Between the way the economy is right now and the fact the price of gas is creeping up and ridership is down and today I read 2 story's that make me wonder how much more can cabby's take.
The first story, is from Fiji, where you would think the biggest problem would be to pick which beach to go to.
I wrote about a story a month ago from Australia about a cab driver, who ran over a fare beater, it seems to have happend again in Fiji.
This driver as well as the driver in Australia where both arrested, so please don't try this at home as they say, you go from being the victim to being the bad guy in a heart beat.
The second story is from North Kent, England, a cab driver was beat and robbed and it took the cop's 30 minutes to arrive, despite 4 calls to 999 (there 911 I guess) and a take out joint hitting there alarm which has a direct line to the cop's.
What makes this even more amazing is the police station is 1 half mile away, the injured driver feels the closed circuit cameras that have been installed in the cab's there have made the cop's feel that is a substitute for quick response time.
The good news is the 2 assailants have been caught and are awaiting trial, where we can only hope they get something other then probation, be careful out there.
