I have mixed feelings, I know everything changes depending on the demand for rides at the time, if you're in prime time like 7pm or 4pm, maybe you don't want to go to jersey, or say there is a huge accident in the tunnel, you want to charge for all the time in traffic. i'd say 30 from downtown, be willng to knock it down to 25 if there is no traffic and there are absolutely no fares at say sunday morning at 7am, we're desperate then. if it's coming from above 50th street and we're going farther like jersey city, then 45 seems right, with or without tolls depending on what you feel you can get away with. <br /><br />to each his own, we are each are own business professional. Have you seen the fare prices in the out of town fare book? you might want to charge accordingly, but I guess I have limited info in the post, perhaps it was very busy at the time and there was a lot of traffic, maybe it was a big hassle. <br /><br />I also think that indians can sometimes be a little more rude, my perception is that the business professional Indians have a little tendency to put the lower class in their place, while the white businessman or woman can sometimes be the opposite and sympathize with the lower class, but than again I am a white guy, so that is coming from a bias perspective. though as you may have read I have a bias much more so with Russians, particularly Russian women, they are the worst, ugh, but hey stereotypes were meant to be broken.<br /><br />good luck friend, I'm happy your blog eventually loaded today :-)NYC taxi photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675924502053024145noreply@blogger.com
