Please Check for Snakes When Exiting the Cab

Posted by Brooklyn Mark on December 17, 2011

WITH foot-deep potholes, jagged pavement and rough cobblestones reminiscent of the rough-riding streets of the meatpacking district, the road is unmistakably New York — except for the road runners and coyotes.

Homeless Guy Busted For Hailing Taxis For Tips

Posted by Brooklyn Mark on November 28, 2011

The NY Times ran across an obscure NYC rule that prohibits anyone hailing a taxi cab for someone “not in his or her social company.” Which is why Juan Bannister, a homeless man who got a cab for someone at 7th Avenue in Midtown (and received a $1.50 tip), got into trouble …

Posted by Brooklyn Mark on November 28, 2011

“The Taxi of Tomorrow” isn’t tough enough. A group of cabdrivers insists that the city’s one and only choice of vehicles for the future — the $29,000 Nissan — won’t stand up to the wear and tear of what it describes as “the poorly maintained streets of New York.” The …

NYC Hails High-Tech ‘Taxi of Tomorrow’

Posted by Brooklyn Mark on November 7, 2011

New York City’s “Taxi of Tomorrow” doesn’t fly, drive itself or talk to passengers.

C-DUBBZ: Weekly Driver, that is crazy! glad you are ok now and no one got hurt :/

Weekly driver: Yesterday I experienced a total break failure. My cab kept rolling even with pumping the break pedal, but that was like stepping into butter. Luckily, I had a second to use the hand break, but imagine if there is a biker or pedestrian. Hand break is for secure the car when parked, and at speed could not stop the vehicle in time. I checked the break oil, that was OK. I restarted the cab (Ford Escape), and then the break worked again. Did anyone else have this type of problems with their cabs?
