You Red Sox Bostonians certainly make the day for the Medallian hack drivers and for the Black Car drivers. With you out there, I wish I were still hacking (as I did many, many years ago) - but I would have been too honest then to rip you off - as obviously you are being currently - if you are paying what you say.

There is a $30 cap on a fare from JFK to "the city" - our word for Manhattan - plus toll and tip. $40 at most, unless you ask for the free Queensboro Bridge less expensive route. From LGA, the taxi fare will depend on the "city" destination. I pay $16-22 plus toll and tip. But, hey, if it is EA and you can get away with it, be my guest - take the limo. We love your Beantown money.

I'm like JS, use the A train from JFK, or the Q33bus/Eor7train, or the M60 on local streets from LGA. You could be there faster; and you will certainly have the money toward a nice Midtown NYC steak dinner.

BoSox Fans, as always --- WUNYear!
