Screw taxis, take mass transit or walk. In NYC you can rid bus/subway unlimited for $7 for a one day metro card, or get a monthly and it is around $4 a day.

Taxis are a total rip off and I can't wait to see a day without them in the city.
Totally disagree on taxis here. They have their place. If I am going to a meeting in the middle of summer in a business suit I am not taking the subway and sweating like a pig waiting around, its taxi and A/C all the way. Well worth the 6-7 dollar ride.
