16. How well do you know this city?
How to Answer
Everyone likes a knowledgeable and confident taxi driver! Getting your passengers to their destination in the most convenient way possible depends on your navigation skills and familiarity with the area. The interviewer would like to know how well you can get around in the city, and surrounding areas. If you are new to the area, you should let the interviewer know this, but also follow up with some of your current knowledge about the city.
Familiarize yourself with the favorite spots where people usually hail a cab. If you know the city well enough, then impress the interviewer with your knowledge of the shortcuts and where and when heavy traffic occurs.
