You know, I always want to take a yellow cab home from the airport to support the taxi drivers who, a few years ago, were killing themselves in large numbers due to the medallion debt. But I’m not even home yet and the fare is already above what I’d have paid with Uber. It’s a shame.

yeah, it's tough! supporting local drivers is great, but those fares can be wild. hope they find a way to balance it all out soon! 🚖✨
