   No - it would be better to have them picked up my a family memeber.  In   
   fact, it is a parental responsibility.  Notice how many people have SUVs?   
      
   BTW - the cabs pay congression pricing AND you have to pay the $2.75   
   Spite tax to the MTA.   
      
   My fishing pols won't even fit in a many NYC cabs.  So if I come into   
   Penn Station and hop in a cab to go to Brooklyn, not only do I have to   
   pay the congresion pricing TAX, I have to first find one that can fit   
   the rods.   
      
   It is a TAX designed to prevent someone from traveling in NYC without   
   paying the MTA first, and it makes living here more miserable.
