Taxi Cab Justice

If you've followed this blog at all you know that I have really struggled with love, hate and guilt when it comes to New York City cab drivers. I've fought with them, yelled at them, stiffed them and even tried being nice to them. Though, I have had some amazing experiences in cabs talking with drivers who've lead incredibly interesting lives, I always feel like when I'm in a cab they are "takin' me for a ride" as it were. But when I read the latest report from the Taxi and Limousine Commission about how NYC cabbies have gauged riders out of $8.3 MILLION, I'm pissed! Although I'm also feeling a little vindicated on this one - I mean I did call it, after all - but from now on I'll be even more on my guard when traveling around the Big Apple - and you should too!
