Yellow Apple: The Big Apple from a Yellow Point of View (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781979383486)

Most New Yorkers and tourists have taken a cab at some point, but very few know what it's like to be the driver. The secret to hacking is to have a plan-even if, just like in life, the plan rarely works. After all, it's New York! Stressful situations arise. Traffic is murder, and there's gridlock. A passenger is more concerned with the radio station than the route. Or a couple is getting hot and heavy in the backseat before their destination is even close.

After over thirty years of driving a New York City cab, Joe Hacker has experienced it all and is ready to share his intriguing and hilarious stories. Think Friday is the worst day for traffic? Guess again! Joe reveals why Thursday is the real doomsday. Think your phone's traffic app knows the city better than Joe? Not so! He reveals all the dos and don'ts of mapping certain routes at various times.

Additionally, Joe discusses the past and present state of the industry, including the effects of immigration, safety concerns, and (problematic) Uber drivers. Discover how taxi drivers navigate the highs and lows while laughing along the way. Buckle up, because now you're in the driver's seat!
