Airport cab fare controversy prompts rider complaint
Former North Ridgeville councilman Russ Friedrich found airport cab charges steep after a Cleveland Hopkins flight. ACE Cab supervisor Devang Bavishi says dead head miles outside Lorain County raise fares, a practice he calls standard but unfair to county residents. City officials acknowledge no set out of county rate laws and weigh possible fairer solutions. Friedrich disputed the driver did not pre-negotiate and a $12 voucher was charged back to him.
