So I got into one in the same situation, he got another rider to join (I was annoyed at this point but just wanted to get home). Then he told both of us there was a fee for using a credit card. I told him to stop the car, got my bag out and went to a yellow cab. Don't trust them.

Dangit. My driver just said 65 + bridge toll and didn't mention cc fees but either way, I can expense this lesson. :) Glad to hear the price is about right. Also "gypsy cabs" lol.. Very pc.

What do you mean D1? Uber wait was 10 mins and cab lines were far. Figured expensing a black car at a lower than black car rate would be decent.

Better hope the gypsy cab takes card

65 is reasonable from LGA. Gypsy cabs are a necessity in Bklyn and Queens.

Hey awesome mamas! What are your plans for when you have to go back to work but your kids are staying home either doing distance-learning or the hybrid model?

Also worried about having to help them with a lot of homework after I get home from work. Ideas?
