                <description><![CDATA[Paris taxi drivers seem to have a problem with carrying more than three people. We were surcharged for a family of three adults and one child with various excuses given, including an additional charge for luggage! Use the Metro whenever possible, and buy a carnet of 10 tickets for both adults and children (1/2 price).]]></description>

Your only option is to join the line at the railway station.  - If no cabs pass by or all of them are busy, try calling a company with a radio dispatcher from a phone booth. Pretend to call from an appartment. The operator will ask you for an address and a phone number. Give the nearest number in the street where you are, and the calling number displayed in the phone booth.]]></description>
