How quickly will Royal and Yellow start charging diabled customers an additional $2 for any ride, regardless of whether the pickup is a Sienna van or a "sedan" taxi? My guess ... almost immediately.

DC's taxis are among the worst I've had the 'pleasure' of hailing, both domestically and internationally (including many 3rd world countries). The pricing scheme in NYC should be adopted here to help avoid the daily, sometimes non-existent, upcharges taxi drivers add (for example, luggage in the trunk -- only large luggage qualifies for the surcharge, but 9 out of 10 drivers automatically add it on, regardless of size). Getting rid of these (often random) surcharges would help. Two other suggestions (beyond the 'large luggage in trunk' charge, are: the gas-prices-are-high surcharge and the 'additional passenger' surchage.
