Boston Cab Drivers Want To Increase Taxi Fare

“Increase the fares,” shouted Boston’s cab drivers at Roxbury Crossings this morning. Their argument: the increased gas price is taking a toll on their daily wages since they have to shell the fuel money out of their own pockets.

If approved by Boston Police, which regulates cab fares, the per-mile fare will increase by 50 percent.

Boston Bus – Using Technology To Track Crime

 

As I was standing in a crowded bus one afternoon in Boston, this poster caught my eye.

This was a public notice by MBTA, the transporation authority and it says, “If you rub against me, I’ll expose you.” And in the second line, it asks passengers to take a picture of the offender with their mobile phone cameras and report it to MBTA police.

Good example of use of technology to catch predators.
