Should right down their license numbers and report every one of them that tries this nonsense. Be sure to tell them too as you get out of the cab and find another one.
From the New York Times: Roads: Private cars will be allowed on New York City streets. Taxis will accept shared rides and will be priced on a zone system: $10 for trip within one zone; $5 more for each additional zone; other boroughs are each one zone.
These are CAPS intended to FAVOR the passenger and prevent gouging in group ride situations. (You don't want the meter running while the cab goes out of its way to drop someone else off.) These fares actually aren't bad at all, although they do make short trips more expensive than they would be in a non-emergency. I mean, $10 from Washington Heights to LES? $30 from JFK to Astoria? I'll take it!!!
try complaining to the tlc. it's almost useless. and you HAVE TO APPEAR at a hearing for the tlc to follow-up on the complaint. tlc says they have a way to process the complaint through a phone process but they don't follow-up on that either, unless many folks complain about the same thing, or driver you are in tlc limbo. i think the drivers know that.
Tell that to the senior citizen I spoke with who was going from 12th to 19th st and had an asshole cabbie near kill her speeding off when she complained about the $10 price. THANKS BLOOMBERG, another freebie to T&L.

These are the official rates decided on by the city. Reasonable, too. Stop complaining.
yep these rules are just fine by me.
