These are part and parcel of any travel, and even if one carries one's suitcase oneself, there are vehicles that one has to hire and on whose honesty one has to depend. It may be unlikely that a tourist has been to the same city twice to know the behaviour-pattern of the transport personnel, and so some amount of natural grit and general courage may be called for. A strong and steady attitude and general alertness may keep off the evil, if there be any, and thus one may depend more on one's practical sense and nature than on any other source.

Cool courage and unruffled calmness may sometimes be more than effective, and even if the worst comes to the worst, one should never lose one's head but should hold one's ground with determination and strength. In all such encounters, weakness in a person is disagreeable to the other person who is to deal with the former.

A traveller who is nervous and panicky from the first and shows his suspicion openly makes it diffi­cult for another to help him and some kind of a row is a possible natural consequence. If, on the other hand, such a person is confident and amiable and engages the other man in pleasant conversation, being alert and observant at the same time, some sort of liaison or rapport may be established between the traveller and the transporter, and the latter may provide best service to the former. Some travellers may treat the driver or the transporter very kindly and in a friendly way. He may treat the latter to all kinds of food and even lunch and dinner that the traveller may be having for himself. Such behaviour, no doubt, endears the traveller to the transporter and in such a sort of good and gracious relationship, the chances of misunderstanding are very few. It is, therefore, through love and friendship that the foreign or any tourist has to win the transporter over to his side because it is naturally advisable to avoid an unpleasant situation or a scene. Certainly, in the face of inevitable evil, the traveller has to put his foot down and take his stand firmly, come what may.
