New York vs. San Francisco

sftaxi.jpgI usually find NYC vs. SF comparisons to be really boring, but for some reason people love to compare the two. Anyway, this one is very funny and actually pretty dead-on accurate.

My favorite line is an irate account of SF taxis: "When you call to have one pick you up, you need to know your address even if you’re at a restaurant, and intersections don’t count".

This is actually true, and totally baffels me. "waiter! what's the address here?" Chances are the waiter dosn't even know. Equally annoying is the fact that SF taxis pay no attention whatsoever to the light on their roof. Light on - means nothing. Light off - means nothing. Just hail anything and hope they stop.
