Sobre este Trap
Licensed taxis queue at official ranks, such as the one in Piazza Luigi di Savoia at Stazione Centrale. Unlicensed drivers who approach arriving travelers are a known complaint, and local taxi drivers have protested about them. Ignore offers at the station or airport exit, walk to the rank, and ask for the meter or the official fixed fare where one applies, for example on the airport runs. If you prefer, book a taxi through a licensed app.
