The average New York City cab driver encounters a lot on a daily basis, from traffic distractions, annoying passengers and the volatile New York City temperament, the life of a cab driver is not necessarily everyone’s dream job. For any of you who have been to New York, I am sure you have all seen the various advertisements on top of their hoods. There has been various gentlemen’s clubs promoting their venues in different parts of the city. And why not cabs? They are viewed by millions upon millions of passengers and onlookers in a year so to us that’s great business!

Our buddies at the New York Post went a little deeper into the issue by saying, (Where does this quote end)“Racy strip-club ads plastered on top of yellow cabs are leaving modest drivers pink with embarrassment, saying they’re ashamed to face their kids and friends during their off time. Now, sheepish cabbies said they’ve had enough of the lingerie-clad temptresses, and they’re demanding the city revise the rules to eliminate the humiliating ads”.

Cabby Mohan Singh said his grandkids noticed a placard featuring a chesty woman in a “small bra” atop his cab.”My children ask me, What is this? I want to go to a gentlemen’s club?’ ” Singh roared at the monthly TLC meeting yesterday. “What should I answer?” “Under the current rules, the owner of a taxi’s medallion decides whether or not to put ads on the roof of the car.” Maybe these NYC cabbies should be making their pick ups and drops at these gentlemen’s clubs.

It seems like these cab drivers are more focused on the success of the many gentlemen’s clubs and losing focus on the real issue, the price of those damn medallions.It’s a recession guys, lets focus on the real issues.
