NEW YORK - New York City yellow cab drivers say they are finally getting a break after struggling financially. The Taxi and Limousine Commission has voted in favor of raising fares for the first time in 10 years.
I was in a pinch last week and ended up paying a taxi $115 from SFO to Stanford University, about 34 miles. I had to enter the address for my friend from Eritria, who spoke very little English. My tip to him...learn to speak English.
That's a cheap price to get the f*** out of New York City.
