No sugar-coating WITH VERISM
This is an example of the literary device known as verism, i.e, capturing life with stark, unembellished authenticity.

When the vehicle does arrive somewhere close, you and a dozen others rush to peer at the number plate to see if it is the cab you had booked. It can get quite frantic.
