More Cab-Driving Stories

Taxicabs in major U.S. cities make an interesting study. They are always regulated but the regulations vary widely. Metro Washington D.C. is comprised of the District of Columbia surrounded by two states ( Maryland and Virginia) and each of the three has its' own regulations for cabs. Because it's our nation's capitol and involves three entities, it makes one of the more interesting studies. Washington, and its Maryland and Virginia suburbs, had a combined " zone overlay" for calculating fares instead of meters (rare in U.S. cities). This further adds to the interest in the area. Cab Driving was my ticket to college. There was much driving ( most of it in traffic), long hours, and hard work. Most was routine, but there were adventures, and many of the war-related ones are found in a previous book "The War at Home" ( May 2012). The book covers just about every sector of wartime conditions on the World War II home front and there is an important section on cab-driving. Most of the material in the book won't be read elsewhere and much of it will bring surprise. There were also good cab-driving stories not related to the war, and they are found here.
