Not sure about hippocampus but I've heard of a story where a Black Cab driver ripped off sightseers. 150 pounds from Heathrow to London, 20 years ago.

But, in most other places it is a given that they rip you off, and British cab drivers are generally very good, so are the Japanese ones. I've never got ripped off by an American or Canadian cab driver ether, but I speak English and I don't look a sightseer so I don't know how much value my anecdotal experience holds. I've heard Singapore is even better but It was over 20 years ago I visited there, so I don't really have the first hand experience...
