Taxi From Airport

These guys are the Airport Mafia! They charge over double the cost coming the other way! They also limit the number of cabs. the last time I was there I waited almost an hour for a taxi. I doubt if they're hurting as much as the drivers in town!

They aren't a mafia by any stretch of the imagination, and it pains me to see you refer to them as such. They are folks with families just trying to put food on the table, and they're the most professional, least problematic of our transportation services, being federally licensed drivers employed by the airport to provide a safe service. Their rates are higher because (a) they mostly only drive passengers one way, i.e. from the airport to their lodging, and (b) they don't have anywhere near the amount of potential clients that local taxi drivers have: their only customers are airport arrivals, for the most part.
