As I was sitting in a cab on my way to the travel immunization clinic (for my yellow fever shots) a few weeks ago, we drove past a gas station where I saw that gas had gone over $4.00 a gallon. At that moment, it dawned on me that despite the huge increase in gas prices over the past 4 years, I have not seen an increase in taxi fares. How is this possible? Who's losing out here? Are the cab companies taking in less money (which would be hard to imagine) or is it the drivers that are suffering? Why the hell haven't they raised taxi cab fares in the city? Not that I'm complaining about it...
