LGA should have flat fees like JFK. Had a cabbie take me on a scenic route up over the triboro before going to downtown Manhattan. I flipped on him when I noticed, my friend mentioned filing a report and the driver started freaking out because he knew he was fucked. He stopped near a cop and the cop had to settle it for us - we paid him half the meter and got in a different cab.

One tried to take me on the scenic route from LaGuardia to my home in flushing he could just turn onto the grand central and be there in like 5 minutes he tried to go long island express way. I'm like hey asshole what are you doing? I live here don't pull this shit. He quickly turned and went the right way.

Used an Uber or Lyft to try to go LGA to Astoria (shouldn’t even be 10 minutes) and I realized we were going the wrong way… I start seeing signs for JFK. Dude.

At least the app records the route taken and it was easy to dispute.
