Must be a gender thing. Then again, the subways seem to be crowded as ever at rush hour with people of both sexes. The only people I hear interviewed talking about "taking a cab" are rich yuppie ditzes who came here thinking life would be like Sex in the City or Friends.

Then again, if I were a mother, maybe I'd feel different...

Sometimes I think that taking the subway is safer than riding in a cab - the taxi drivers leave much to be desired.

I think you're right. I am a mother and my daughter thinks I'm crazy. I wouldn't let her go to NYC on a school trip last fall during one of the alerts. She has not let me forget there was no incident... I keep telling her to be thankful. Although these days, I'm not sure I would want to crawl into a cab either without knowing something about the person driving it!

Stay safe, New Yorkers and D.C.ites!
