Well, that's one way to do it...
That's a pretty expensive trip, even with the discount. Wow.





Yeah, I saw that on Yahoo. What an expensive cab ride, that's crazy!



I think it's cute. The elderly couple don't drive but they're going to drive across the country & see tons of scenery that they've never seen. They're paying for the gas so if they wanted to take slight detours, like to the Grand Canyon, I doubt the cabbie would say no. They're paying for the adventure (and their cats). When I saw this story headline on msn I thought wtf, but hearing their story gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.




I understand
I Love Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Haha I get mad when cabs cost like $30 ..lol, that's funny.
they could'a got a uhaul for cheaper lol oh well....i personally wouldnt want to be a with a cab driver that i didnt even know for that amount of time lol





^^ I know, right .. what if he's a serial killer?!




So I want to know what happens to the cab after the trip?Didnt understand that part.



From what I saw on the news, the couple had previously met the cab driver & discussed the offer. Apparently nyc cabbies can bargain with customers for a set fair when they're travelling out of the city.
The couple is paying for gas, meals & hotels so I would assume the cab driver will just drive back. I doubt they're paying for his way back, but he'd still make at least $2,000 (after subtracting the gas & hotel money he'd pay to get home.)
