Is it normal to be phobic of taxi cabs?
Ever since I was young I was always scared of things like getting kidnapped/raped by strangers, which is a big fear that taxi cabs might just be a branch of that bigger fear. I am always afraid that the taxi driver wont let me out and I'll be locked in the cab or that they wont go where I am going. Anything like that. It's not a racial issue either cause it wouldn't matter who is driving the cab, I'd still be terrified to get in cause you are 1-on-1 with a stranger. Public transit buses done freak me out because it's just that, public. Lots of people are always around so it comforts me.
I'd do anything in my power to find different forms of transportation to get to place to avoid having to call a cab. Is my fear normal?
