11/16/14. 7pm. I took a yellow cab--#479--from Newark Penn Station to Orange, NJ. First, he lied, saying the fare is $25. I told him I'd never paid more than $20. He said OK. He spoke on his phone for most of the ride, loudly in his native language, as if he were alone in the car and not carrying a paying fare. He steered with one hand and held his phone with the other hand. When we reached my destination, he stopped the car across the street in a traffic lane instead of parking in front of my building. I told him about the danger of driving while holding his phone. He told me to get out of the car, as there was a car behind us honking. I got the #479 off the door, but not the taxi company name. I'll research that and make a complaint/report him. He then sped off, with the door hardly closed.
