And they cant come from individuals like you or me they have to come from registered companies. Worst case the bad ones cant be air delivered. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

Did they expect the cab to pull up and just leave in it with all the police around? lol. I'll respond to your complaints for fun. 1- I have also been in a situation where someone tried to rob me. Guy demanded my money whilst pulling a syringe out of his bag. I was lucky the car was stopped and I just jumped out of the vehicle before he had a chance to think. No injuries thankfully. Every situation is different. 2- Taxi drivers do not get enough respect for the situations we are put in....You have to be on your toes all the time....Keep your head on your shoulders. 3- Crappy cars are part of the game. Stick with it and you might get a nice one. Customers can be fooled into thinking its a nice car by keeping it clean. 4-Try the other companies till you find your niche. 5- Being a taxi driver means being frugal with your money. You can either drive faster or work more hours, not many other options than that. Also about being home on your down time...Do they not suggest you drive around the malls/grocery stores/bars looking for random customers (street orders is what we call them here)? 1982 CX500 custom    Report
