I am so naive. I've been asked that before by a Taxi driver in NYC I believe on my way to the airport and just said "Uh, shouldn't you?" I never realized what they were up to.

In many places there are fixed prices for rides between major points, like city center->airport, etc. Not the case in NYC?

There are for certain airports. A yellow cab will be cheaper than an Uber in some cases especially when surge pricing is in play.
