You can trust the price and not get shaken down, I had to take a local small town taxi the other day and they charged me $20 for a very short ride with no meter

You can trust the price and not get shaken down, I had to take a local small town taxi the other day and they charged me $20 for a very short ride with no meter. I needed a ride from queens to NJ and many cab companies simply hung up on me. I dislike uber the company but cabs were worse, for me.
