An argument about a taxi ride to the Bronx ended with the driver committing a hit and run. A group of guys hanging out tried to get a cab to the Bronx and the damn cab driver refused. They called the police and went to nearest Police Precinct. Once at the precinct, the cab driver was told to take the guys to the Bronx. I guess the cab driver didn't like what he was told and decided running them over was a better idea.
According to the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission, a taxi rider has the right to go to any destination in NYC (That means ALL 5 boroughs), Westchester, Nassau, or Newark Airport. My friends and I have gone through this; cab drivers rolling down their window, asking what our destination is before we get into the cab, and deciding whether they would take us to our requested destination. we have also been in the cab already and the cab driver hears Bronx and he changes his mind. THIS IS WRONG!!!
You are a cab driver. It's your JOB to drive from point A to point B. If you don't like going outside Manhattan, then driving a cab is not the job for you. It's ridiculous. Now a young guy is in intensive care because an idiot didn't want to do his job.
Stay Tuned.
