It will make my commute to LGA all the more quick and much more safe at that. A few nights ago three cabs were litteraly drag raceing through the terminal roads at 0130 in the morning and than a few minuites later both of them got taged by a PAPD officer.

The city should set up a health care plan?! These people are demented. They don't work for the city, they're private contractors. The union should set up its own health care plan like many other unions that represent employees of businesses that don't offer their workers insurance. The 5% credit card fee sounds like a lot but it is in line with what other businesses pay, especially in sectors that involve a high risk of chargebacks. I think once the whole fleet is fitted with credit card readers they will see a substantial boost in ridership...I can't tell you how many times I wanted to catch a cab but took the subway instead because I had a MetroCard but not much cash.
