3 is illegal. You can report the taxi for not picking you up for any reason if their on-duty light is on.

- bko 11y agoI doubt many people actually go to the effort of reporting these taxis. Just ask minorities in outer boroughs who have been complaining about this for decades.
- odonnellryan 11y agoI understand. I'm not trying to misplace blame, but if they aren't reporting it to officials, how can they expect something to be done? Stories of not getting picked up and rumors of complaints are not the same as "Taxi number ZX123 did not pick me up, though they were on duty and looked directly at me hailing him". There is no proof of the incident, but at least there is the official record. It gets logged, it's a statistic, and it's something officials in the city can state: "we've had X number of complaints this year about taxis. This is up twice from last year."
