Ain't uber airport the better alternative? You know the price in advance and can be pretty sure not to get overcharged.

    Uber, Bolt, Cabify, Lyft...

    There's loads. Just research before you go and download the apps prior to the trip.

    Not only does it show the price, the whole journey is tracked.

    Something similar happened to me in Prague too! Why is Prague so prevalent for taxi scams?

    It has been for 50+ years. The taxi union (mafia?) is very strong. Their head is a well-spoken and criminal driver who gets lots of money for lobbying. They protest by deliberately causing massive traffic jams.

    Just don't use a taxi in Prague, the other options are usually better.
