Rejoice! Cabbies Will Be Fined For Refusing To Take Your Ass to Brooklyn!
We've all been there. Saturday, 3AM. Somewhere in Manhatty. Too many G&T's. After twenty minutes of searching you finally locate the ONE cab that's not occupied or off duty:
Cabbie (cracks window, doesn't come to complete stop): Where you going?
You: Park Slope (then, quickly) but like RIGHT over the bridge off of Flatbush!
Cabbie: Nope, going uptown (speeds off).
You: (shakes fist in air) FUCK YOU!!
Well you know what? The next time a cabbie pulls that shit you can just pull out your smartphone and call 311 to report their ass (If you're sober enough to have copied down the license number).
Yesterday Mayor Bloomberg signed a bill that will fine cabbies $500-$1000 for overcharging fares or just flat out refusing to bring your drunk ass from midtown to Union Street.
Rock. On.
