Yeah that was planned. He's trying to run up the meter. About 30-40% of cabbies will take you on the scenic route if you don't give them specific directions. You don't have to be painfully specific. Just give them a curt overview of the route you wish to take when you get into the cab.
Be ready to pay with cash. I'm ready to tip 25% for a no bullshit drive. If they want to put the tip in the meter instead of their pocket that's their call.
Leave if there is any bullshit with insisting on tips or cancelling payments. If he threatens you with police, call his bluff. 'Please call the police, we can both explain the route you took.'
