In the latest round of its epic 20-year battle against taxi rip-offs, Prague City Hall removed a group of alleged over-charging drivers from their stands at the tourist-heavy Old Town Square in mid-July. Punches flew as the drivers resisted police efforts to eliminate their lucrative parking places.
In August a court said the removal was illegal, and now the suspected con artists are back fleecing foreigners for more than three times the maximum rate of 28 korunas per kilometer established by city hall.
Given all of this, every guidebook warns against the scourge of Czech tourism: the crooked taxi driver.
