| In my experience taxi drivers that do this are very uncommon in Korea. I use taxis every weekend, and despite the long distance from downtown to my residential area the taxi drivers nearly always take exactly the same route. I think that if you request your destination in decent Korean (as another Korean would do ie. .........���ּ���) then the taxi driver probably feels that you know your way around. |

No, they don't. I always request in Korean. Additionally, I responded to the taxi driver's horrible English in Korean.
The other times they took longer routes, I had had conversations with the drivers in Korean.
I think just paying the normal amount is the best bet, but at the time I only had 10,000 won bills. Maybe I'll "verify" the standard fee before I get in next time. |

Out of 50 taxi rides I only get stung once. I guess you are less fortunate. |

I think in 2.5 years(about 500 taxi rides I would think), i have only had one problem with fares.
I just got my pen and paper and jotted down his number.
Couldn't get me out of his taxi quick enough. |
