In Australia we get in the front, if i was a cabbie and someone got in the back i'd be very nervous.

It's not weird sitting next to a stranger?

Or are Aussies just chatty with eachother?

Yes but this tradition usually breaks as soon as it's an Uber or Lyft.

I think I tried getting in front once and the driver said "no, get in back"

And yeah, generally in big cities you sit in the back unless there are more than 2 people. Crime in our cities is huge compared to Australia

But if there in the back they can attack you and it's harder to defend.

Uber and Lyft rules, last time I checked, make you get in the back for COVID reasons.

Anyway, it seems to be a cultural thing, a dude can pull a gun or knife on you regardless of what seat he's in.

Ah I wasn't aware, hadn't been in one since the pandemic started tbh.

A lot of them have a pane of glass, sometimes bulletproof dividing the front and back seat.

Yes it's different here than other countries. In the middle east it would be considered a big insult if a single occupant got into the back of a taxi alone, unless it was a girl.

I was with my family one time when my Dad was hella drunk and he rode in the front of an Uber. The guy was driving a stick shift and my Dad insisted that the driver let him do the shifting. He was so persistent that the driver actually let him do it for a while lmao

you get in the front seat?!? i've only ever seen that with large groups

i got a lyft to work one morning and the old-ass driver was munchin on a bag of grapes he had in the passenger seat.

I don't personally but I have a family member that drives rideshare for a living and it's not uncommon.

I guess when they stopped complaining about it I didn't think it was due to some new covid regulation now that I think about it. Makes sense.
