It's properly oriented with the zones clearly marked and relevant landmarks displayed. It's the same one I pointed out a while back.<BR/><BR/>Looks like Fenty is cleaning some shit up. Good idea starting with the cabs. Now to see what he does with that baseball stadium.Denizen of Tennallytownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424618796138242250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-54267627274187800622007-10-17T13:53:00.000-04:002007-10-17T13:53:00.000-04:00"Bad girl" you are a classy and thoughtful lady."Bad girl" you are a classy and thoughtful lady.Eriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416333783199418885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-53094276389626213742007-10-17T13:49:00.000-04:002007-10-17T13:49:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Eriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416333783199418885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-43567866352877074652007-10-17T11:59:00.000-04:002007-10-17T11:59:00.000-04:00YAY!

And they are terrible drivers who want nothing more than to rip off every person that sits in their car.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275315807177207735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-18728567982753756182007-10-17T09:56:00.000-04:002007-10-17T09:56:00.000-04:00The best cab experience I have ever had in DC was ...The best cab experience I have ever had in DC was in a gypsy cab. I expect I will continue to choose them whenever possible.<BR/><BR/>All this meter stuff is still not addressing two other egregious problems with our system:<BR/><BR/>1) Cabs can pick up other riders. How many times have I had a cabbie drive me home to Mt. Pleasant via 18th Street/Adams Morgan instead of Rock Creek Parkway!! A 10 minute ride becomes a 25 minute ride plus shouting match.<BR/><BR/>2) Stopping the cab to drop off a member of your party results in full fare (from the initial starting point) being charged to each member of the party. Even if it's on the way. <BR/><BR/>These both suck - but especially #2, which again is a situation that meters could solve.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522772121400618010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-20402396590742674692007-10-17T09:39:00.000-04:002007-10-17T09:39:00.000-04:00Call the mayor!!
