It’s egg cooking hot out and instead of enjoying a beer + lime + ice drink so nice, I’m standing outside a client’s office in Georgetown hailing a cab. Up pulls a Lincoln Town car and into luxury I slide.

Behind the wheel is Mohamed, a cabbie four months new, who is still polite and kind. Shocked at my good luck, we start talking about zone rates and psycho taxi drivers. He, like we, hates the DC zone system too. All day folks moan about how three block can cost $15 but a trip to National is only $12. All day Mohamed has to listen to these gripes.

Me, I didn’t gripe one bit, I just enjoyed his service. Across town we drove, in luxury and peace. Such a change, such difference, such a ride you too can enjoy the next time you need a cab. Trust me. No, better, trust him. Mohamed: (571)213-5479
