The average New Yorker spends at least a few hours of their life sitting in the back of the taxi cab. While the rides have become mildly more entertaining with the addition of television screens, I still have spent a significant amount of time with my own thoughts. These reflections include:
1) What kind of driving test do taxi drivers take?
I have a feeling it goes something like this:
-Do you have feet to push the pedal?
-Are you not blind?
-You pass!
2) Who came up with the lighting system to identify available taxis?
-Why does 2 lights = off duty, 1 light = available, but no lights = taken? I am always disappointed by the lights.
-It should be lights = available, no lights = not available. I don't care whether the driver is off duty or busy; I can't get in the cab regardless.
-How do lights help to identify cabs DURING THE DAY?! (Hint: they don't)
3) How is it that taxi drivers are ALWAYS on the phone?!
-To whom are they talking?!
-How do they never run out of things to say to their friends/family/fellow drivers?!
I fear that I may never learn these answers...
