NYC cabbie’s license revoked for flirting with Brooklyn passenger
A cab driver who made crude remarks to a female passenger had his license revoked by an administrative law judge.
Cab driver Mirza Baig, 22, picked up a female passenger from LaGuardia Airport in March who was going to a Brooklyn apartment. During the ride, the passenger asserted that Baig asked the woman “whether she was going to her boyfriend’s house.” Baig’s questions become steadily invasive – he asked her who she “would be sleeping with that night and whether she would be sleeping with her boyfriend.”
ALJ Tynia Richard noted in her ruling that while the passenger left an almost 20 percent tip, she did so because she did not want to “anger” Baig, despite the fact that Baig did not offer to assist her in removing her luggage from the trunk of the cab.
