The time they waste traveling between boroughs costs them a lot fairs they could be getting in Manhattan.
They make more money the shorter the trip. Just the way fares are set up.ghettoperson wrote:

Like, they make $1.50 as soon as anyone gets in their cab after dark.

Don't blame them either. They start off with <200 and need to make something out of that within 12 hours.
I know. I don't fault them one bit for wanting to squeeze as much money as they can out of a shift. I just know that I have to get in the cab before I tell them I want to go to Queens or they'll laugh in my face and drive off into the night.13/f/taiwan wrote:
