DH and I were at the Met game and we went there by train. So after the game we could not get back on the 7 because there was some kind of fire and the power was out and they were not sure how long it would take to restore power. Fine, so we try to grab a cab and for a 10 min ride to Astoria they wanted to charge us $30.00, DH told them to have a nice evening and we walked away. The nerve!

We were going to go to the LIRR but then we saw that power was restored and were able to take the 7 after all and we didn't have to pay for a token, they were just letting the people on.
