New York cabs

[filthiestfis]

Why is it that yellow cabs are synonymous with New York City? Aren't they available in other North American cities?

Twinkle, when you get off the plane, head for the Ground Transportation Centre in Newark airport(well signposted in my memory!) and ask about buses and shared taxis.

We got a shared taxi and it's basically a minibus that drops you off at whichever hotel you're staying at. i think for us it was about $12 each (2006 prices though!), but you can price which one is best for you.

For the return journey, most (if not all) hotels run a minibus service from their front door back to the two airports, but you usually have to book onto them a day or two before leaving.
