This surcharge is not only not helping us; Tt's making customer pay no tips and lots of questions and confusions and conflicting with the additonal charge for additional passengers.

THis surcharge of 1$ on Extra button on meter is conflicting with the additional charges for additional passenger and thus angering the passengers and causing arguments and fights with drivers and get no tip. They don't care even if we explain.
Gas price is almost or over 4$ for regular gas and gas price has jumped up over 100% since 2002 and did we have meter increase of even just 50%? Hell, we didn't even have 25% increase.

Everybody in everybussiness in the world can raise price based on high cost of products but why no increase for Taxi drivers? Airlines, food cost, gallon of milk and a dozen of egg has gone almost 100%.

We should file a lawsuit over not getting meter increase.
