I drove a taxi for 2 years about ten years ago. The tips mentioned above are wonderful. The person driving the vehicle isn't doing it for fun. It is a dangerous jobs sometimes also. You are all doing the correct amount. A quick two mile trip should be a dollar or two. This was a mental health self imposed break from the corporate world....I had a blast...most people are great. No other drivers got out of the car to pick up a local fare...when I pulled up to somebody's house I got out like royalty was coming opened the door and my income reflected it. Got a whole lot of comments about how I drove like a human compared to other's.
