Airport Taxis

Taxis that operate from airports are especially good targets because they are usually busy, and take their customers longer distances. A taxi driver that works from JFK airport will accumulate over $100 in three trips to Manhattan.

Airport taxis are organized and work in shifts, which makes it easier to find out when shifts end. Airport taxis also work in large areas, and may be unfamiliar with some neighborhoods, which could lead to an attack.

These taxis are more likely to have a radio connection and a dispatcher they can call in case an emergency situation arises.

Airport taxis may be unlikely targets because there is more hassle for the robber to get one (going to the airport, or arranging for pickup).
