VIDEO | Poliția Locală a Capitalei a descoperit „maimuța" folosită de unii șoferi de taxi din București. „Mergeți la Gara de Nord, ăia nu au maimuțe, au urangutani" 😏 • Știri București

Local police in Bucharest have successfully apprehended a taxi driver using a device known as a 'monkey' to inflate fares. A video demonstrates how the device operates, increasing the fare with each press. Despite this success, locals are aware of the widespread use of such devices, particularly in areas like Gara de Nord, where they claim drivers manipulate prices significantly. Honest taxi drivers express frustration over the lack of consistent enforcement against these practices, which have led many to prefer ridesharing services instead. Recent police checks resulted in over 160 fines for taxi drivers violating regulations.
