Re: Taxi drivers so angry about Uber ‘it’s going to be out of control,’ union
leader warns, July 7. I have been taking taxis in the city since 1976. I have
had to pay to ride in filthy cars reeking of cigarette smoke with drivers who
are belligerent, aggressive, unpleasant, listen to the radio while on the phone
at the same time, or drivers who do not listen to where we are going and have
taken me on joyrides through the city. In many cases, they do not know where we
are going. via
