"Author Graham Hodges, who as a younger man worked as a cabby, tells a social and labor history of taxicabs in New York City. This revised edition features a new preface and a new last chapter that covers the rise of ridesharing companies, which the author criticizes. The rise of ridesharing (Uber and Lyft) is what precipitated the reissuing the book in a new edition"-- Provided by publisher
