More on our Bangladesh cab driver
Our cab driver said that when he came back from Bangladesh and lost his job as a pharmacy manager, he took the first thing he could find to make money, which was driving a cab. He told us that we were lucky to have caught a cab at the time we did because it was Friday, and 80% of the cab drivers in New York are Muslim, and they were getting ready to break for prayer in a half hour.
He said one can only drive a cab for five years because of the complications from sitting all day and not having access to a bathroom. He said he had had two UTI’s already and his back was always hurting.
