Some people in Aus consider it snobby to sit in the back if you are one person.. as in, a class thing. There is a cultural pride in everyone at least having the appearance of equality.

Yes, I agree with that. I would be worried about offending a driver if I was alone and got in the back and I guess for a male passenger that belief would be even stronger.
The only time I can remember getting in the back seat when I was not accompanied by another human passenger is when I had a cat in a cat carrier.
Back. And don't talk to me.

That must make determing where you want to go and charging you tricky...
It seems so.Many Australians sit in the front seat but that might be a cultural thing.
I've taken cabs in NYC, New Haven, Providence, Boston and Dallas. Only once, when I was with my entire family (5 of us), do I recall my father having to sit up front while us girls crammed into the back. As I generally was alone, and am a woman, and the cabbies I've dealt with can't drive for beans, I felt much safer behind the glass in the back seat. That said, I prefer subways, trains, light rail, buses and trollies when possible.
Where do you think those NYC cabbies come from?Take a cab in Cairo. Or Mumbai. They make NYC cabbies appear downright cautious!![]()
