And even then, the character he adds to our city, which is becoming more and more sterile and predictable every day, is worth it. I say let him do his thing. And that's coming from a fellow cabdriver.Gusgamashuq Abunoori https://www.blogger.com/profile/02551960403810485899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914028.post-1153946706302907382006-07-26T16:45:00.000-04:002006-07-26T16:45:00.000-04:00Oh my GOD what a nutcase!

His name is Ray. He's an old-time cabbie who has been at war with the TLC for many years. He's eighty something years old, a charming fellow, one of the great characters in NYC. He once let me drive that car around the block by myself even though he barely knew me. He learned that the TLC has no jurisdiction over you if you give free rides. He accepts tips, although no one is obliged to do so. The truth is people usually pay more than they would have paid if a meter had been on, because people are basically good and want to keep their exchange in. (Try telling passengers your meter is broken one night and see what happens.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914028.post-1138338820257144222006-01-27T00:13:00.000-05:002006-01-27T00:13:00.000-05:00Too funny!

I guess one clue to know if it was me would be to match my initials here to the name on the hack license that is displayed behind every driver's head in the cab.M.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08367560859705244696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914028.post-1128402538616193852005-10-04T01:08:00.000-04:002005-10-04T01:08:00.000-04:00Keep up the blog.. really enjoying it. crossing ...Keep up the blog.. really enjoying it. crossing my fingers that one day I'll hop in your cab.
