taxi

Every visit to New York City feels electric: the taxi horns, the aroma of fresh bagels and grilled kebabs, the excited chatter spilling from every corner.

When a taxi driver blocked his path to end the rampage, he allegedly fired a shot into the air from a blank-firing pistol and fled on foot.

The other is a 39-year old French national who worked as a deliveryman and taxi driver.

It’s a breeze to get around, too, with access to major interstates, airports, passenger rail service, as well as water taxis and a bustling cruise ship boarding seaport.

Minibus taxis that ferry workers around the city often drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid rush hour traffic.
