Is Taking a Cab More Cost Effective?
Despite the fact that gas prices have gone down a little in recent weeks, people are still bitter about getting their paychecks and then turning them right over to the attendant at the gas station. But not everyone is being affected so harshly by the high cost of gas. For instance, many of us would probably assume that in a major city like New York, where you have such a diverse group of people from all sorts of different socio-economic backgrounds, the price of gas wouldn't really be such a big deal because most people either walk, bicycle, take a cab or use the subway and bus systems. But what about the cabs-they're cars right? How Have the Gas Prices Affected Cabs? Driving isn't such a big deal for most people who live in New York City because most people don't drive themselves anywhere (or at least not nearly as much as other cities). If anything, many New Yorkers (if they're transporting themselves somewhere) are using motorcycles, mopeds or bicycles to navigate the often crowded and narrow city streets. One article in the New York Times mentioned how as gas prices have gone up, so have the cab fares. Cab drivers are now demanding a surcharge of approximately $1 per trip in order to increase the drivers' incomes as well as help out with the price of staying on the road. But is this fair? Riding in a cab is a lot better now than it used to be, but many passengers complain about the cab drivers' use of cellular phones and radios while navigating city streets and traffic. Then there is always the added annoyance of various drivers' apparently "taking their time" to get somewhere in an effort to inadvertently let the meter run a little. So, what should've been a 5$ ride magically turns into almost double the price. At the end of the day, we have to find a happy medium. Taking a cab shouldn't cost you any more money out-of-pocket than it's really worth...don't you think?
