The app I like for other places doesn't work here, so I decided to try a local one. It didn't seem to be working with my bank card, so I paid for two trips with cash. Then I got a call from the driver who brought Asya and me back from the tax office. He said that actually the app had taken money from my card, so he found the other driver who we had ridden with on a different trip, brought back the money for both those times and left it for me with someone at the door to the church. Not only are these drivers out there on the roads without traffic lights, dodging drones (in the snow now, too), they're incredibly honest and kind.
I still carry the note he left with the money in my wallet as a reminder about kindness and honesty.
A detail that I didn't share before: this taxi was in such bad shape that I wasn't sure it could go as far as we needed to, and the driver appeared not to have bathed in a while. But the car and its owner both showed me not to worry about appearances.
