Cab #6159

An exhilirating experience that may have included travel to distant planets.

Cab #5321

This bus is haunting us. And so is that radio station - what is that, WLIT?

A pro who uses every inch of available roadway - and attendant vertical air rights.

Posted on June 01, 2007

Cab #6052

Ray St. Ray, the Singing Cab Driver, is in so many ways the unwitting father of Taxi Cab Journal. Now he's back, like a world-weary former lover. Only without the awkward sexual tension and emotional baggage.

Cab #1889

This cab is sloshing and whirring. It's a creepy cab. And the driver is a phantom.

Posted on May 23, 2007

Cab #580

The highest burglar-shield-to-fare-window ratio yet experienced - somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 square inches of ballistics-rated plastic for every one square inch of open space.

Posted on May 21, 2007

Cab #5063

He's a serial lane-creator! Oh, was that us hitting the curb again?

Cab #6681

He didn't find the cancer and rape bit on the radio funny in the least, but chuckled at the Holocaust joke. So, you know. Kind of uncomfortable.

Cab #1490

Despite the nagging sense that no part of Driver #1490's barrage of facts and figures enhanced my ride or my life in any way, it was delivered with charm and genuine warmth.

Cab #843

Daring, a little crazy, ultimately kind of pointless, and oddly unsettling.

"Traffic," Mr. Cool sighed just as I wondered if it was getting hot in there or if it was just me and my car sickness.

Posted on February 17, 2007

Cab #2574

I've never known if van cabs were strictly for airport use or large parties; I confess, in my embarrassed ignorance, I've stood on cold corners and let van cabs go by with nary a wave. Not this time. Yet, the mystery continues.

Then, startingly, my driver shouted: "Ho's! Ho's! Pussy! Hookers, all up and down Madison! Clean! No AIDS!"

Cab #6604

A little too much like just getting a ride from a friend.

Posted on February 08, 2007

Cab #5746

How many service employees would be willing to float well-informed yet controversial moon landing hoax conspiracy theories in mixed company? That takes guts, my friend, and Driver #5746 has them in spades.

Posted on January 26, 2007

Cab #427

A scatting, velvet-voiced chauffeur can overcome the cheesiest of soft-jazz instrumentals.
