Dragon harassment

[Buehrle, Michael]

Cab rides in most large US cities are exhilarating. Took a ride with a chap from Bangladesh while in NYC 20 years ago, thought I was going to die in a fiery Chev Impala crash as he passed traffic on the icy Brooklyn bridge at 80 mph.
I think the test for a taxi driver down there is that you must have a pulse...

Companies and States sometimes learn that it's valuable to at least reply.

I sent a mail to Washington Flyers' Taxi and asked them if it was normal
that the driver has private conversations during the ride on his phone
(so you can't understand the person you travel with anymore), lets you
move your luggage out of the car by yourself and drives off with the
door open. I did not expect any reply but got one.

I was, btw, really surprised about the level of service I got there, in
and around Washington DC. As bad as the cab drivers in Paris, but they
at least speak french ;)

I think my assertion that I would not even stop in Tn. while in my car on the way to Florida got his attention.
