I just got rejected for a short ride from a cab at the airport in nyc. Dude was very angry I was only going a few miles. Hopped out, ordered a Lyft, got a great ride from a dude with a wife and kids.

It's illegal for a taxi at NYC to reject a fare to any part of NYC. He might huff and puff if you're going out of his way, but he has to take you. You shouldn't have gotten out.

Sounds like a great idea to force someone who doesn't want to take you somewhere to take you somewhere. I'm not letting someone make me an asshole. I'd rather use the app.

u mean a job?

I ran out of that cab when he got angry. Zero chance I stay and it’s great to have the competition of Lyft and uber
