When credit card machines were installed in cabs, did you see your tips increase, decrease, or stay about the same as before?

Asked by Cole-train over 13 years ago

They have gone slightly down just because of the "voucher" fee.  There is a $3 service charge to use a credit card in a cab that is refered to as a voucher which most people think we share in.  One more reason is that we used to frequently get a $20 bill for a ride that was say $15.50 now we get like 20-30% which is still not bad but not $4.50.

I want to take a cab from the quad to Freemont St. But I am by myself - will (can) the driver walk with me down Freemont St?

Asked by Kay almost 13 years ago

I guess it depends on the driver however I would not just for the simple fact I would lose over an hour of work, unless in was worth my time money wise.  That being said there is no danger in walking down freemont by yourself, not anymore than walking down the strip by yourself there is security everywhere and is very well lit.  Downtown is one of my favorite places to go when I have family and friends in town you dont have anything to worry about

How common is it for women to try to get out of paying their fare by threatening to make a false accusation of sexual assault, and do cabbies avoid picking up single women after dark due to this threat?

Asked by Psteverific almost 13 years ago

I have honestly never had this happen so therefore not afraid to pick up women.  However women are worse tippers than nen so i dont like it lol
