Yeah, something about a person who can still haul around luggage going to a hospice doesn't work for me. Hospices are usually the last stop for the bedridden, not the doomed-but-ambulatory. I'm no expert, of course...
Also, the "not taking a fare" aspect is just, eh. You're okay explaining the hours of mileage to your company? "She was a nice old lady... And she needs some spending money in the afterlife."
I don't know how cab fares & driver pay work now, but decades ago I was told that after the driver payed the "drop fee" (iirc), he just kept the rest of the fares for the shift. Also, the driver paid for all the gas - so cabs drivers frequently kept as little as possible in the gas tank, and just added what was needed if they got dispatched farther out.
This was west coast; please correct me if anyone has more information.
Also, until just now, I'd forgotten seeing 2-way radios when I got into cabs in the 70's. Wow, technology!
