My partner goes his mates house every week for drinks in the evening and gets a taxi there and back using a taxi app. I noticed while he was using the app that there was a recent address there that wasn’t his mates. I checked this address and it was about 800 meters (a good few streets away) from his mates house, 10 min walk. I asked him why it was there and he said he was at his mates as normal and he ordered a taxi from his mates but there must have been a glitch with the GPS and the taxi went there instead so he called another, then he also said it went there and it called him and he redirected it to his mates house where he was waiting… he can’t remember which because we was drunk. I checked the email receipt and the completed rides and they say that the taxi was ordered form the mystery address at early hours in the morning to our home. He said he has no idea how it’s happened as he was 100% picked up from outside his mates house. This has never glitched before, all other taxi rides have picked him up from his mates house; it’s on every receipt.
I did a bit more digging and found one of his business invoices to that exact address from 12 months ago. Tell me please… can a taxi app gps mess up that much that it pings you into a competely different street even though he orders a taxi every week for years? And how likely is it that this random
address has also been a previous customer of his company? He said he does not remember the customer because he didn’t deal with them and he was absolutely picked up from his mates and has never been to that address and it’s all a coincidence and glitch.
