  1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

    The colours are nice, but it needs more dragons in the competition lane. Or perhaps plesiosaurs in the pond. I can't decide.

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      And to be more accurate, the taxi should be driving in the bike lane.

      1. straffinrun   10 years ago

        So should Uber and Lyft.

    2. Juvenile Bluster   10 years ago

      The shark needs a laser beam on top of its head.

      1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

        Why? It already has a sea mine there.

        1. Reverend Draco   10 years ago

          But, it's a frickin shark with a frickin laser beam on it's head!

  2. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

    Who puts tire shredding sawblades in a sinkhole? Seriously, the chances of catching the are under those conditions are minimal, making the effort moot.

  3. This Is My Last Post   10 years ago

    I wonder if major hotel chains are going to lobby against Air B&B.

    1. BiPolarMoment   10 years ago

      You think they haven't?

  4. Fist of Etiquette   10 years ago

    This better not have been drawn with a drone. That's unfair.

  5. The Shrubber's Woodchipper   10 years ago

    Beeler? Beeler? Beeler?...

    1. Almanian - TRUMP THIS   10 years ago

      ^^THIS

      is what I came here to say, but Shrubber's W did the job - thank you, sir or ma'am.

      1. Jimbo   10 years ago

        Nice touch with the "sir or ma'am." Women on this site? As if!

      2. Pinky   10 years ago

        I didn't create an account on Reason's Hit & Run blog to be called ma'am!

  6. True Scottsman   10 years ago

    Sharks and naval mines are competing for my transportation dollars and I didn't even know it! The free market is alive and well!

  7. Rebel Scum   10 years ago

    It needs more labels.

    1. Swiss Servator, rudert schwer!   10 years ago

      *ahem*

      NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!

      1. Old Man With Candy   10 years ago

        Chester Gould nods.

  8. JW   10 years ago

    Those mines are going to make it a bitch to get to your cab.

  9. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

    There's a "Jumping the Shark" reference or joke in there somewhere but I cannot find it.

    Anyone? Anyone?

    1. Almanian - TRUMP THIS   10 years ago

      "Uber and Lyft didn't last long enough to even get a chance to jump the shark...."

      How'd I do?

      1. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

        Slap yourself.

        *rapidly moves away*

  10. Almanian - TRUMP THIS   10 years ago

    I don't get it. Awful, therefore, perfect.

    Happy Fucking Friday, Reasonoids. I hope you all run into construction on your next journey and die of boredom in a traffic jam.

    Also, for FUCK'S sake,

    *SLAP!*

    1. True Scottsman   10 years ago

      I deserved that.

    2. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

      *slap!*

      1. Swiss Servator, rudert schwer!   10 years ago

        *flails around, out of practice*

  11. Terc   10 years ago

    I hope the Uber driver is OK.

    1. Swiss Servator, rudert schwer!   10 years ago

      BUT NOT THE LYFT DRIVER?!?!?! I SEE HOW YOU LIBBERTARIUNZ ARE!!1oneone!11eleventy!!

      /derp

      1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

        That stupid moustache kills any empathy I might have.

        1. Charles Easterly   10 years ago

          You just had to mention a moustache in a thread about riders, didn't you, UnCivil?

          *attempts to narrow gaze in Switzy fashion*

  12. AlmightyJB   10 years ago

    The post office and fire department are not going to be happy. Why does Nate Beeler hate public sector union workers?

  13. C. S. P. Schofield   10 years ago

    To complete the picture, there should be a frame marked "light rail" with a politician pouring money down an apparently bottomless hole.

    1. Almanian - TRUMP THIS   10 years ago

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      /sage

  14. Nosea   10 years ago

    Those are land mines people--get the illegals to clear the lanes.

  15. AD-RtR/OS!   10 years ago

    A government of the cronies, by the cronies, and for the cronies, shall forever suck the blood out of free enterprise.

  16. Galane   10 years ago

    What about the "One Cab to Rule Them" sweetheart deal New York City has made with Nissan, barring all but one model of Nissan from being used for most cabs in the city?
