I had a cabbie try and tell me it was 125 bucks to take my drunk friend to richmond, and that the fee would double of she puked.
We were downtown.

either way, suck it up | 1- Well by the time your shit faced and done partying there is a pretty decent chance you can't bus even if you wanted to cause it probably stopped running. Of course this depends on where you are and exact time.
2- Drinking and driving?

3- Taxi is not their personal car? (so why are they super anal?)
Actually, i'm not sure about this. I never took a taxi before besides going to the airport on family trips. Are Taxi's the driver's own personal car?

As far as I know, cab licenses go with the cars, but you need to go with a cab company to get any business.
Basically, one person owns the car and hires drivers to drive it (max 10hrs/day, 40hrs/week). When I was working at VanMit, one fijian-indian guy was driving the "family cab" and bringing it in for servicing now and again.
