Five Surprising Things About New York

Taxi Fare

Nothing amuses native New Yorkers more than seeing out-of-towners

actually pay for a ride in a taxi. Taxi rides are free for New York City

residents. At the end of a ride, locals wink that 'This one's on Rudy'

or suggest their driver 'Put this on the city's tab.'

Ah, very well then, guv'nor! No charge for you, sir!
