You talkin’ to me?
Don’t be afraid to talk to taxi drivers or I should say to listen to them.
Recently, I used the cab a lot for work and I’m always amazed about how much I learn from taxi drivers; they seem to have a unique point of view on small and big topics: politics, economics, sports…
It’s not the politically correct tone that you usually find in work conversations, dinners, newspapers and TV shows.
I guess they meet so many people, they seem to have the ability to measure the mood of a country or a city, a bit like a thermometer.
If you talk and listen to them, they might be able to share these little gems of insights with you.
