The flat fare between JFK and Manhattan is now $50. This book is ten years old.

Lindy I don‘t understand how it can be called a flat fare if it doesn‘t include tolls. 7y

tournevis @keithmalek Sorry to have been short. My visitors have left and I have more time to write. The verb to cop means to nab, and 7y
tournevis @keithmalek and in the mid-19th c, copper (i.e. Nabber) was used in the Northern parts of the British Isles and Ireland for officers of the law, policemen. As Irishmen and Britons moved to the US in higher numbers the term was adopted, in NewYork and Toronto first, almost at the same time in the latter quarter of the 19th c. 7y
keithmalek @tournevis Very interesting. 7y
tournevis @keithmalek Very. This etymology is well-known, but institutional history often needs to use an innacurate story that provides better cohesion for those within the institution. It's a common phenomenon. Folklore functions the same way for ethnicities. (>anthropologist-mode off) 😊 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Hmmm, that doesn‘t sound right . NY-Presbyterian Hospital is on E68th and is the last building before the river...and that‘s 525 E68...so it doesn‘t even go to 600. 7y
