NYC tip #4

Cabbing in NYC is a 50/50 shot. Before, cabbies were pretty honest because you could lose your hack license if you screwed people. Nowadays under Bloomberg or if you’re a tourist, I guess it dun matter…
The cabbies going to the Hudson and to Norma�s were OK when we arrived in NYC.
Honest and good drivers.
But the one today that was supposed to get us to Penn Station @ 1530 on a weekday naturally went down Broadway.
Straight into a San Francisco traffic jam.
When I asked about the route, he said something like �could be traffic�. I responded that he may have picked this route to run up the fare. No reply. And the meter ran. And ran. And ran.
Finally, when it hit $6, we jumped out @ 49th Street and took the Subway to Penn Station instead. Left him stuck in gridlock where he thought he was going to make money off of us. He ain’t gettin’ any fares sitting in that mess!
Rat Bastard.
