    The last few days I'm relegated to taking a taxi to get home and get back into town.

    Thurs evening, Fri morning and evening taxi rides were $20 flat rate, between both taxi businesses. I can tolerate that. But this morning my ride into town was metered.. and ended up being $26. Slowing down behind slow traffic did not help. WTF. IÆm going to have ask the driver to simply let me out at the $20 point.

    I think you skipped the part where I wrote "I'm relegated to
    taking a taxi"

    I have a car, an SUV in particular. But it is indisposed at the
    moment.
