Tipster: Please send this to the TLC, along with the cab number.
I apologize for using this format to reach out to you, but I’ve not had any success at trying to find an email or number for you. Can you please send me the details on this cab/driver, or your tipster so that we can quickly take the appropriate actions? We agree, this is unacceptable and will NOT be tolerated! allan.fromberg@tlc.nyc.gov
