Just as we’re celebrating the return of the late night/weekend L-train, New York City transit takes another blow: this time in the form of a cab fare hike.

But before you go cursing the name Travis Bickle, keep in mind that this was a tax imposed on cab drivers by the MTA, and the drivers themselves are decidedly unhappy about it. From the article:

“It’s going to be affected, because it’s going to be too much [money],” said one driver. “Like after 4 o’clock, it’s going to be almost $5 just sitting in the car.”

“Why are we paying for the MTA?” asked another cab driver. “We don’t have any benefits from the government. So this is not good.”

Not good, indeed.
