NYC Taxi drivers overcharged riders
Thousands of New York City taxi drivers over-changed passengers by more than $8.3 million over the past two years by setting their meters at a rate that was supposed to be used for trips to the suburbs, the Taxi and Limousine Commission said.
At least 1.8 million trips were wrongly charged at the suburban rate, which is double the rate within city lim-its, the commission said.
