In a report prepared by examining over 450 Reddit posts and more than 30,000 comments, it was found that Istanbul, in particular, has become infamous on this globally renowned platform. The city's taxi drivers have been singled out for their tactics such as overcharging tourists, taking unnecessarily long routes, and using faulty taximeters. These practices have propelled Turkey into an unenviable leadership position on the platform.
