Here's another happy story I want to share with you. On a recent trip to NYC, I was shopping in midtown (I know, shocking), and looking for a taxi to return to my hotel in Tribeca. It was late afternoon, when all the drivers are changing shifts, and it's very difficult to find a taxi at this time of day. It's common for an available town car to stop and ask taxi-seekers if they want a ride for a slightly elevated price.
