Routledge New York Cab Driver and His Fare - Routledge

Routledge's New York Cab Driver and His Fare offers an in-depth exploration of the lives and experiences of New York City cab drivers based on extensive research and first-hand interviews. This essential work addresses a profession that has long been overlooked despite cab drivers' prominent role in city transportation and culture. The book examines the fundamental tensions between drivers' responsibilities as providers of public service and their personal struggles as working professionals facing daily violence and pressure. Through clear, accessible language, the author presents authentic voices of cab drivers whilst providing passengers with practical insights into the profession. This sociological study fills a critical gap in urban transportation literature by offering both drivers and fares a deeper understanding of their shared experience on the city streets.
