Carry some freaking cash.

"For decades" -- like, from the 1940s to the 2000s.

Fares were predictable. Still are in fact, they are actually painted on the exterior of the cab itself. Maybe you've noticed?

Taxis have hacked meters forever, take longer routes, and 'forget to turn on the meter' or the 'meter is broken' even today. There's a reason taxis have a fixed fare to manhattan from the airport.
