NYC taxi drivers overcharged by more than $8 million

They switched the meter to double the rate, $0.80 per fifth of a mile, the rate they can charge in Westchester and Nassau Counties, but not in New York City.

Pretty sure I’m one of the poor schmucks they ripped off. There were times — always late at night, after I’d had a few — when I was sure the meter was ticking up way too quickly.

Taxi drivers tick me off.
