Silly me for thinking that this would even be worth posting on here

I applaud you, J. May their medallion hang on the wall of shame.

I've heard that they were having huge problems with this in Las Vegas, so they instituted an on the spot ombudsman you can call on your cell phone [[the number is posted in the cab.) If the cabbie gets more than two or three complaints, their license is pulled pending review. It cleared up most problems pretty quickly.

That's something the next mayor should look into instituting here.
