Eh, NYC taxi service definitely hasn't always been great. During my one visit in 2003, cabbies refused to go anywhere but Manhattan or the airport. And in Manhattan, it was impossible to get a cab.
I'm glad to hear it has improved. Almost as glad as I am that rideshare exists now.
- yupper32 5y agoI don't know NYC in 2003, but that was nearly 2 decades ago at this point. A lot has changed in 18 years. Hell, 2003 was the first time the subway systems stopped taking coins.
- rmah 5y agoI lived in NYC in the 1990's and early 2000's too... and, IMO, taxi service was fine to great in NYC. Hold up youhr hand and 9 times out of 10, you had a cab within 5 minutes or less. It was better than any other city I travelled to, perhaps with the exception of London.
