Taxi Cabbie Confessions

vidyarts
Over 12,000 yellow cabs ply the streets of New York, a city icon since their introduction 100 years ago. Cabbie Voices is a snapshot of the fascinating people in the driver's seat, and their stories of one of the most interesting jobs in the Big Apple.

    • I got my hack license in 2002 after getting my pink slip from my dotcom great job and I drove for 2yrs. It is true you meet all sorts of people and it's very interesting I hope someday they will have more protection for injuries and medical benefits which they do not have it's a dog eat dog world but you still could hustle a living and the best is making your own hours....God Bless all my ex-cabbie friends from the lot in LIC......

    • I love NYC it's so cool, everyday & night there's always something to do, and in the summer, you don't need to go home but to take a shower., but then again you don't even need to go home to do that. The cab drivers do put in a lot of work, but so does everyone else, it's a hard working city, and no one sleeps, but that's also a problem. Nice pod brue.

    • well first of all i drive in a city everyday. people dont hate them for no reason. these taxi drivers are the biggest a..holes that i ever seen. these guys will cut you off, push you out of your lane, and since they share their cabs with other drivers they are very careless,and extreme aggressive driving is their moto, plus they never signal or obey basic driving rules, they are very rude. This video is pure propaganda, if you live in new york you know. " you can make a lot of money driving a cab" yea you do , by driving like a reckless idiot with no compassion for other drivers on the road which is about 90% of all the taxi drivers. YOU CAN MAKE ANYONE LOOK GOOD ON TV, MAKE THEM THIS SUPER "SWELL" GUY OR GIRL.
