One would think riding in a Livery car or Gypsy cab, would be an unsavory experience, but actually, is quite the opposite. I used to work in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in a drug-ridden neighborhood, where most stores are not stores, but *fronts* for drug sales. I worked for a commercial printer out there and it was far away from my train line. Occasionally, I took a Livery car to work from the train station in Crown Heights, as there were no commercial cabs to be found in that area. I'd say their price was fair and I didn't run into any wacko or rude drivers with crude mouths. Plus Gypsy cab drivers were very nice about taking small furniture across town in their trunk. The thing that I don't like is I can rarely get a receipt from them on anything that looks like a legit fare receipt. It's usually a torn scrap of paper which looks like you could've written it yourself. Also, in the dark it is hard to tell a livery car from someone just trying to get you to get into his car. -Wendy
