That's right, watch out I say-to the drivers of not one but two cabs who refused me service this evening. Some friends and I wanted to come home from Manhattan to Brooklyn with two stops-one in Ft. Greene and one in Park Slope. Lovely neighborhoods if I do say so myself. Well, both these cabs refused to visit.
And I quote from TLC's FAQ page (note use of excessive acronyms-I learned that from the nonprofit community):
• What are the rules concerning multiple-stop trips?
Drivers are not permitted to refuse passengers with more than one stop. There is no limit to how many stops are allowed. Keep in mind, the taximeter will run as one continuous trip; it is not turned off and then started again with every stop. You pay the entire fare at the end of your trip. If you encounter a situation where the driver refuses you service based on multiple destinations, get the taxicab medallion number, and contact us at 3-1-1 to file a complaint against the driver.
Being that I have friends in high places, or at least at the TLC, I will be following up on this one. Check back for more info on rule-breaking-mahattan-centric-multiple-stop-refusing cabbies
