Cab Drivers Struggle As Nevadans Try To Save Money
While local casinos are reporting a major decrease in hotel room bookings, their financial troubles are trickling downward. Taxi cab drivers are the latest victims of our struggling economy, some saying that business isn't just slow, it's practically non-existent.

This is a never ending story. I have driven a cab for 36 years. Cab drivers whine no matter what. The cab drivers that are sitting playing cards and at the airport whine the most. There is always money to make in the cab buisness there is always an opportunity. No doubt the money is not as good as it once was, but somedays it is, you just got to work for it, not sitting. Spending money for gas? Well hello that is part of the cab drivers job.

Who cares. Those guys are total garbage. From a personal experience one of the pakis threw my luggage out of the cab and yelled at me to get out. Not to mention a person did not feel comfortable with riding with them so they asked the White guy for a ride instead ,so those third worlders yelled at the costomer. The first thing visitors want to see coming to RENO is not brown faces.
