Reply to comment by kjuneja in New York taxi drivers to get first raise in 10 years, riders will pay 23% more by coolguy4206969

Which is 98% of the time for regular yellow cab riders. Yellow riders spend on average $150/day on yellow cabs. School run, work, errands, appointments & dinner all in Manhattan. A rando one time taxi rider complaining on Reddit is not the business case for a yellow.

Just go to one of those doorman buildings on Park Ave between 59 & 96th streets and ask them. Regular yellow taxi riders don’t have the time to get on Reddit and complain about yellow taxis. They just need their yellow taxis.
