Working Abroad – Taxi Tips
If you’re working overseas and you are planning to use taxis to get from the hotel to the office and back, create a taxi card.
- Use your favourite word processor to print the hotel address and the office address on a single sheet of A4 or letter-size paper.
- Use landscape mode and select a bold sans serif font at 36 point or more (the length of the address will determine the largest font size you can use – bigger is better).
- Arrange the addresses so that when you fold the paper in half longways there is one on each side.
- Print 3 or 4 copies (in case a driver inadvertently keeps one).
Now when you get in a taxi it’s easy to communicate your destination, even if the driver doesn’t have his or her reading glasses handy
