Cabbies Trying to Fight High Gas Prices

Getting a cab these days can be just a bit harder than it used to be. Cab drivers are sitting at the stands, waiting on customers to walk to them, rather than driving around looking for someone who needs a ride.

With the average gas price threatening to top $4 a gallon, several Baltimore cabdrivers said yesterday that the steep jump in fuel costs is taking money out of their pockets and forcing them to wait more at taxi stands, where riders come to them, rather than driving around the city and burning fuel while trying to pick up fares
