[quote name="Choson"]Found this today as a protected entry on the toronto lj community, which is where I first heard of this crazy feller. [quote name="four20"]Hi, How do I become a taxi driver? I want to drive a cab once or twice a week mainly for the novelty of it. Do the cab companies hire me then send me for training or licensing or do I get licensed then work for a cab company? Is it a lucrative job? I heard that you lease the cab for the shift and pay a brokerage fee (for getting radio calls if not driving an independed taxi), buy fuel and just take fares. As long as I make some money, its all good I guess. I like driving and seeing new places, meeting new people, and being out at night. I've had my drivers license for 11 yrs now, and don't have any violations. I love full size rear wheel drive cars (my first car was a used police car). I also have a "Blue Card" (Toronto Police Driver Certificate) that I got when I use to drive/work as a high school intern with the Police. [/quote][/quote]
