How much do you tip an an average ($8-$15) ride? I used to give a buck, then $2, and felt generous. Now, i notice that the credit card reader suggests a tip STARTING at 20%, and going to 30%!! Is 30% a joke? Did my 7 minute ride from midtown morph into a 2 hr gourmet meal??

Plus the cost of gasoline is still significantly higher than when the CC system was set up, and they still work 12-hour shifts, and the 5pm turnover still has them stuck in rush-hour traffic coming and going.
