Ever Twitter about a frustrating cab ride only to have it get lost in the masses of people who do not care that your driver won't take you to Brooklyn? Well now there's Taxihack! You can email or Twitter your complaints and praise in (everyone includes medallion numbers), and there's even a Lost & Found section to help out other passengers.
While many of the entries seem positive, the most recent one comes in the form of a rant. The disgruntled pedestrian states: "Around 34 st in Manhattan, indicating available for service but, LOCKED DOORS, then refused service for 6 blocks to a movie theater b/c he was heading other direction."
So where's the website where we can complain about people who can't walk six blocks?
