How often to the back seats get cleaned? What do they get cleaned with?

Asked by anon over 13 years ago

I am not sure what the answer to this question is, however I do know that there is a biohazard crew that has to clean them with whatever it is they use that is mandated by OSHA for the health and safety of the public. Im sure if you check out osha they might have the answer. The taxicab aurthority checks out the cabs on a monthly basis so at least every month

Why do cab drivers put the car in Park at red lights and then in Drive when the light turns green? My friend says that it's because it somehow makes the meter run up faster than if they just kept their foot on the brake.

Asked by dave over 13 years ago

I have seen a couple of drivers doin this and it made absolutely 0 sense to me just more work. As to what your friend says about making the meter run up faster, at least in vegas, it is absolutely not true. Meters in a Las Vegas cab run by time if the cab is going less than 8mph and it is set by time it goes up 20 cents like every 30 seconds or so whatever equalls up to $30/hr. I myself dont do this and don't know why anyone would.

I read that it is illegal for cab drivers to pick up fares on the strip except at cab lines. Is this current and correct?

Asked by Momatarms about 13 years ago

yes it is they will write you multiple tickets for it actually one for impeding traffic and another for loading passengers outside the rotation of a cab stand its pretty rediculous

On my last visit to Las Vegas I struck up a conversation with an off duty female driver. Any way to track her down. I know her first name began with an N, last name with a G and she was from the Philippines. Any help is greatly appreciated.
