordable. Though, the becaks do not have a fixed rate, you can always bargain with the fare.
