I live in S PHL and a driver tried to pull that “flat rate” shit with me. I had taken a cab to the airport, so I knew it wasn’t going to be $30+. I told him to run the meter. He told me to “Get out.”

I find it quite astonishing that the Irish stereotype stuff continues, whilst every other one has been banned, cancelled or made a hate crime to so much as mention.
If you put posters up in your window portraying mexican/jewish/asian/etc racial stereotypes then you'd quickly have a brick thrown through it and the police turning up.
Yet somehow a Irish character who (as such) is portrayed as permentantly drunk and up for starting a fight is ok and on sale in most shops.

don't even have to do anything illegal. just a few more cars on chestnut or walnut and the city is frozen. couple more people on the schuykill and vine street. too easy.

Making up someone up in your head and getting mad at them, a time honored internet tradition

It ain't HMPL, but a "where are they now?" follow-up vid could be fun.

You won't notice the paint fading under all the cars illegally parking in it.

If city council doesn't see a clear and obvious way to embezzle the money, they're not interested.

I hate uber. Uber is just another way to suck money out of the middle class and put it in the pocket of technocrats through the gig economy. Taxis wern't the best, but I would rather support the life of the person driving than some rich guys in silicon valley.

Other cities also make an attempt to enforce traffic and parking laws.

Everyone just illegally park in an intersection during rush hour. Shouldn't take too many to cause gridlock.

What is the card reader ploy some of these guys pull? I’ve never actually taken a taxi anywhere

How dare you suggest that drivers should pay any attention to cyclists, or pedestrians, or other cars on the road!

Yup. Lyft/Uber makes sense from home to the airport, and taxi makes sense on the way back. Same with 30th St.

Try Bella Vista Beverage. Their place is enormous and they have a large international section.

if you actually care about this and have your receipt or know your trip information, call the PPA taxi hotline. They take these complaints seriously
