For immediate Taxi Service, Dial 1-800-829-4222 (1-800-TAXI-CAB) You will be connected to your local taxi company.

Hailing a cab: Stand at the curb and hold arm straight up and straight out. Speak-up and speak clearly to the driver: It is difficult to hear you through the plexi-glass partition and above the traffic noise. Fasten your seatbelts. No smoking. It's the Law and you can be ticketed if stopped by the police. The meter should click-over approximately every 4 or 5 blocks - faster than that is illegal. Be sure to take your receipt. The medallion number of the taxi in which you were a passenger is on the receipt as well as a phone number to call if you need to report anything to the Taxi and Limosine Commission or if you lost any personal belonings in the cab.
