Before people come in chiming for the good 'ol yellow cab days. A few things from a guy who lived in NYC for 24 years over 4 boros: - Good fucking luck getting a yellow cab in the outer-boros or Manhattan above 96th st. - Good fucking luck getting a cab in the rain. Why are their meteres turned off and why they are all suddenly OFF DUTY? Could it be the drivers are gouging desperate people with off-metered fares? No way, they'd never do that... - Good fucking luck not getting ripped off on the route. A ride from Greenwich Village to Park Slope shouldn't involve the West Side Highway ... - Good fucking luck getting one if you aren't white. - Where did these cab driver clowns think the money for those $1 million+ medallions is going to come from? Cheaper oil prices? sky-rocketing inflation? Sucker customers? E-hail (Uber, Lyft, Gett, Juno, etc) was a breath of fresh-fucking-air. The yellow cab industry did themselves in. That industry ddi themselves in and went down with their king Gene Freidman [0].
