The "local" drivers don't certainly all live in the Hamptons either. I worked at an ISP doing tech support while I was in high school, and one of the other guys also drove a cab in the Hamptons. This was 30-50 miles west of the Hamptons; yet still solidly Long Island (50 miles east of Manhattan) not the city.

That's a good point. I only knew of the driver we had, who was local, and had to go to do the opposite thing the other 9 months of the year (the occasional rich client airport run aside), but you're right, I totally expect that many of the drivers aren't local. I guess I was more thinking the cab companies themselves rather than the drivers.
