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…
\nThe cabbies going to the Hudson and to Norma\ufffds were OK when we arrived in NYC.
\nHonest and good drivers.
\nBut the one today that was supposed to get us to Penn Station @ 1530 on a weekday naturally went down Broadway.
\nStraight into a San Francisco traffic jam.
\nWhen I asked about the route, he said something like \ufffdcould be traffic\ufffd. I responded that he may have picked this route to run up the fare. No reply. And the meter ran. And ran. And ran.
\nFinally, 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!
