Taxicab Rider Bill of Rights
[Commentary in brackets.]
As a taxi rider, you have the right to: -
Direct the destination and route used;
-
Travel to any destination in the five boroughs of the City of New York [I've been denied a good few times; admittedly, the proposed trip has generally been short, as in four blocks];
-
A courteous, English-speaking driver who knows the streets in Manhattan and the way to major destinations in other boroughs;
-
A driver who knows and obeys all traffic laws [Pardon as I take a few minutes to mop up the Diet A&W still pluming like a fountain from my nostrils];
-
Air-conditioning on demand [Really? Well I'll be. Thing is, presumably the driver w/ the cab so bloody-hot the backseat is spouting flames is in no place to meet such a demand];
-
A radio-free (silent) trip;
-
Smoke and incense-free air;
-
A clean passenger seat area;
-
A clean trunk;
-
A driver who uses the horn only when necessary to warn of danger [Please allow me several hours to recover from the gut-busting fit of hysterics I'm presently doubled over in]; and
-
Refuse to tip, if the above are not complied with [I'm such a softie].
