Many taxi drivers put in long hours, working from eight to 12 hours a day, five or six days a week. They do not receive overtime pay. Approximately 20 percent of drivers work part time. Drivers may work Sundays, holidays, or evening hours.
Taxi drivers must be able to get along with their passengers, including those who try their patience or expect too much. Some people urge drivers to drive fast, for example, but drivers who comply may risk accidents or arrests for speeding. Drivers may have to work under other difficult conditions, such as heavy traffic and bad weather. Taxi drivers must be able to drive safely under pressure, and for long periods of time. In some places, drivers must be wary because there is a considerable chance of being robbed.
