Beware of "taxi" frauds!

I present the text written at Magiczny Krakow for future visitors to avoid unnecessary costs.
Here is the text as it's presented in krakow.pl

"Bearing in mind the safety and well-being of both Krakow inhabitants and tourists we wish to refer to the rights of clients using transportation services in our city. 

Due to cases of abuse of client unawareness we wish to warn tourists as well as inhabitants of Krakow against dishonest transportation service providers. This is to inform that there are two forms of transportation services in Krakow, i.e. TAXI and PRZEWÓZ OSÓB (people transport). TAXI service providers are required to place their price lists on their cars' side windows as well as inside the car. Price lists must display individual rates which shall not exceed maximum prices established by the City Council of Krakow. Taximeters are required to be installed in all taxicabs and the total fee for each ride is to be indicated only by taximeters.

Besides displaying their price lists in a visible place, carriers providing services as PRZEWÓZ OSÓB (people transport) are required to inform their clients of the fee for transport to their destination before starting a ride. Providers of this type of transportation services can freely estimate their transport rates, as maximum rate regulations concerning TAXI service providers are not applied to them."



My advise is to always call for the cab. 

Write down at least one of this numbers in your cell, you may need it when you'll be coming back from a party in the middle of the night.
