Pssst wanna know the best places to catch a cab in NYC at any given time?

An algorhythm of sorts has been created for you the cab grabbing public. Now you can find out where the best place to catch a cab at any given time during the week. The Taxi and Limousine Commission has been using GPS to help map out a virtual strategy for those who want to know which street is easier to catch a cab on say a Saturday night--Sixth or Seventh Avenue. By reading this article in the New York Times one can get an idea as to how this is being mapped and to give those who might want it, the explanation of an app from Apple called 'CabSense' for your iPhone.

This IS a helpful little slice of information, highly worth the read. However, if you're ever in a pinch, there are plenty of Subway stops and those trains do kinda run all over the city.
