Within Manhattan, you can usually get where you're going for under $20 sans tip. When I lived there, I wouldn't necessarily call that "cheap" compared to the underground alternative... but definitely just cheap enough that, after a long day, I would raise my hand if I saw the light on instead of walking the next block to the subway.

But how often do people use cabs in Manhattan? If you used it say twice a weekday then that is like $10K a year on cabs alone!
