Well, our taxis take longer routes as well to get to the 30 euro extra.

The train costs 4 euro, by taxi it's on average 45-50 euro, but could also easily be 60 euro's.

For a tourist it's not very clear what is the best way of transportation; hence, very easy to get ripped off. When the price differce is 10-15 times the price of a train ticket that is supposed to make you wonder



For a single rider that's not pressed for time, sure a taxi is going to be 10x costlier than rail, but add in multiple people (esp. kids) and a healthy dose of luggage and suddenly it's 2-3x as expensive and possibly quite worth it.
