I feel most people forgot that actual taxi's exist... The local cabbies were moaning they should make 3x-4x more on busy nights. On another note the city passed a law saying that all cabs need to debit machines and they need to be working. I know a few people who've got free rides after the driver said "Sorry the machine doesn't work" SOL Mr.Cabby I only have a CC but I'll gladly take down your license number and name.

Honestly, when I take a cab, I try to only use Beck. Clean, reliable, friendly, and never a problem. All the smelly drivers I had in the previous months where from other cab companies...

Aerofleet is also $35 +tip to the airport, but they all seem to charge 40-45 for the return.

Don't really care too much about $5-10 difference in prices in the end since I bill it to my clients since I'm travelling for their benefit.

the airport charges limos a fee to pick up at the airport. That is why it is more expensive to come from airport than to go to...I think
