Current hybrid cab driver Stephen Benesozcky, a New York cabbie with more then 20 years experience, said that when you increase lease rates, drivers are under more pressure to earn enough to cover the lease costs. But he likes driving a hybrid and appreciates the substantial savings in gasoline.
"What the city's doing is completely right," said Benesozcky. "We have just too many gas-guzzling cars on the road."
