I know there are sooo many taxis in NYC its crazy and they are vishis drivers too.The few times i've been to NYC, it was hard to cross a crosswalk with out a cab driver beeping at you or almost running you over. I swear I would take one step into the crosswalk and the cabs bumper would be right up against my leg honking at me. My Dad was like come on Mer walk, we got the crosswalk signal. You really have to be on the move in NYC.
NYC has always had bad traffic and tons of taxis. I have a book of the history of NYC and it`s got pictures of NYC in the 1920s and 1910`s with tons of traffic and even photos of the 1800`s with tons of horses and carriages and tons of taxis with drivers sitting on top of a small carriage with a whip for the horse. That kind of carriage was called a cab which is where the word "cab" comes from.
The most recent study shows that 7 of the top 10 worst intersections are in nyc...5 of those 7 are different exits on the Cross Bronx Expressway, and the traffic is worse than Brooklyn, which would be the 4th largest city on its own
In Chicago, there's always traffic jams and they only have 2.8 million people there. No comparison when it comes to moving traffic in a big city like NY. Hell' the Port Authority Bus Terminal alone brings in 200,000 people in and out of the city virtually every day.
N LAa traffic isnt even that bad! they exaggerate! lolz thats what my friend said when she went to LA! read this from msnbc.msndotcom - "Based upon this data, if the traffic congestion rates since 2000 should continue, San Francisco and Chicago will have worse traffic congestion than Los Angeles by 2015," says Wendell Cox, principal of Demographia, a St. Louis-based public policy consultancy, and a member of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission from 1977 to 1985.
listen to you kid, i bet my dick is bigger then yours...you fuckin herb. Its a fact that NYC has worse traffic then Chicago, Its in every annual publication...in order, the top 20 worse traffic cities in the world are;
Tokyo, LA, Sao Paulo, Bangkok, Moscow, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico city, NYC, Seoul Chicago is 11th,Manila, London, Jakarta, Osaka, Caracas, Athens, Auckland, Rio De Janeiro, Kathmandu
um Chicago is just read this! imma copy n paste - Study: Chicago is 2nd Worst in Traffic Congestion
A new traffic congestion study released Wednesday says Chicago traffic has the 2nd worst congestion in the country just behind Los Angeles. - meanin Chicagos traffic is worst then NYC! have u drivin in Chicagos traffic lately! its ridiculous! NYC's traffic is bad but most ppl use mass transit!
Taxi drivers in NYC are the most reckless and dangerous drivers out there. They won't signal. They think most drivers are mind readers. If you are heading out the city, keep your eyes alert.
Definitely true. I got in my very first taxi in NYC and holly crap the guy was crazy lol. He was such an aggressive driver ... honking at everyone and such. Scary.
It use back in the 70s and part of the 80s officially white cab drivers. My dad was once a cab driver for the city. Now, everyone is Arabic, African, Albanian, Spanish, or Chinese. It was so different back in the old days.
Not to mention the birthplace to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Fiction, I know, but still....a very important part to entertainment as well as great NY pizzas.
sorry but that just looked gorgeous to me. London never "looks" that good with heavy traffic because NYC is built into a grid, London had it's buildings built first,then the roads came later,hence it looks like spaghetti from a plane
The parking situation in LA, even where some of my relatives live, is much more brutal than NYC. Though their road is so much smoother than NYC. That surprised me. Even as a New Yorker myself that was bred in worse road condition and knew a bumpy road when I see, I was surprise as to how smooth California roads are. You might have the most cars than us, but, damn, you had more smoother roads than us. ;)
Well I dunno what the parking situation is like in LA but it's a nightmare in Manhattan, Plus being on the F.D.R Drive is enough to give you a heart attack if you're an out of towner.

That is a lot of taxis, if someone signals for
one how do they determine which cab gets the
pickup since there are so many in one place?
It seems like you could have several cabs coming together at one place and causing an
accident all going for the same fare unless they do have some kind of system worked out.
