I finally was able to flag a cab that was unable to take credit cards and didn't turn on their meter. We had to stop twice before finding a usable ATM. So traveling three miles within greater downtown should be worth that grief when the rental rate would buy 24-hour transit in another major city? It's not worth it. But I'm staying. Because I'm an enabler and love being abused, I guess.
