Over the past week, we’ve had a couple of readers telling us that taxis around town had been altering notices for the in-place $1 fuel surcharge, replacing the July 26 end date with November 12. A case of rogue cabbies? Nope, it’s above-board — the D.C. Taxicab Commission has officially extended the surcharge for another 120 days. Of course, given the current state of the city’s taxi industry, we can hardly blame our readers for jumping to such negative conclusions.
