Totally, utterly and completely false. Not only is this contrary to my own personal experience, but it also is contrary to the rules and regulations of the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission:

What are the rules regarding the use of E-Z Pass when passing through tolls?

From Driver Rule 2-25i:
The taxicab driver must use the E-Z Pass when passing through tolls. The passenger will reimburse the driver for any toll cost during the trip. The passenger will be paying the discounted E Z Pass toll rate.
