In my experience, there have always been two kinds of taxi drivers. The first asks how long I’m planning to stay and when they learn I’m flying back out the same day, they offer to pick me up for the return trip to the airport.  This is the taxi-driver version of an account manager.

The second type ignores me, talks on his phone, gets me where I’m going and looks for his next fare.  A hunter.  Purely transactional.  Just like a salesperson who knocks on doors.

But yesterday, I met a third type.  He was a type 2, but with time management skills.
