description: There are no secrets in a taxi. Each ride is like a book without a jacket; you don’t know what is inside until you pick it up. For over a decade Joyce drove the dangerous, diabolical, and devious, mixed with the confused, courteous, and kind. And unlike a book that can be put aside, the ride isn’t finished until the meter is turned off. Driving a taxi is comparable to holding the remote to a TV; the difference is that real people in real situations can’t be turned off. The stories are appealing, appalling, and amazing, and about passengers encountered anytime and anywhere. Movies, books, and TV programs do not tell all; the action is going on every minute of every day. When drivers meet, they often start conversations with, “You won’t believe this, but…,” or, “We should write a book about….”And now you have it, a cross-section of life of a cabdriver.
