Talk:Taxis of the United States

message: "The zone system was instituted shortly after World War II when meters were first authorized, when a temporary suspension of the meter system was imposed." I don't get it. Were they authorized or suspended? --Gbleem 12:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  DC meter suspension 

message: I'm watching a rerun of CSI NY and they have a dead gypsy cab driver. What about gypsy cabs in NY,NY? --Gbleem 12:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gypsy Cab in New York 

message: I have merged in the separate article to eliminate a huge overlap. The entire US article is within recommended size limits so there is no need to splinter the information. 'Semi-formal' is not suitable to the article and has been moved back. TerriersFan 17:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New York City

message: I have marked up some contentious statements with (fact) tags. These need to be sourced rapidly or will be removed - please see WP:CITE. TerriersFan 19:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: NYC - citations

message: This is a very poor section that is unsourced and contentious. I have removed the hype and tried to leave the section in a NPOV form. The section would benefit from the attentions of an interested editor who is prepared to source it. TerriersFan 20:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission 

message: Why does the taxi have to be of a NYC taxi?  Seems like a more unbiased approach should contain a picture of a taxi, and simply label it as a taxi.  This article should not show favor to a particular city.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.228.110 (talk) 22:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting point. However, it is correct to label its origin since it makes the image more informative. What is needed is a good photo of a representative taxi in each city that has a section. Do you live in any; and if so can you take one? TerriersFan 02:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image 

message: When playing GTA, I noticed that most cabs had a circular red light above their license plate or their rear lights, and on their grille. What's with that?   
-> It's an emergency light, to be activated by the cab driver if he feels threatened by his passenger(s). Usually, it's orange, though. It seems police officers are trained to look for the flashing lights, but outside the force, most people do not know about this. 84.143.94.86 (talk) 09:38, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  GTA IV (and maybe elsewhere) 

message: Why does it call someone a raghead? Seems racist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.133.55 (talk) 21:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Boston

message: The fares for cabs in D.C. went up this year.  Are the fares listed here the new ones?
Also, the part about the Arlington, Virginia cabs does not name the company that has the all-hybrid fleet.  Or are all licensed cabs in Arlington required to be hybrids?

thread_title:  Washington area 

message: The discussion of security regulations in Boston cabs reads like a tract or a ballot proposition pitch. Digressions about how "nothing is bulletproof"? Descriptions of city offices being "silently apoplectic" when presented with simple counterarguments? It's unencyclopedic in tone and embarrassingly lopsided, and if I knew more about the issue I'd be first in line to fix it up. As it is I guess the best I can do is complain about it on a talkpage for now. 216.239.45.67 (talk) 17:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Would be nice to see some history of Taxicabs in the United States and more general background information. Right now it feels like a collection of shaky, bullet-pointed stubs about cabs in larger cities.
