One Cabbies Approach to Energy Conservation
I was on my way to work earlier this week, riding in the back of a taxi cab from downtown Saint Paul to the Minneapolis airport. As we were nearing the airport the cab driver told me of this new program to help cab companies deal with the sky rocketing gas prices. He went on to explain that this new program calls for the taxi cab being put in neutral for the last quarter mile of the fare. The passenger will then be asked to get out and push the automobile, cabbie and all, to the final destination.
I declined. I guess nowadays, everyone has to do their part.
