Another personal comment. I accepted at least one applicable myth when
I was in college, and when I took a break and drove a cab for a year, I
would see this drivers at a cab stand, outside a downtown hotel, or a
longgg cab line at the airport, while I was cruising and finding fares.
And I wondered why they didn't do what I did. Did they like to relax in
sitting in their cabs. One I finally noticed that for most of these
guys, driving a cab was their second job. They can't work as hard as I
did, when it was my only job.

Speaking of driving a cab, isn't one of the first things you learn is how
to get to any of the local airports? I once took a cab from lower Manhattan
(NYC) to JFK airport and when I looked up we were cruising slowly through a
residential neighborhood somewhere in Queens. The driver was thoroughly
lost and asked to use my smartphone to get directions.

Hey, what's wrong with Queens? Donald Trump was from Queens.

What's wrong was that we were in a residential n'hood when we should have
been at the airport, but it's fine because he still got me there on time. I
usually have no problem with the scenic route.
Was this a medallion cab or a gypsy?
