It wasnt just the cost, but that was a sneaky way, quoting one price on the phone and then doubling it when the journey had started. It was the ordering her out of the cab when she wouldnt pay the extra cost, it was dark, the sleet was freezing on contact, it was minus two degrees, and this was done without regard for the safety of the passenger.
I dont even think it is legal to double the cost in bad weather, and when does weather become "bad" is it when people choose to take a taxi as it is not nice to walk. Just becouse it gets busy is no reason to double prices.
if you went in a shop and it was busy would you expect the prices to double, or if it was three deep at the bar would you expect a price hike.
