<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 515227, member: 6463&quot;]I would have to agree with you that yes, there are folks in every proffession who are looking to make a fast buck off someone elses ignorance. I&#039;m not sure where you live but I take a lot of taxi&#039;s. I know that from 14th &amp; Gst to the Capitol is $8.50 and now that DC has meters in their cabs, it&#039;s much easier to police that. Tourists in DC don&#039;t take taxi&#039;s. Taxi driver&#039;s like coin dealers can smell a novice and sure they might take him for the scenic route. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know that a taxi from Laguardia to Midtown is $30 if you take the midtown tunnel and $35 if you take the tri-bourough bridge. While the cost is more, often the bridge is the quicker route to Times Square. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like with everything in life. Education is the key. Those who know more have an advantage over those who know less. the only way to not get ripped off is to know your coin series and not get swindled.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sure there are a lot of honest shop keepers and taxi drivers but you need to keep them honest buy knowing your hobby, your cars or your city.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your book analogy was quite humorous...charge us for ink and paper. I could envision you slamming your fist on the counter at Barnes &amp; Noble as you huffed and puffed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
