Taxi Driver is a 1976 American neo-noir psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Paul Schrader, and starring Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Leonard Harris, and Albert Brooks. Set in a decaying and morally bankrupt New York City following the Vietnam War, the film follows Travis Bickle (De Niro), a veteran and taxi driver, and his deteriorating mental state as he works nights in the city.

In New York City, Travis Bickle takes a job as a night shift taxi driver to cope with his chronic insomnia and loneliness. He frequently goes to the porn theaters on 42nd Street and keeps a diary in which he consciously attempts to include aphorisms such as "you're only as healthy as you feel." He becomes disgusted with the crime and urban decay that he witnesses in the city and dreams about ridding "the scum off the streets."

Experiencing an existential crisis and seeing various acts of prostitution throughout the city, Travis confides in a fellow taxi driver nicknamed Wizard about his violent thoughts. However, Wizard dismisses them and assures him that he will be fine. In an attempt to find an outlet for his rage, Travis begins a program of intense physical training. A fellow taxi driver recommends him to a black market gun dealer, Easy Andy, from whom Travis buys four handguns. At home, Travis practices drawing his weapons, and modifies one to allow him to hide and quickly deploy it from his sleeve. He begins attending Palantine's rallies to scope out his security. One night, Travis shoots and kills a man attempting to rob a convenience store run by a friend of his.

Schrader also used himself as inspiration. In a 1981 interview with Tom Snyder on The Tomorrow Show, he related his experience of living in New York City while battling chronic insomnia, which led him to frequent pornographic bookstores and theaters because they remained open all night. Following a divorce and a breakup with a live-in girlfriend, he spent a few weeks living in his car. After visiting a hospital for a stomach ulcer, Schrader wrote the screenplay for Taxi Driver in "under a fortnight." He states, "The first draft was maybe 60 pages, and I started the next draft immediately, and it took less than two weeks." Schrader recalls, "I realized I hadn't spoken to anyone in weeks [...] that was when the metaphor of the taxi occurred to me. That is what I was: this person in an iron box, a coffin, floating around the city, but seemingly alone." Schrader decided to make Bickle a Vietnam vet because the national trauma of the war seemed to blend perfectly with Bickle's paranoid psychosis, making his experiences after the war more intense and threatening.[13]

While preparing for his role as Bickle, De Niro was filming Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 in Italy. According to Boyle, he would "finish shooting on a Friday in Rome ... get on a plane ... [and] fly to New York." De Niro obtained a taxi driver's license, and when on break, would pick up a taxi and drive around New York for a couple of weeks before returning to Rome to resume filming 1900. De Niro apparently lost 16 kilograms (35 pounds) and listened repeatedly to a taped reading of the diaries of criminal Arthur Bremer. When he had time off from shooting 1900, De Niro visited an army base in Northern Italy and tape-recorded soldiers from the Midwestern United States, whose accents he thought might be appropriate for Travis's character.[15]

I've seen analysis that argues that Travis is a sort of metaphor for the rise of right wing extremism or Nazism and that scenes are shot to show he is a racist. But unless literally NOTHING in the movie can be trusted, and anything can be his delusions there are several racially tense scenes like the gang of youths that attack his taxi and the menacing pimps in the 24hr deli.

*To be a qualified driver, you must have no prior convictions of a crime that would, in the judgment of the SFMTA, present a risk to public safety if the permit is granted, including but not limited to convictions involving sexual assault, the use of a vehicle in the commission of a felony, fraud, violence against a person, reckless disregard for public safety, two or more recent convictions of drug-related offenses, or two or more recent convictions of driving under the influence, whether or not such convictions occurred while driving a Motor Vehicle for Hire. The SFMTA may, in its discretion, issue a permit notwithstanding prior convictions if, following review of an individual case, it determines that the applicant or Permit Holder does not pose a current risk to public safety

Scorsese: The goddess-whore complex. You're raised to worship women, but you don't know how to approach them on a human level, on a sexual level. That's the thing with Travis, the DeNiro character - the taxi driver. The girl he falls for, the Cybill Shepherd character - it's really important that she's blond, a blue-eyed goddess.

A taxi driver, who does not own the taxi, is generally considered an employee. However, workers' compensation is not required if the taxi driver leases the taxi from a person who personally and regularly operates the taxi (40 or more hours per week), the taxi driver is not an employee of the taxi owner unless the taxi owner controls the taxi driver (directs, supervises, or has the power to hire or fire).

For Workers Compensation purposes ONLY, any independent livery base in New York City, Nassau and Westchester Counties must provide coverage for these drivers through membership in the Independent Livery Drivers Benefit Fund or by obtaining a full New York workers' compensation insurance policy.

Maybe I've just been lucky or look my age but when I have something in the trunk the driver of a yellow cab usually gets out to help me with it. On my way in from the airport I usually have my money ready and give it to the driver as soon as we pull up in front of my building, before getting out of the (ta && ta.queueForLoad ? ta.queueForLoad : function(f, g){document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', f);})(function(){ta.trackEventOnPage('postLinkInline', 'impression', 'postLinks-115745769', '');}, 'log_autolink_impression');car. Maybe the tip is the incentive for the driver to get out and carry my bag to the curb. At the airport sometimes they are really quick to get out and get stuff out of the trunk (perhaps the airport doesn't want them lingering too long), so can't always pay them before I get out.

The only recent time I can recall when the driver didn't help and I wish he had was a couple of years ago when I was trying to get home with 8 or so 30 or 40 gallon bags of potting soil from in front of the Home Depot at 3d Av and 59th street. It's bad enough trying to get a cab there but trying to get all that potting soil from the cart I had used to get it up to the street from the store's lower level and into the cab was a real challenge. Miraculously, there were a couple other store patrons standing on the curb who saw my dilemma and helped me get it all in the trunk. I can't remember if the driver did anything to help when I got home. I just remember stacking the bags on the curb and going into my building and getting a luggage cart to get them up to my apartment .(Since then I have returned to my former potting soil source -- a place in Vermont that charges more but has really good soil and ships for a fairly reasonable fee -- generally no more than the cost of a cab from Home Depot to my place).

I would say it's about 50/50. I do tip extra if they help with luggage but give a normal tip if they don't. On one of my first trips I made the mistake of getting out of the taxi before he opened the trunk - and he drove off with my suitcase! Since then I always wait until the trunk has been opened before I get out (and make sure to get the taxi id number).

If you do not have a driver license, learn how to apply for your first driver license. Apply for a Class E driver license instead of a Class D driver license. The Class D license and the Class E license both require the same vision, written and road tests.

The time-scale of hippocampal involvement in supporting episodic memory remains a keenly debated topic, with disagreement over whether its role is temporary or permanent. Recently, there has been interest in how navigation by hippocampally-compromised patients in environments learned long ago speaks to this issue. However, identifying patients with damage that is primarily hippocampal, control subjects matched for navigation experience, and testing their in situ navigation, present substantial problems. We met these challenges by using a highly accurate and interactive virtual reality simulation of central London (UK) to assess the navigation ability of a licensed London taxi driver who had sustained bilateral hippocampal damage. In this test, patient TT and matched control taxi drivers drove a virtual London taxi along the streets they had first learned 40 years before. We found that the hippocampus is not required for general orientation in the city either in first person or survey perspectives, detailed topographical knowledge of landmarks and their spatial relationships, or even for active navigation along some routes. However, in his navigation TT was very reliant on main artery or 'A' roads, and became lost when navigation depended instead on non-A roads. We conclude that the hippocampus in humans is necessary for facilitating navigation in places learned long ago, particularly where complex large-scale spaces are concerned, and successful navigation requires access to detailed spatial representations. 2351a5e196
