Gothamist's new favorite blog is New York City Hack, which is written by a female cab driver, M.P. M.P. recounts the ups and downs of picking up teenagers, driving in Midtown during the U.N.'s World Summit (don't do it), and which New Jersey drivers suck the most. Plus, there are posts about life at the garage - now we know Pac-Man is part of the decor. Now, if we could only find one for a subway engineer or conductor...
The NY Times ran an editorial supporting a fuel cost surcharge.

The hack blog is great. Thanks for the head's up.
i was looking around on blogger, and this other cabbie started one recently:

I like that picture. Three years actually sounds like a long time in new york..
Now I have a new respect for cabbies knowing what shit they have to go through.
Good find.
Thanks, blah blah, for the other link.
And it is thoughtful, enlightening blog. Most of my experiences with cabbies have been fine, except for the time the cabbie got into a fight with a livery cab driver and then the livery cab driver threw a brick (no joking) at the cab. That's when I jumped out and ran for my dear life.
