I remember the last time I voluntarily took a taxi. Dropped my youngest son off at college. We needed to go to a Target store to stock up. Took a taxi. It was 3.4 miles. $26!! I complained and the cabbie said “You need to get used to New Jersey cab fares.”
Well, I’d taken my fair share of fares in NYC, NJ, SF, LA, Chicago and other high-cost transportation towns. $26 to go 3.4 miles seemed a bit unreasonable to me. I downloaded Uber while I was in Target and got an Uber back to the college. $12.
No sir. I don’t need to get accustomed to New Jersey cab fares.
