Driver penalized after overcharging US streamer following Travis Scott event
An Istanbul taxi driver has been fined and had his license revoked after taking a U.S. social media broadcaster to his hotel without using a taximeter following an event featuring Travis Scott in Istanbul.
American streamer Auger, who attended the event at Tersane Istanbul in Karaköy, boarded a taxi to head to his hotel in Taksim, just a short distance away from the venue, and livestreamed the journey.
Footage showed that the driver asked 50 euros ($58) for the ride, to which the streamer verbally agreed to, and failed to activate the meter.
After arriving at his hotel, Auger later claimed that 7,300 Turkish Liras ($136) had been charged to his card.
