Had to happen eventually. Still not a bad deal, though, all things considered. Especially if you run into traffic. There's nothing worse than the meter clicking higher and higher while you're stuck bumper to bumper.

If this is so, I've seen no mention on any of the cabs I've been in since Sunday. I would think that such news of an increase would be readily posted.
Now I'm waiting for a flat fee from LGA because I rarely go to JFK. I know, I'm dreaming.

Pursuant to this, the TLC hereby directs all medallion owners to ensure that all existing flat fare stickers and rate cards be appropriately updated with overlay stickers as of the $35 flat fares effective date of July 1, 2001.

Decals will also be available at the Central Hold Area of JFK Airport as well as the hold areas at LaGuardia Airport (see dispatchers as you exit the hold areas). Decals will likewise be available at the TLCs Woodside Safety and Emissions facility, located at 24-55 Brooklyn-Queens Expressway West Service Road (718-267-4500).
Pursuant to Taxicab Owners Rules 1-68(a) ("An owner shall promptly answer and comply with all questions, communications, directives and summonses from the Commission or its representatives and the NYC Department of Investigation or its representatives."), violations of a Commission Directive are subject, upon conviction, to a fine of $200 and suspension until compliance.

Two cab rides today and two $30 stickers. One of the drivers admitted to having "heard something about it" but the other was completely in the dark.
