How do I deal with New York City cab drivers?

Always be polite but mindful of your rights. New York City has a taxi cab rider bill of rights that outlines the basics of what you're entitled to.

If you do not like the way the driver is handling the vehicle or if you think that they are not taking the correct route then let the driver know. If the driver fails to respond, request to be dropped off immediately. Pay your fare and move on.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the Taxi and Limousine Commission.
