Anyone living in Metro New York knows how expensive it is. And if you happen to have a car, things like gas, parking and tolls are much higher than the rest of the country.
All taxis must pay tolls too, and they usually do so with an electronic toll card called EZ-Pass.
However taxi driver 69-year-old Rodolfo Sanchez found there was an easy way around the system. By tailgating close to other car, he fooled the electronics into thinking one long vehicle was going through. By doing this, he saved $28,000.
Obviously the officials weren't too pleased when they found out. Sanchez says he needed the extra money so he could provide more for his family. He's been charged with grand larceny and theft of services.
