Thanks for the warning! Yeah, those unofficial drivers are a real pain at Vitebsk station. Always use Yandex Taxi or official cabs—they're way cheaper and safer. 20 BYN is a total rip-off for city center. Spread the word!

Hmm, I get your caution, but not every driver there is a scammer. 20 BYN to the center from the station is actually pretty standard for a private car. Did you agree on the price before getting in? If he tried to change it after, yeah that's shady, but maybe just clarify the deal upfront next time. The official taxis are way more expensive anyway.

Yeah, I've seen those guys too. They hang around the station exit pretending to be official taxis. Last month, a friend paid 25 BYN for what should've been a 10 BYN ride. Always use Yandex or Uber—same price, no hassle. Good you dodged that one.

Yeah, you're right to warn people. I always tell visitors to use the official taxi apps like Yandex or Uber—they show the price upfront. The unofficial guys at Vitebsk station often quote a good rate then jack it up when you arrive. Also, the tram or bus to the center is only a couple rubles and runs frequently. Thanks for sharing your experience—hopefully it helps others avoid that hassle.
Afterlife
I understand your concern, but I think it's a bit harsh to call it a scam. As a local, I know that unofficial drivers at Vitebsk station often offer rides for around 20 BYN to the center, which is actually cheaper than official taxis. The key is to agree on the price before getting in. If the price changes after, that's a scam. But many drivers are just trying to earn an honest living.
