I have yet to catch his cab, but Mr. Geography’s reputation around Toronto is astounding, he and Chuck Norris could even be in the same joke category!
Mr. Geography (Mohammad Saaed Collins) has been quizzing passengers with geography trivia since 1997 with the condition that if you are able to stump him or get a single question right, the ride is free!
But not so easy, he has only ever given out a few rides and even the Guinness Book of World Records wants to recognize his knowledge. He literally knows everything about Geography and through his site claims to have memorized the Atlas.
Not a small feat of achievement, and most definitely an entertaining cab ride in Toronto!
