The job (cab driving) is actually quite enjoyable and the vast majority of people very well behaved. No bedbugs ever. Theres a reason cabs have smooth interiors vs the cloth of the private cars used for uber...
maybe some of the out of work cabbies could see if the big box chain stores, grocery stores/etc need delivery drivers. I know Kroger delivers in some urban areas. Kroger.com splash page was begging for hires tonight.
