The D.C. Taxicab Commission announced yesterday that it would restore a baggage-handling surcharge that it had originally removed from a fare increase proposal that will likely take effect in the coming months.

I don’t know about you, but every time I drive a car somewhere and use the trunk, I always double check that I have the keys in my hand before I slam the door. That kind of cautious checking probably would have served one baggage handler well yesterday, as he closed the cargo hold door with another handler inside at National Airport.
