"Just grab a cab." It sounds so easy, and when Fortune smiles on you, it is: swing into the back seat, give your destination, and be carried there by a cheerful, competent, professional driver by the most direct route. Unfortunately, that's not always how it works out, and here are a few tips to help make your trip as pleasant as possible.
Taxis in the city of Chicago are plentiful and reasonably adept at finding their way around downtown proper. You will be less likely to choose a taxi to go to more remote locations, not only because of the prohibitive cost, but because you may encounter serious resistance. Cabbies are not allowed to refuse to accept you as a passenger just because of where you want to go, but it may be better to take such a cabbie's name and medallion number, and report him or her at a later date, than to force a reluctant driver to take you to the suburbs. You should always have a map, decent directions, and a pretty good idea how long the trip should take before you embark on a journey outside downtown.
Take note: your cabbie is a driver, not a tour operator, and may or may not speak perfect English or know where Chicago's best Chinese food, hottest nightclub, or cleanest washrooms are. Determine where you are going before stepping into the taxi.
