Taxi Fares: The Good News/Bad News
Did you know cab fares are going up by 50 cents on Sunday? They are. (And the money that will be collected is going to fund the MTA, ironically.) But it seems the meters in some taxis malfunctioned on October 22, 25 and 26 and some passengers were assessed the surcharge even though it hadn't gone into effect yet. So you can get a refund! Assuming you kept your receipt, that is, which you probably didn't. So never mind! [NYDN]
