Under a new state law, drivers can face up to 90 days in jail and fines as high as US$1,250.


The crack-down targets drivers who approach passengers as they emerge from the terminals and offer them a ride into the city for an under-the-table fare. The legal flat taxi rate is US$45.50 plus tolls.


These trips aren't always a rip-off, but many are.
