this absolutely drives me insane ..... why cant they just turn on the freaking meter and take me home. It annoys the crap out of me that they can drive you a half a mile out of one zone and charge you an extra 6 -8-10 dollars at a whim...

I refuse to pay sometimes until they call it in and I hear the price from the dispatcher......

I'm so tired of taking cabs home from work and them making up a number for how much my fair is going to be. Why don't they have meters? Why do the ones that HAVE them never use them, or tell you numbers other than what is right in front of you? Why isn't this regulated at all in Jersey City and Hoboken! So aggravating!
