If there's no contract then at the end of the journey and they try to rip you off, just pay what you're used to paying plus 50p. The fact that you've tendered anything at all means that it becomes a civil matter and the police won't get involved unless it becomes a breach of the peace.

Haha maybe-but I did have a huge bag with me (from work) so I doubt I could have bolted as fast as I normally would have done lol.
If he had have agreed a reasonable price in the beginning, even if it was slightly more than normal I wouldn't have reacted badly-I just wanted to go home. But wanting an upfront amount that we both knew was too much was just rude. |
